six and thirty] It is clear that this well may, and needs must, be understood likewise of that Kingdome wherein Asa was now King. For Baasha began to reigne in the third year of Asa, 1 King. XV. 28. And reigning twenty four years, ver. 33. he must needs die in the twenty seventh of Asa, or twenty six complete: And so we finde it, 1 King. XVI. 8 And therefore this thirty sixth wherein Baasha waged warre with Asa, must needs be meant of the Kingdome of Judah, that is, since the first division of the two Kingdomes. And so reckoning the seventeen years of Rehoboams reigne, and three of Abijah, we finde this thirty sixth to be the sixteenth of Asa, the next year after that full Reformation mentioned, 2 Chron. XV. 10. And to be the thirteenth year of the reigne of Baasha. See a like passage, 2 Chron. XXII. 2. Ramah] Ramah of Benjamin, bordering upon Judah, Josh. XVIII. 25. See the Annotations on Hos. V. 8.
