*  The  dates  35  and  36  given  in  these  verses  in  the  Hebrew  text  were  explained  by  the  older
commentators  as  reckoned  from  the  commencement  of  the  kingdom  of  Judah.  The  numbers  are
then  correct.  Modern  interpreters  generally  regard  the  Hebrew  text  as  corrupt,  and  read  15  or  25
and  16  or  26  for  35  and  36  respectively.  They  are  doubtless  right  in  doing  so  ;  for  the  text  of  Chron
icles  has  not  been  transmitted  as  carefully  as  it  should  have  been,  and  the  phrase  "year  of  A?a"
or  other  king  always  refers  to  his  regnal  year,  and  Baasha  was  dead  before  the  35th  and  36th  years
of  Asa.
