A Noted Textual Puzzle
Scholars note a significant chronological problem in this verse. The mention of the 'thirty-fifth year' of Asa's reign conflicts with the timeline in 1 Kings, where King Baasha of Israel (who instigates the next war) would have already died. The most common explanation is that the number is a scribal error from ancient copying, with the original number likely being much smaller.
