Significance: These are parallel accounts of Asa's reign. 1 Kings 15:9-24 provides a relatively brief summary, while the Chronicler devotes three chapters (2 Chr 14-16) to Asa, including extended unique material: the Ethiopian invasion, Asa's prayer of faith, the prophet Azariah's encouragement, and the reform assembly. Both texts note Asa's positive evaluation—"he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD" (yashar be-einei YHWH)—but the Chronicler dramatically expands the narrative to illustrate his retribution theology, showing early faithfulness rewarded with peace and military victory.

Text: 1 Kings 15:9
OT Text Referred to: 2 Chronicles 14:1
Subject: rule of Asa

Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: Both texts introduce Asa's reign with the standard accession formula, synchronizing it with Jeroboam's twentieth year. Kings and Chronicles agree that Asa "did what was right in the eyes of the LORD" (וַיַּעַשׂ אָסָא הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה), one of the few kings to receive this positive evaluation. The Chronicler in 2 Chronicles 14:1 adds that "the land had rest (שָׁקַט, shaqat) for ten years," connecting Asa's obedience to the covenant blessing of peace — a theological emphasis largely absent from Kings' more politically focused account.
