there was war. That is, there was a constant spirit of hostility kept up between the two kingdoms, and no doubt frequent skirmishing between the bordering parties; but there was no open war till Baasha king of Israel began to build Ramah, which was, according to

2 Krønikebok 15:19
Og det var ingen krig før i det fem og trettiende år av Asas regjering.

2 Krønikebok 16:1
I det seks og trettiende år av Asas regjering drog Israels konge Baesa op mot Juda og bygget festningsverker i Rama for å hindre enhver fra å dra fra eller til Judas konge Asa.

, in the {thirty-sixth} year of Asa; but according to

1 Kongebok 16:8,9
I Judas konge Asas seks og tyvende år blev Ela, Baesas sønn, konge over Israel i Tirsa, og han var konge i to år. …

, his son was killed by Zimri in the {twenty-sixth year} of Asa, and consequently he could not make war upon him in the {thirty-sixth} year of his reign. Chronologers endeavour to reconcile this, by saying that the years should be reckoned, not from the beginning of Asa's reign, but from the separation of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. We must either adopt this mode of solution, or admit that there is a mistake in some of the numbers, probably in the parallel places in Chronicles, but which we have no direct means of correcting.

1 Kongebok 15:16
Mellem Asa og Baesa, Israels konge, var det krig så lenge de levde.
