Commentary on 1 Kings 15:33

Theological / Devotional

Tirzah. This city, which had been the capital of Jeroboam (ch. 14:17), continued to be the capital of Israel under the house of Baasha, and down to the reign of Omri (ch. 16:23). It was once a royal Canaanite city (Joshua 12:24), and was famous for its beauty, like Jerusalem (S. of Sol. 6:4).

Twenty and four years. That is, 24 years, inclusive (see on v. 28), for he began his reign in the 3d year of Asa and continued upon the throne until Asa’s 26th year (ch. 16:8).
