  others Jeroboam, whom Baasha destroyed in his posterity by
  cruelly murdering them all.

VERSE 8 
 - A.M. 3075.  B.C. 929.  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.

VERSE 22

VERSE 23 
 - A.M. 3079-3086.  B.C. 925-918.  the thirty.
  As it is stated in verses 10 and 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.
