23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his gevurah, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yehudah? Nevertheless in the time of his ziknah (old age) he was diseased in his raglayim.

Melachim Alef 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 ) .

Melachim Alef 15:23 In-Context

21 And it came to pass, when Ba’asha heard this, he stopped building Ramah, and stayed in Tirtzah.

22 Then HaMelech Asa made a proclamation throughout all Yehudah; none was exempted; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Ba’asha had built; and HaMelech Asa built up with them Geva of Binyamin, and Mitzpah.

23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his gevurah, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yehudah? Nevertheless in the time of his ziknah (old age) he was diseased in his raglayim.

24 And Asa slept with his avot, and was buried with his avot in Ir Dovid Aviv; and Yehoshaphat Bno reigned in his place.

25 And Nadav Ben Yarov‘am began to reign as Melech over Yisroel in the second year of Asa Melech Yehudah, and reigned over Yisroel two years.
