made Abijah: Deuteronomy 21:15-17, 1 Chronicles 5:1, 1 Chronicles 5:2, 1 Chronicles 29:1
Reciprocal: Psalms 122:5 - the thrones
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maacah the chief,.... The chief of all his sons, head over them, being the son of his most beloved wife, and her firstborn however, and perhaps might be of a greater capacity than the rest of his children:
to be ruler among his brethren; or over them; gave him greater authority, and intrusted him with more power, set him above them, and treated him as heir apparent to the crown: for he thought
to make him king; either to take him into partnership in the throne with him in his lifetime, or to appoint and declare him to be his successor.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeush was probably the oldest of Rehoboam’s sons, and should naturally and according to the provisions of the Law Deuteronomy 21:15-17 have been his heir. But Rehoboam’s affection for Maachah led him to transgress the Law.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 11:22. Made Abijah - the chief — Abijah certainly was not the first-born of Rehoboam; but as he loved Maachah more than any of his wives, so he preferred her son, probably through his mother's influence. In Deuteronomy 21:16, this sort of preference is forbidden; but Rehoboam had a sort of precedent in the preference shown by David to Solomon.
