Scripture Discord: Errors, Mistakes & Contradictions in Scripture
1 Kings 15:2 records King Abijam's mother as Maachah the daughter of Abishalom, while 2 Chronicles 13:2 calls her Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Commentators typically resolve this by noting that Maachah and Michaiah are likely spelling variants of the same name, or that one refers to a mother and the other to a grandmother or maternal ancestor.
