1 Kings 15:4

1 Kings 15:4

2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. ^aHis mother’s name was ^bMaachah the granddaughter of ^cAbishalom.

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; ^ahis heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

4 Nevertheless ^afor David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem;

5 because David ^adid what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, ^bexcept in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 ^aAnd there was war between¹ Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 Kings 15:3

1 Kings 15:5 >>

A lamp - A son and successor to perpetuate his name and memory, which otherwise had gone into obscurity. Jerusalem - That he might maintain that city, and temple, and worship, as a witness for God, in the world, against the Israelites and heathen world.
