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. 15:16Reciprocal2 Samuel 3:1 - long war; 2 Chronicles 16:9 - henceforth Verse 33twenty and four years1 Kings 16:8Reciprocal14:17 - Tirzah; 16:1 - Hanani; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 2 Chronicles 15:19 - five and thirtieth; Song of Songs 6:4 - as Tirzah Verse 34he did evil1 Kings 15:26 walked15:26, 12:28, 12:29, 13:33, 13:34, 14:16; Isaiah 1:4ReciprocalDeuteronomy 12:13 - General; 1 Kings 14:9 - hast done; 16:2 - thou hast walked; 16:19 - in his; 21:22 - made Israel to sin; 22:52 - and in the way; 2 Kings 3:3 - which made Verse 1 amJehu1 Kings 16:7; 2 Chronicles 19:2, 20:34 Hanani1 Kings 15:33; 2 Chronicles 16:7-10Reciprocal1 Kings 16:12 - according; Jeremiah 32:18 - recompensest Verse 2I exalted thee1 Kings 14:7; 1 Samuel 2:8, 2:27, 2:28, 15:17-19; 2 Samuel 12:7-11; Psalm 113:7, 113:8; Luke 1:52 thou hast walked1 Kings 13:33, 13:34, 15:34 hast made my people14:16, 15:26; Exodus 32:21; 1 Samuel 2:24, 26:19; Matthew 5:19Reciprocal1 Kings 16:7 - the hand; 16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 9:6 - over the people Verse 3will make thy house1 Kings 16:11, 16:12, 14:10, 15:29, 15:30, 21:21-24; Isaiah 66:24; Jeremiah 22:19ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:59 - General; 1 Kings 11:26 - Jeroboam; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; Job 27:15 - Those Verse 4shall the dogs eat1 Kings 14:11ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:59 - General; 1 Kings 21:24 - that dieth; Job 27:15 - Those; Isaiah 5:25 - torn; Jeremiah 34:20 - and their Verse 5 amthe rest1 Kings 14:19, 15:31; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6Reciprocal1 Kings 16:14 - they not written; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest; 22:39 - the rest Verse 6 amBaasha1 Kings 14:20, 15:25 Tirzah14:17, 15:21 Elah16:8, 16:13, 16:14Reciprocal11:43 - slept; 16:28 - So Omri slept; Psalm 49:19 - to the generation Verse 7the hand1 Kings 16:1, 16:2 and against his houseExodus 20:5 in provoking1 Kings 16:13 with the workPsalm 115:4; Isaiah 2:8, 44:9-20 because he killed himThis the Vulgate understands of Jehu the prophet; some think Baasha is intended; others Nadab the son of Jeroboam; and others Jeroboam, whom Baasha destroyed in his posterity by cruelly murdering them all. 1 Kings 14:14, 15:27-29; 2 Kings 10:30, 10:31; Isaiah 10:6, 10:7; Hosea 1:4; Acts 2:23, 4:27, 4:28ReciprocalGenesis 4:15 - Therefore; 1 Kings 15:26 - he did evil; 16:12 - by Jehu the prophet; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - he walked; 20:16 - Benhadad; 22:53 - provoked; 2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu; 20:34 - Jehu the son of Hanani; Jeremiah 37:2 - the prophet Verse 8 amIn the twentyBaasha began to reign in the third year of Asa, and reigned 24 years; yet he died and was succeeded by Elah in the 26th year of Asa; and, in like manner, Elah, who began to reign in the 26th year of Asa, and was killed in the 27th, is said to have reigned two years. Thus it is evident that a part of a year is calculated as a whole year. In the Chinese annals, the whole year in which a king dies is ascribed to his reign, the years of the succeeding king being reckoned only from the beginning of the following year. 1 Kings 16:8Reciprocal14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 15:33 - twenty and four years; 16:6 - Elah; 16:15 - seven; 16:21 - divided; 16:23 - twelve years; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 15:23 - and reigned two years; 21:19 - two years; Proverbs 28:2 - the transgression Verse 9his servant2 Kings 9:31 conspired1 Kings 15:27; 2 Kings 9:14, 12:20, 15:10, 15:25, 15:30 drinking1 Kings 20:16; 1 Samuel 25:36-38; 2 Samuel 13:28, 13:29; Proverbs 23:29-35; Jeremiah 51:57; Daniel 5:1-4, 5:30; Nahum 1:10; Habakkuk 2:15, 2:16; Matthew 24:49-51; Luke 21:34 steward ofHeb. which was