In the third year of Asa: how this agrees with 2Ch 16:1, see in the notes there.

Did Baasha slay him; which he did, not to fulfil Gods threatening, but only to advance himself; and therefore this is called murder, 1Ki 16:7.

1Ki 15:28. Even in the third year of Asa did Baasha slay him It was threatened, (1Ki 14:15,) that Israel should be as a reed shaken in the water. And so they were, when, during the single reign of Asa, their government was in seven or eight different hands. Jeroboam was upon the throne at the beginning of his reign, and Ahab at the end of it; between whom were Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Tibni, and Omri, undermining and destroying one another. This they got by deserting the house both of God and of David.
