In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah,.... How this is to be reconciled with the reign of Baasha, which was but twenty four years, and was begun in the third of Asa, and therefore must have been dead nearly ten years before this year of Asa's reign, :- where, and in the following verses, are the same things related as here, to the end of the sixth verse; the explanation of which the reader is referred to.
