THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS Part 49: The Kings of Judah
(Abijah)
Abijah burned in lust just like his father. He
married 14 women and sired 22 sons and 16 daughters. The Bible
doesn’t record his age, but he became a powerful king. During his
short three-year reign, Abijah set out to bring the northern tribes
under his control and restore the unity of the splintered nation
from the time of Joshua. He willfully ignored the Word of God when
he presumed to lecture King Jeroboam that the nation had been
divided because of the sins of the kings and the people. He
completely disregarded the fact that it had been prophetically
recorded during his grandfather’s reign that Israel would secede
from Judah and Benjamin during his father’s reign. Abijah came to
the throne because of God’s promises to King David. He started out
with godly zeal, but his acceptance of idolatry and demon worship
dramatically shortened his life.
