* Abijah.
   As the Evangelist Luke mentions the course of Abia, it is
   evident that these courses of the priests, established by
   David, no doubt under Divine direction, were continued, with
   some alterations, till the days of Christ:  these records must
   therefore have been very useful after the Babylonian
   captivity.
