SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:18
Y tomó Roboam por mujer a Mahalat, hija de Jerimot hijo de David, y a Abihail, hija de Eliab hijo de Isaí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 11:18
Verse 18. Took him Mahalath] By marrying thus in the family of David, he strengthened his right to the Jewish throne.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And Rehoboam took him Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David, to wife , etc.] Of which son of David we nowhere else read; perhaps he might be the son of one of his concubines, or he might have two names: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse ; who was David’s eldest brother. ( 1 Samuel 17:13,28). She must be a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of his.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-23 - When the priests and Levites came to Jerusalem, the devout, piou Israelites followed them. Such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel, left the inheritance of their fathers, and went to Jerusalem, that they might have free access to the altar of God, and be out of the temptation to worship the calves. That is best for us, whic is best for our souls; in all our choices, religious advantages must be sought before all outward conveniences. Where God's faithful priest are, his faithful people should be. And when it has been proved that we are willing to renounce our worldly interests, so far as we are calle to do so for the sake of Christ and his gospel, we have good evidenc that we are truly his disciples. And it is the interest of a nation to protect religion and religious people __________________________________________________________________
