1 Kings 15:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:23

The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and
all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
&c.] Some of which are to be met with in the canonical book of that name, ( 2 Chronicles 14:1-16:14 ) , and others in the annals of the kings, out of which the Scripture account was taken:

nevertheless, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;
seized with the gout, as the Jews say ^F1, and which was two years before his death, see ( 2 Chronicles 16:12 2 Chronicles 16:13 ) .

1 Kings 15:23 In-Context

21 As soon as Ba'sha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah and stayed in Tirtzah.

22 King Asa then issued a proclamation requiring every man in Y'hudah, with no exception, to come and carry off the stones and timber Ba'sha had used to fortify Ramah. With them King Asa fortified Geva of Binyamin and Mitzpah.

23 The other activities of Asa, all his power, all his accomplishments and the cities he fortified are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Y'hudah. But in his old age he suffered from a disease in his legs.

24 Asa slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David his ancestor. Then Y'hoshafat his son became king in his place.

25 It was in the second year of Asa king of Y'hudah that Nadav the son of Yarov'am began his reign over Isra'el, and he ruled Isra'el two years.
