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 Baasha heard about it. So he stopped building up Ramah. He went back home to Tirzah.

22 Then King Asa gave an order to all of the men of Judah. Everyone was required to help. They carried away from Ramah the stones and wood Baasha had been using there. King Asa used them to build up Geba in the territory of Benjamin. He also used them to build up Mizpah.

23 All of the other events of Asa's rule are written down. Everything he accomplished is written down. Everything he did and the cities he built are written down. They are written in the official records of the kings of Judah. But when Asa became old, his feet began to give him trouble.

24 He joined the members of his family who had already died. His body was buried in his family tomb. It was in the city of King David. Asa's son Jehoshaphat became the next king after him.

25 Nadab became king of Israel. It was in the second year that Asa was king of Judah. Nadab ruled over Israel for two years. He was the son of Jeroboam.
