"And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Abijah stood upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in Mount Ephraim,.... Which might have its name from a city of Benjamin of this name, to which it was near, though
within the borders of Ephraim, Jos 18:22 formerly inhabited by the Zemarites, from whence it might have its name, Gen 10:18 here Abijah stood, that he might be the better heard by the armies pitched in the valley; and very probably he desired a parley, and it was granted, otherwise he would not have been safe in the position in which he was: and said, hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; as many as were now gathered together, and which were a great number.
