And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines, etc] Who is called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, (<141302>2 Chronicles 13:2), for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines; led thereunto by the example of his father Solomon, contrary to the command of God, (<051717>Deuteronomy 17:17) and begat twenty eight sons and sixty daughters; to have many children was reckoned a great blessing, but it was not honourable to have them in such a way.
