Footnotes
The name *Mikayahu* (מִיכָיָהוּ), meaning "Who is like YHWH?", appears here in Chronicles, whereas 1 Kings 15:2 gives the queen mother's name as Maacah, daughter of Abishalom — a notable discrepancy in the parallel accounts. Whether these represent variant names for the same woman, a scribal divergence, or two distinct traditions drawn from different archives remains debated. The Chronicler consistently draws on sources independent of Kings, including prophetic records. FOG retains the Hebraic form *Mikayahu*; FOG Message follows the Chronicles text in the conventionally rendered "Micaiah."
