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 Chroniques 15:19
Il n'y eut point de guerre jusqu'à la trente-cinquième année du règne d'Asa.

2 Chroniques 16:1
La trente-sixième année du règne d'Asa, Baescha, roi d'Israël, monta contre Juda; et il bâtit Rama, pour empêcher ceux d'Asa, roi de Juda, de sortir et d'entrer.

, in the {thirty-sixth} year of Asa; but according to

1 Rois 16:8,9
La vingt-sixième année d'Asa, roi de Juda, Ela, fils de Baescha, régna sur Israël à Thirtsa. Il régna deux ans.…

, 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 endeavour 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.

1 Rois 15:16
Il y eut guerre entre Asa et Baescha, roi d'Israël, pendant toute leur vie.
