he brought in the things which his father had dedicated--Probably the spoils which Abijam had taken from the vanquished army of Jeroboam (see Ch2 13:16).
and the things which himself had dedicated--after his own victory over the Cushites (Ch2 14:12). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Abijam's dedications were made after his victory over Jeroboam, and probably consisted of a portion of the spoils which were the fruit of the battle Ch2 13:16-19.
Asa's dedications may have been made from the spoils of Zerah the Ethiopian, who attacked him in his eleventh year (Ch2 14:9, etc.). They were not deposited in the temple until his fifteenth year Ch2 15:10, Ch2 15:18. |

| His father - Abijam, when he was in distress, and going to fight with Jeroboam, Ch2 13:1-3, though afterwards he did not perform his vows, nor bring in what he had devoted; probably he was prevented by death. |
