Abijah was a much more vigorous ruler than his father, and the power of Egypt, on which Jeroboam relied for support, seems at that time to have decreased.

 Jamaica Gleaner - Abijah's big bang - Friday | June 20, 2003
Abijah is dominated by slow, contemplative songs ­ not that Revelation is a head-banger, but the unreserved dancing and sing-along that it inspires are not replicated on the album.
Abijah opens with the haunting guitar-backed Children of Love and closes with Bound in Zion, which proves that a Nyabinghi chant style song does not have to be the same old same old.
Abijah is also credited with the music on most of the songs, with the best of Jamaica's musicians creating great original rhythms.

There was doubtless a continuation under Abijah of the state of feud that had prevailed from the beginning of the schism; and the tradition of a signal victory gained by Abijah over Jeroboam must have had a well-grounded basis.
Although Abijah took up God's cause against Jeroboam, the idolatrous king of Israel, he was not permitted to enjoy the fruits of his victory over the latter for any considerable time, dying as he did shortly after his campaign (Josephus, "Ant." viii.
The rabbis also point out that it was improper for Abijah to accuse the whole of Israel of idolatry and to proclaim the appointment of Jeroboam as king to have been the work of "vain men, the children of Belial" (II Chron.

 Abijah (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
On Abijah's accession she held at court the influential position of king's mother; and she was so strong that she continued to hold it, when, after a brief reign, Abijah was succeeded by Asa; though it was a position from which Asa had the authority to depose her (1 Kings 15:13; 2 Chronicles 15:16).
Abijah's speech before the battle presents the same view of the religious situation which is presented in Kings and Amos and Hosea, though with fuller priestly details.
The orthodoxy of Abijah on this one occasion is not in conflict with the representation in Kings that he followed mainly the evil ways of his father Rehoboam.

 Commentary on the Whole Bible (iii.xiv.xiv)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Abijah, before he fought them, reasoned with them, to persuade them, though not to return to the house of David (that matter was settled by the divine determination and he acquiesced), yet to desist from fighting against the house of David.
Abijah had got with his army into the heart of their country; for he made this speech upon a hill in Mount Ephraim, where he might be heard by Jeroboam and the principal officers, with whom it is probable he desired to have a treaty, to which they consented.
Perhaps Abijah, when it was in his power to demolish it, suffered it to stand, for his heart was not perfect with God; and, not improving what he had got for the honour of God, he soon lost it all again.

On our next meeting, it became quite evident that Abijah had outgrown his MJ-esque repertoire, and had moved on to another level where the music in his blood had boiled over, and people were taking notice.
Abijah is an artiste best described as a sleeper, no artificial hype, no high-pow­ered backing (not yet anyway).
In a round-about way, (which I was beginning to get used to), Abijah explained that he is not too sure when the transition occurred, but credits the change in his message to his growth as a Christian.

 Abijah
This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's just that he has a baby face and a light, youthful singing voice that resembles a young member of the Marley clan (or perhaps more precisely, the Marley-esque Nasio Fontaine).
Abijah is certainly in touch with his sensitive side, with nary a touch of negativity nor fire and brimstone in any of his lyrics.
I'd compare Abijah's stuff to the some of the softer works of Morgan Heritage and LMS -- which means he can be a bit saccharine and poppy at times -- as on the pop/gospel "Where Is the Love" and "Fall to the Ground".
