The second year. According to Israelite reckoning, but the first according to Asa’s own reckoning (see on v. 1). The chronological data of the kings introducing the accounts of their reigns are, generally speaking, arranged in accord with the sequence of their accessions to the throne. This is why the reign of Nadab is now introduced after that of Asa, rather than the reign of Jehoshaphat, Asa’s successor. Thus far we have had the following:

1 Kings 15:1, 2

Abijam in Judah 18th year of Jeroboam

1 Kings 15:9, 10

Asa in Judah 20th year of Jeroboam
