Meaning: the Lord is my father · Female · 2 cross references
This Abijah entry refers to Abijah, also called Abi, the wife of Ahaz and mother of Hezekiah, not to the priestly course. She stands in the dynastic line that carries Judah from a corrupt king to a reforming son. First appears in 2 Kgs 18:2.1
AI summary: This Abijah matters because the cross references place her at the maternal hinge between Ahaz and Hezekiah. Her presence is brief, but it locates Hezekiah's royal family background within Judah's late monarchy and reminds readers that the rise of a faithful king comes through an actual household line. Taken together, the material presents this Abijah as a queen-mother figure within the genealogy of one of Judah's most important reforming kings.1
