In the twenty . Baasha 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 . 8

the thirty . As it is stated in 1 Kings 16 . 10 , and 1 Kings 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
