A Mother's Confusing Name
Scholars note a difference in the name of Abijah's mother between this verse ('Micaiah') and other passages ('Maachah'). Most conclude 'Micaiah' is a copyist's error for 'Maachah,' who was the granddaughter of King David's son, Absalom. This detail shows how careful comparison of scripture helps clarify historical records.
