VERSE 6 
 - there was war.
  Instead of Rehoboam fourteen MSS., the Arabic, and some copies
  of the Targum, read Abijam.  The Syriac has "Abia, the son of
  Rehoboam;" and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate has Abia.
  This is doubtless the true reading, as otherwise it would be
  an unnecessary repetition of ch. 30 14:30, and a repetition which
  interrupts the history of Abijah:  (see 2 Ch 3 13:3, etc.)

VERSE 17 
 - A.M. 3074.  B.C. 930.  Baasha.
   * :27 2Ch 16:1-6
- Ramah.
  By building Ramah is here meant fortifying it, in order to
  prevent all intercourse with the kingdom of Judah, lest his
  subjects should cleave to the house of David:  for Ramah was a
  city of Benjamin, situated on the confines of both kingdoms,
  probably on a hill, as the name imports, commanding a narrow
  defile between the mountains, through which lay the principal
  road to Jerusalem; so that a fortification being erected here,
  no communication could be held between the people of Israel
  and Judah, without Baasha's permission.

   * 1Ki 14:19; 16:5,14,20,27


VERSE 32 
 - A.M. 3051-3074.  B.C. 953-930.  there was war.
  That is, there was a constant spirit of hostility kept up
  between the two kingdoms, and no doubt frequent skirmishing
  between the bordering parties; but there was no open war till
  Baasha king of Israel began to build Ramah, which was,
  according to 2 Ch 19 15:19; 1 16:1, in the thirty-sixth year of
  Asa; but according to ch. 8 16:8, 9, his son was killed by Zimri
  in the twenty-sixth year of Asa, and consequently he could not
  make war upon him in the thirty-sixth year of his reign.
  Chronologers endeavor to reconcile this, by saying that the
  years should be reckoned, not from the beginning of Asa's
  reign, but from the separation of the kingdoms of Israel and
  Judah.  We must either adopt this mode of solution, or admit
  that there is a mistake in some of the numbers, probably in
  the parallel places in Chronicles, but which we have no direct
  means of correcting.  See on ver.
