2 CHRON. XVI. vers. 7. to vers. 11.

[Asa 18] [Baasha 16] [Division 37] ASA upon this reliance up∣on [Asa 19] [Baasha 17] [Division 38] Syria declineth excee-dingly [Asa 20] [Baasha 18] [Division 39] from his former goodness; [Asa 21] [Baasha 19] [Division 40] for he grows not only harsh to [Asa 22] [Baasha 20] [Division 41] the Prophet Hanani that repro∣ved [Asa 23] [Baasha 21] [Division 42] him, but he also began to [Asa 24] [Baasha 22] [Division 43] use harshness, and to tyrannize [Asa 25] [Baasha 23] [Division 44] over his Subjects; and for this his alteration he is in continual [Baasha 24] wars and troubles.

[World 3074] [Asa 26] [Elah 1] [Division 45] Asa seeth an end of his great Enemy.

[World 3075] [Asa 27] [Elah 2] [Omri 1] [Division 46] Baasha, and the ruine of that family, as he had seen the ruine of the family of Jeroboam.

1 KINGS XVI. vers. 1. to vers. 23.

[Asa 18] [Baasha 16] [Division 37] AS Hanani the Seer repro∣ved [Asa 19] [Baasha 17] [Division 38] Asa for his reliance [Asa 20] [Baasha 18] [Division 39] upon Syria, so Jehu the son of [Asa 21] [Baasha 19] [Division 40] Hanani reproveth Baasha for his [Asa 22] [Baasha 20] [Division 41] Idolatry, and threatneth destru∣ction [Asa 23] [Baasha 21] [Division 42] to him and to his family, [Asa 24] [Baasha 22] [Division 43] and the same fate is denounced [Asa 25] [Baasha 23] [Division 44] to his house that had befallen the [Baasha 24] house of Jeroboam.

[World 3074] [Asa 26] [Elah 1] [Division 45] ELAH reigneth in the of Asa, 1 King. 16. 8.

[World 3075] [Asa 27] [Elah 2] [Omri 1] [Division 46] OMRI reigneth, ha∣ving slaign Zimri, who had slain Elah. This is a year of great turbulency in the State of Israel. Elah a drunkard of Ephraim is slain by Zimri; and Baasha's house is utterly de∣stroyed with him: Zimri reigneth at Tirzah, but Omri is made King in the Camp at Gibbethon. In that very place had Baasha gotten the Kingdom by the slaughter of Nadah five and twenty years ago, 1 King. 15. 27. a siege being there then as it is now. Omri besiegeth Zimri in Tir∣zah, and Zimri destroyeth himself and the Kings Pallace together. Then there is another competition and war betwixt Omri and Tibni, which con∣tinueth till the thirty first year of Asa, 1 King. 16. 23. And then Tibni is overthrown, and Omri becometh sole and intire King. Howbeit in the ac∣count that the Scripture giveth of Omri's raign, saying, That he raigned twelve years. The beginning of these years is to be taken from the death of Zimri, which was in the seven and twentieth of Asa, 1 King. 16. 15. There∣fore whereas it is said in vers. 23. That in the one and thirtieth year of Asa King of Judah, began Omri to raign over Israel twelve years; it is to be un∣derstood, that his whole raign from the death of Zimri was twelve years, which expired in the eight and thirtieth of Asa, ver. 29. but that the first year of his sole and single Government, was Asa's thirty first.
