ABIJAM'S WICKED REIGN OVER JUDAH. (I Kings 15:1-8)
Abijam—His name was at first Abijah (II Chronicles 12:16); "Jah," the name of God, according to an ancient fashion, being conjoined with it. But afterwards, when he was found "walking in all the sins of his father" [I Kings 15:3], that honorable addition was withdrawn, and his name in sacred history changed into Abijam [LIGHTFOOT].