over, Genesis 15:2, 24:2, 24:10, 39:4, 39:9Reciprocal2 Samuel 4:5 - lay on a bed; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 20:12 - drinking; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 21:23 - General; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Esther 2:21 - and sought; Proverbs 23:34 - thou; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 10Zimri2 Kings 9:31 reigned1 Kings 16:15Reciprocal16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 15:10 - slew him; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Jeremiah 41:7 - slew; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 11he slew1 Kings 15:29; Judges 1:7 he left him1 Kings 14:10; 1 Samuel 25:22, 25:34 neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friendsor, both his kinsmen and his friendsReciprocal1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 10:11 - he left Verse 12according1 Kings 16:1-4 by Jehu the prophetHeb. by the hand of Jehu the prophet, 16:1, 16:7, 14:18; 2 Kings 14:25; 2 Chronicles 10:15; Proverbs 26:6Reciprocal1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 17:16 - by Elijah; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu Verse 13in provoking1 Kings 15:30 vanitiesDeuteronomy 32:21; 1 Samuel 12:21; 2 Kings 17:15; Isaiah 41:29; Jeremiah 10:3-5, 10:8, 10:15; Jonah 2:8; Romans 1:21-23; 1 Corinthians 8:4, 10:19, 10:20Reciprocal1 Kings 16:6 - Elah; 16:7 - in provoking; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - their vanities; Acts 14:15 - from Verse 14they not written1 Kings 16:5Reciprocal14:19 - book; 15:31 - are they not written; 16:6 - Elah; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest Verse 15seven1 Kings 16:8; 2 Kings 9:31; Job 20:5; Psalm 37:35 And the people were encamped1 Kings 15:27; Joshua 19:44, 21:23Reciprocal1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:21 - Tirzah; 16:10 - reigned; 16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 15:13 - a full month; 15:14 - Tirzah; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 16Omri1 Kings 16:30; 2 Kings 8:26; 2 Chronicles 22:2; Micah 6:16Reciprocal2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 17besieged TirzahJudges 9:45, 9:50, 9:56, 9:57; 2 Kings 6:24, 6:25, 18:9-12, 25:1-4; Luke 19:43, 19:44Reciprocal1 Kings 15:27 - Gibbethon; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah Verse 18and burnt the king's houseJudges 9:54; 1 Samuel 31:4, 31:5; 2 Samuel 17:23; Job 2:9, 2:10; Matthew 27:5Reciprocal2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 10:4 - Saul took; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Acts 16:27 - he drew Verse 19in doing1 Kings 16:7, 16:13, 15:30; Psalm 9:16, 58:9-11 in his1 Kings 12:28, 14:16, 15:26, 15:34Reciprocal16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 3:2 - General; 21:11 - made Judah; Jeremiah 32:35 - to cause Verse 20the rest1 Kings 16:5, 16:14, 16:27, 14:19, 15:31, 22:39Reciprocal1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 21divided1 Kings 16:8, 16:29, 15:25, 15:28; Proverbs 28:2; Isaiah 9:18-21, 19:2; Matthew 12:25; 1 Corinthians 1:12, 1:13; Ephesians 4:3-5

Verse 22ReciprocalHosea 7:7 - devoured Verse 23 amthe thirtyAs it is stated in 1 Kings 16:10 and 16:15, that Zimri began to reign in the 27th year of Asa; and as he reigned only seven days, and Omri immediately succeeded him, this could not be the 31st, but in the 27th year of Asa. Jarchi, from Sedar Olam, reconciles this, by stating that Tibni and Omri began to reign jointly in the 27th year of Asa; and that Tibni dying about five years afterwards, Omri began to reign alone in the 31st year of Asa. 2 Chronicles 22:2 twelve years1 Kings 16:8, 16:29ReciprocalJoshua 12:24 - Tirzah; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah Verse 24the name of the city1 Kings 13:32, 18:2, 20:1, 22:37; 2 Kings 17:1, 17:6, 17:24; John 4:4, 4:5; Acts 8:5-8 SamariaHeb.

