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 Ch 15:19; 16:1, in the thirty-sixth year of Asa; but according to ch. 16:8, 9, 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 Kings 15:16• 16And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. (1 Kings 15:16)
• (1 Kings 15:16), and 1 Kings 15:32 repeats the very same thing. This is one of the principal symptoms of decline. War is declared, implacable war between people of the same race. Rehoboam had been at the point of attempting war, but, warned by the Lord, he had desisted. Next the kings of Israel are authors of warfare, for they feel their position jeopardized by the maintenance of God’s testimony in Judah. A nation which has turned idolatrous after having known the true God cannot endure God’s testimony so near by. It hates this and wages desperate warfare against it. (“Nadab and Baasha, Kings of Israel and Abijam and Asa, Kings of Judah: 1 Kings 15” by H.L. Rossier)
