Succession
A more complete biography than that of the Hebrew Bible of Abijah was written by Iddo the Seer. A reference to the account is made in 2 Chronicles 13:22, but the work itself has been lost.
Abijah was buried beside his ancestors in Jerusalem. He was succeeded by his son, Asa.

“A mother’s life, you see, is one long succession of dramas, now soft and tender, now terrible. Not an hour but has its joys and fears.”
