Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This passage runs parallel with Kings (see the marginal reference).

subjects from having any intercourse with the Jews, 1.

Asa and his men carry the stones and timbers of Ramah away,

Asa is reproved by Hanani, the seer, for his union with the
king of Syria: he is offended with the seer, and puts him in
prison, 7-10.

He is diseased in his feet, and seeks to physicians and not to
God, and dies, 12, 13.
His sumptuous funeral, 14.
