Rehoboam, Abijah, and Asa are mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3.10. Although “Asaph” is the earliest form of the text, the name Asa apparently is used in most translations. The name Asaph occurs in the headings of some Hebrew psalms, while Amos is the name of the prophet. For further comment on the textual problem, see verse 10.
