பற்றி · About
Maacah, also referred to as Micaiah, was the daughter of Abishalom (likely Absalom, the son of David) and the wife of King Rehoboam of Judah (1Ki.15.2; 2Ch.11.20-21). She was the mother of Abijah, who succeeded Rehoboam as king (1Ki.15.2; 2Ch.11.22; 13.2). Maacah held the influential position of queen mother during the reigns of Rehoboam and Abijah. However, she was removed from this role by her grandson, King Asa, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah (1Ki.15.13; 2Ch.15.16). Maacah's story illustrates the political significance of the queen mother in the Judean monarchy and the religious reforms undertaken by King Asa to purge idolatry from the land.
