Mother's — That is, his grandmother's, as appears from 1 Kings 15:2, who is called his mother, as David is called Abijam's father, 1 Kings 15:3. And his grand — mother'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 grand — mother, 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.
