1 Kings 15:6

Compare all

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.

7 ^aNow the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 ^aSo Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place.

1 Kings 15:6

The writer repeats what he had said in I Kings 14:30, in order to remind the reader that Abijam inherited this war from his father. Abijam' s war is described in marginal reference That the author of Kings gives none of its details is agreeable to his common practice in mere military matters. Thus he gives no details of Shishak' s expedition, and omits Zerah' s expedition altogether.
