His mother's name That is, his grandmother's, as appears from 1 Kings 15:2. She is called his mother in the same sense in which David is called Abijam's father, 1 Kings 15:3; that is, his progenitor. And his grandmother's name may be here mentioned, rather than his mother's, because his mother was either an obscure person, or was dead, or unwilling to take care of the education of her son, and so he was educated by the grandmother, who, though she poisoned his father Abijam with her idolatrous principles, (1 Kings 15:12,) yet could not infect Asa, nor withhold him from prosecuting his good purposes of reforming religion. Asa did that which was right As to the government of his kingdom, and the reformation and establishment of God's worship; in the eyes of the Lord That is right indeed which is so in God's eyes. Those are approved whom he commendeth. As did David his father Whom he made his pattern; worshipping the Lord alone, and taking away all idols, as it here follows.
