2 Chronicles 15:19 and 2 Chronicles 16:1 original	 	  	        d. Queen Removed - 1 Kings 15:13, 	
manuscripts all say 35 and 36 years as the text indicates	 	  	            2 Chronicles 15:16 	
This of course is accepted, but poses a bit of difficulty as 	  	  	
Baasha began his reign in the 3rd year of Asa and 	  	  	
reigned 24 years which would take him up to Asa’s 26th 	  	  	
year. Asa’s reign begins when he is about 16 years old in 	  	  	
926 B.C. His grandfather, Rehoboam was born in 986	 	  	  	
B.C. putting Asa’s birth around 942 B.C.  One could 	  	  	
conjecture that Asa began a co-regency 10 years earlier	 	  	  	
than the start of his reign, around 936 B.C. He would 	  	  	
only be about 6 years old, but when one considers that 	  	  	
Joash and Joiash began their reigns at age 7 and 8, 	  	  	
this possibility is apparent.
