2 Chronicles 15:19

19. No more war unto the five and thirtieth year of… Asa This date, and also that of the next verse, (2 Chronicles 16:1,) is undoubtedly erroneous, for in the twenty-sixth year of Asa Baasha was dead, and his son Elah began to reign. 1 Kings 16:8. We think, with Rawlinson, that the simplest emendation is to substitute twentieth for thirtieth in both verses. Then we may suppose that previous to the war with Zerah Asa had ten years of peace, (2 Chronicles 14:1,) 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 2 Chronicles 16:1.
