SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:1
¶ En el año treinta y seis del reino de Asa, subió Baasa rey de Israel contra Judá; y edificó a Rama, para no dejar salir ni entrar a ninguno al rey Asa, rey de Judá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 16:1
Verse 1. The six and thirtieth year] After the division of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah; according to Usher. This opinion is followed in our margin; see the note on 1 Kings xv. 16, where this subject is farther considered. Concerning Baasha's building of Ramah, see the note on 1 Kings xv. 17.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah , etc.] 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, (see Gill on “ 1 Kings 15:17”) 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Asa seeks the aid of the Syrians, His death.
--A plain and faithful reproof was given to Asa by a prophet of the Lord, for making a league with Syria. God is displeased when he is distrusted, and when an arm of flesh is relied on, more than his powe and goodness. It is foolish to lean on a broken reed, when we have the Rock of ages to rely upon. To convince Asa of his folly, the prophe shows that he, of all men, had no reason to distrust God, who had foun him such a powerful Helper. The many experiences we have had of the goodness of God to us, aggravate our distrust of him. But see ho deceitful our hearts are! we trust in God when we have nothing else to trust to, when need drives us to him; but when we have other things to stay on, we are apt to depend too much on them. Observe Asa' displeasure at this reproof. What is man, when God leaves him to himself! He that abused his power for persecuting God's prophet, wa left to himself, to abuse it further for crushing his own subjects. Tw years before he died, Asa was diseased in his feet. Making use of physicians was his duty; but trusting to them, and expecting that from them which was to be had from God only, were his sin and folly. In all conflicts and sufferings we need especially to look to our own hearts that they may be perfect towards God, by faith, patience, an obedience __________________________________________________________________
