1 Kings 15:1

1 Kings 15:1-8. Abijam, king of Judah (2 Chronicles 13:1-2)

1. reigned Abijam over Judah Better, with R.V. began Abijam to reign. This is the sense of the verb here, though in the next verse it must be simply -reigned." The A.V. renders it -began to reign" in 1 Kings 15:25 of this chapter, and elsewhere.

Abijam The LXX. adds -son of Rehoboam." The name is Abijahin 2 Chron., and, comparing with other names of like formation, that appears the more correct.
