Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 16-18. And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king,.... Or rather his grandmother, 1 Kings 15:10,
he removed her from being queen; the Septuagint version is, "that she should not minister to Astarte"; which was the goddess of the Zidonians; of this and the two next verses, 1 Kings 15:10- :,
1 Kings 15:10- :,
1 Kings 15:10- :.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 15:16. Concerning Maachah — See the matter fully explained in Clarke's note on "1 Kings 15:13".
The Jews imagine that Maachah repented, and her name became changed into Michaiah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah; and that this was done that there might be no mention of her former name, lest it should be a reproach to her: but we have already seen another gloss on this name. See on 2 Chronicles 11:20.
