Some bible scholars believe that the latter name was an error in the manuscript.
Abijah began to reign BC 959, and reigned three years. He was succeeded by Asa. Another Abijah was second son of Samuel, called Abiah in our version. A third Abijah was son of Jeroboam I., king of Israel, who was the only one of his family who was suffered to go down to the grave in peace. A fourth Abijah was a descendant of Eleazar.