Many learned men have raised doubts on those parts of the Inspired Word, which may, by the perverseness of their argument and the ingenuity of their surmise, be made to appear inconsistent with fact. In this case, they are not satisfied with being expressly told by God that the ravens supplied Elijah with food, while the brook gave him drink, but apparently to mystify a manifest miracle, they suggest whether these ravens might not be merchantmen, or the inhabitants of a neighbouring town. Let any unprejudiced reader and lover of the Bible take the whole history of Elijah, and he will find that his life was almost a daily illustration of the power of God in his miraculous interpositions. Instance the supply of provision in the unwasting barrel of meal and cruse of oil, after the prophet had removed to Zarephath: the power communicated to him to raise the widow's son from death: the wonderful interposition of the Lord to prove the folly of Baal's worshippers, in sending down fire from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice and lick up the water, although the sacrifice had been saturated therewith, and the altar surrounded by a deep trench to prevent its running away. The prayer for rain is another instance: the sojourn in Horeb forty days and forty nights, after having eaten of the cake: the destruction of Ahaziah's messengers twice: the smiting of the waters at Jordan: the fall of the mantle on Elisha, and finally, in the closing scene of life, he was taken to glory without tasting the pains of death, the sting was taken away.ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:16 - in the field; 1 Kings 18:10 - they found thee not Verse 6the ravensExodus 16:35; Numbers 11:23; Judges 14:14, 15:18, 15:19; Psalm 34:9, 34:10, 37:3, 37:19; 78:15, 78:16, 78:23, 78:24; Isaiah 33:16; Jeremiah 37:21, 40:4; Habakkuk 3:17, 3:18; Matthew 6:31-33, 14:19-21, 19:26; Luke 22:35; Habakkuk 3:1, 3:1, 3:1ReciprocalGenesis 8:7 - a raven; Exodus 2:5 - when she; Leviticus 11:15 - General; 1 Kings 13:28 - the lion had; 19:6 - cake; Job 5:20 - famine; Revelation 12:16 - General Verse 7 amafter a whileHeb. at the end of daysthe brookIsaiah 40:30, 40:31, 54:10ReciprocalGenesis 4:3 - in process of time; 1 Kings 18:1 - in the third year; 2 Chronicles 18:2 - after certain years; Jeremiah 14:3 - pits; Joel 1:20 - the rivers Verse 8the word1 Kings 17:2; Genesis 22:14; Isaiah 41:17; Habakkuk 3:1

one of its principal points advancing considerably into the Mediterranean, and forming an elevated promontory. It is described as a flattened cone, about 2,000 feet (some say 1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and the soil neither deep nor rich. Capt. Mangles says its is now quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are some pretty olive-grounds. 1 Kings 18:42, 18:43; Joshua 19:26; 1 Samuel 15:12; 2 Kings 2:25; Jeremiah 46:18; Amos 1:2, 9:3 the prophets of Baal1 Kings 22:6; 2 Peter 2:1; Revelation 19:20 prophets of the groves1 Kings 15:13, 16:33; 2 Kings 13:6

Mr. Bruce mentions a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of the Nile. "Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel."
