2 Chronicles 15:19
The five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa - This cannot be reconciled with the chronqlogy of Kings I Kings 16:8 : and the suggestion in the marg. implies the adoption of a mode of marking time unknown either to himself or any other Scriptural writer. It is supposed that the figures here and in II Chronicles 16:1 are corrupt, and that in both verses "twentieth" should replace "thirtieth." The attack of Baasha would then have been made in the last year of Asa' s reign; and ten years of peace would have followed Asa' s victory over Zerah.
