This is the inspired description of the reign of Abijam, son of Rehoboam (and grandson of Solomon). As a matter of fact, he walked in all of the sins of his father. The sad fact is that there are many people who walk in sins because they learn sin from their fathers. This pattern is reproduced all through the Old Testament, with occasional exceptions. Happily, one of the exceptions was this man’s son, Asa, who reigned faithfully for 41 years! Let us pray that children who grow up with evil parents (such as Asa) will learn the ways of the Lord from someone who knows the truth.
