Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: 1Ki 15:10 - Mother's

That is, his grandmother's, as appears from 1Ki 15:2, who is called his mother, as David is called Abijam's father, 1Ki 15:3.

Wesley: 1Ki 15:10 - And his grand

mother's name may be here mentioned, rather than his mother's, because his mother was either an obscure person, or was dead, or unwilling to take care of the education of her son, and so he was educated by the grand - mother, who, though she poisoned his father Abijam with her idolatrous principles, 1Ki 15:12, yet could not infect Asa, nor withhold him from prosecuting his good purposes of reforming religion.

JFB: 1Ki 15:10-13 - his mother's name was Maachah

She was properly his grandmother, and she is here called "the king's mother," from the post of dignity which at the beginning of his reign she possessed. Asa, as a constitutional monarch, acted like the pious David, laboring to abolish the traces and polluting practices of idolatry, and in pursuance of his impartial conduct, he did not spare delinquents even of the highest rank.

Clarke: 1Ki 15:10 - His mother’ s name

His mother’ s name - Our translators thought that grandmother was likely to be the meaning, and therefore have put it in the margin

Clarke: 1Ki 15:10 - The daughter of Abishalom

The daughter of Abishalom - She is called, says Calmet, the daughter of Absalom, according to the custom of the Scriptures, which give the name of daughter indifferently to the niece, the grand-daughter, and great grand-daughter.

TSK: 1Ki 15:10 - mother’ s

am 3049-3090, bc 955-914

mother’ s : that is, grandmother’ s. 1Ki 15:2, 1Ki 15:13; 2Ch 11:20, 2Ch 11:21, 2Ch 13:2

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: 1Ki 15:10

i. e. His grandmother’ s, as appears from 1Ki 15:2 , who is called his mother, as David is called Abijam’ s father, 1Ki 15:3 , and this Asa’ s father, 1Ki 15:11 . And so the names of father, and mother, and sons, and daughters are oft taken, both in sacred and profane authors, for grandparents and grandchildren. And his grandmother’ s name may be here mentioned rather than his mother’ s, because his mother was either an obscure person, or was long since dead, or indisposed or unwilling to take care of the education of her son, and so he was educated by the grandmother, who, though she did poison his father Abijam with her idolatrous principles, 1Ki 15:12 , yet could not infect Asa, nor withhold him from prosecuting his good purposes of reforming religion; which is here remembered to his praise.

Haydock: 1Ki 15:10 - His mother's

His mother's, &c. That is, his grandmother; unless we suppose, which is not improbable, that the Maacha here named is different from the Maacha mentioned [in] ver. 2. (Challoner) ---

She was probably another grand-daughter of David's son, (Calmet) as such are frequently styled simply daughters. So David is called the father of Asa, (ver. 11.; Haydock) though he was really his great-grandfather. (Menochius)

Gill: 1Ki 15:10 - And forty one years reigned he in Jerusalem // and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom

And forty one years reigned he in Jerusalem,.... Being a good king, had the blessing of a long reign, and reached, and even exceeded, the years of the reigns of David and Solomon:

and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom; that is the name of his grandmother, see 1Ki 15:2 she is called his mother, not because she brought him forth, but because she brought him up; and this is observed to his commendation, that though he was educated by an idolatrous woman, yet was not corrupted by her as his father was.
