2 Chronicles 13:2

New English Translation

²He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother^[a] was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah.^[b]

There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

2 Chronicles 13:2 tnHeb “The name of his mother.”
2 Chronicles 13:2 tn The parallel text in 1 Kgs 15:2 identifies his mother as “Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom” (=Absalom, 2 Chr 11:20). Although most English versions identify the mother’s father as Uriel of Gibeah, a number of English versions substitute the name “Maacah” here for the mother (e.g., NIV, NCV, CEV, NLT).
