Who was King Abijah's mother?
2 Chronicles 11:20 and 2 Chronicles 13:2

 

  1. Maacah (2 Chronicles 11:20) - "And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith."
  2. Micaiah (2 Chronicles 13:2) - "He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam."

     This is a very simple answer.  Maacah was simply another spelling for Micaiah.  They are one and the same.
