This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah - The disastrous action at Zemaraim, which caused the loss of the flower and chivalry of his army, broke his spirits and crippled his power.
the Lord struck him, and he died - that is, Jeroboam. He lived, indeed, two years after the death of Abijah (1Ki 14:20; 1Ki 15:9). But he had been threatened with great calamities upon himself and his house, and it is apparently to the execution of these threatenings, which issued in his death, that an anticipatory reference is here made.
