19<\/strong>. there was no<\/em> more war<\/em> ] This statement can be reconciled with 1Ki 15:16<\/span>; 1Ki 15:32<\/span> only by interpreting it broadly to mean that nothing serious occurred until the war with Baasha had been going on for several years.<\/p>\n The five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa – <\/B>This cannot be reconciled with the chronqlogy of Kings 1Ki 16:8<\/span> : and the suggestion in the marg. implies the adoption of a mode of marking time unknown either to himself or any other Scriptural writer. It is supposed that the figures here and in 2Ch 16:1<\/span> are corrupt, and that in both verses twentieth should replace thirtieth. The attack of Baasha would then have been made in the last year of Asas reign; and ten years of peace would have followed Asas victory over Zerah.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 19<\/span>. The five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa<\/B><\/I>] Archbishop Usher thinks that this should be counted from the separation<\/I> of the kingdom, and that this fell on the fifteenth<\/I> year of Asa’s reign. To settle in every respect these chronologies is a most difficult undertaking; and the difficulty does not belong to the sacred books<\/I> alone, all other chronological tables of all<\/I> the nations in the world, are in the same predicament. With those of our own history I have often been puzzled, even while I had access to all the archives of the nation. Probably we should read here the five and twentieth year<\/I>. See the margin, and 1Kg 15:16<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n For though there were continual skirmishes between Asa and Baasha and their people all their days<\/I>, 1Ki 15:16<\/span>, yet it did not break forth into an open war till Asas thirty-fifth year, i.e. till that was ended. But how this thirty-fifth year is to be computed, See Poole “2Ch 16:1<\/span>“. <\/P> <\/p>\n And there was no more war unto the thirty fifth year of the reign of Asa.<\/strong> That is, from the Ethiopian war to that time; after that there was no war with any foreign enemy; there were animosities and discords, bickerings and hostilities of some sort continually between Asa and Baasha king of Israel, as long as he lived, see 1Ki 15:16<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2Ch 15:19<\/span> is different from 1Ki 15:16<\/span>. In the latter passage it is said: war was between Asa and Baasha the king of Israel , i.e., so long as both reigned contemporaneously; while in the Chronicle it is said: war was not until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign. This discrepancy is partly got rid of by taking in the book of Kings to denote the latent hostility or inimical attitude of the two kingdoms towards each other, and in the Chronicle to denote a war openly declared. The date, until the thirty-fifth year, causes a greater difficulty; but this has been explained in 2Ch 16:1<\/span> by the supposition that in the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign war broke out between Asa and Baasha, when the meaning of our 16th verse would be: It did not come to war with Baasha until the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s rule. For further remarks on this, see on 2Ch 16:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n (19) And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.<\/strong>Literally, and war arose not until,<\/em> etc. This statement appears to refer back to 2Ch. 15:15<\/span> : And the Lord gave them rest round about; and so to assign the limit of that period of peace, which ensued after the defeat of Zeran.<\/p>\n In 1Ki. 15:16<\/span> we find a different statement: And war continued between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days, a statement which is repeated in 1Ki. 15:32<\/span> of the same chapter.<\/p>\n The chronicler has evidently modified the older text, in order to assign a precise date to the outbreak of active hostilities between the two monarchs. (Both 1Ki. 15:16<\/span> and the present 2Ch. 15:19<\/span> begin with the same two Hebrew words, meaning and war was, but the chronicler inserts a not<\/em>).<\/em><\/p>\n The verse of Kings need not imply more than that no amicable relations were ever established between the two sovereigns. They had inherited a state of war, although neither was in a condition to make an open attack upon the other for some years.<\/p>\n The five and thirtieth year of the reign<\/strong> of Asa.<\/strong>This limit does not agree with the data of Kings (seo on 2Ch. 16:1<\/span>). Thenius suggests that the letter l,<\/em> denoting 30, got into the text originally, through some transcriber, who inadvertently wrote the l<\/em> with which the next Hebrew word begins twice over. Later on, some other copyist naturally corrected 2Ch. 16:1<\/span>, to agree with this. Assuming thus that the right readings here were originally the fifth<\/em> and sixth<\/em> years of the reign of Asa, Thenius concludes that in 2Ch. 16:1<\/span> the letter v <\/em>(i.e.,<\/em> 6) has been shortened into y<\/em> (10); and that Baashas attempt preceded the invasion of Zerah. The false dates probably existed already in the source which the chronicler followed.<\/p>\n 19<\/strong>. <\/strong> No more war unto the five and thirtieth year of Asa <\/strong> This date, and also that of the next verse, (2Ch 16:1<\/span>,) is undoubtedly erroneous, for in the twenty-sixth year of Asa Baasha was dead, and his son Elah began to reign. 1Ki 16:8<\/span>. We think, with Rawlinson, that the simplest emendation is to substitute twentieth <\/em> for thirtieth <\/em> in both verses. Then we may suppose that previous to the war with Zerah Asa had ten years of peace, (2Ch 14:1<\/span>,) and after that war he had peace again until the last year of Baasha’s reign, when the latter undertook the war against Judah mentioned in 2Ch 16:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n How beautiful upon the mountains (saith the prophet) are the feet of them that publish salvation. And a lively token of divine favor, in the person of Azariah, was given here in this embassy from God to his people. And was not the purport of his visit to the same effect? Did he not hold forth the presence, the favor, the love, the assurance of protection to the people, while adhering to their covenant engagements? And what were these things but shadows and types of Jesus?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n And what is it now? Ambassadors are sent by the Lord Jesus to propose and negotiate with poor sinful men, an embasage of mercy, favor, and peace. On Jesus, our fullness, our security, our very being and safety depend. And if, while these glorious tidings of God’s good-will to men are held forth to us like Asa and the people, our very souls go forth in praise, and love with thanksgiving, for the unspeakable gift of God in his dear Son: oh! how certain is it, that the Lord will give us rest on every side from all our enemies. The Lord will fight our battles for us, and we shall hold our peace, When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.<\/p>\n 2Ch 15:19 And there was no [more] war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.<\/p>\n Ver. 19.
