"And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels." — 2 Chronicles 15:18 (ASV)
And he brought into the house of God. —The verse is identical with 1 Kings 15:15, substituting God for Jehovah. The things that his father had dedicated were, doubtless, taken from the spoils after Abijah’s great victory over Jeroboam (2 Chronicles 13:16–19); and the things that he himself had dedicated were a portion of the Cushite booty (2 Chronicles 14:13–15).
The brief reference contained in that single verse of Kings is thus an evident confirmation of the chronicler’s narrative concerning the victories of Abijah and Asa, which he alone records.
