Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

when Baasha: 2 Chronicles 16:5

Tirzah: 1 Kings 14:17, 1 Kings 16:15-18, Song of Solomon 6:4

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 15:17 - Ramah 1 Kings 16:6 - Tirzah 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof,.... What was doing in the northern part of his kingdom:

that he left off building of Ramah; which was the thing designed to be answered by this diversion:

and dwelt in Tirzah; in the tribe of Manasseh, nearer at hand, to observe and stop the motions of the Syrian king.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 15:21. Dwelt in Tirzah. — This seems to have been the royal city; see 1 Kings 15:33, and 1 Kings 14:17; and in this Baasha was probably obliged to shut himself up.
