| 14:1 | Quiet - There was no open war, but there were private hostilities between his and Baasha's subjects. |
| 14:6 | The land had rest - Those have rest indeed, to whom God gives rest; peace indeed, to whom Christ gives peace. We find by experience, it is good to seek the Lord. While we pursue the world, we meet with nothing but vexation. |

| 14:9 | Ethiopian - Or, the Arabian, as the Hebrew word Cush is commonly used: these being much nearer to Asa than the Ethiopians. |

| 14:14 | Smote the cities - because they had joined, with Zerah in this war. |
