Im sechsunddreißigsten Jahr der Regierungszeit von Asa trat Baasa, der König von Israel, gegen Juda auf und baute Rama, damit er niemanden leiden ließ, der nach Asa, dem König von Juda, hinausging oder hereinkam.
Tosefta Sotah
[It is stated]: "In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Ba'asha, king of Israel, rose up against Judah, and he built 'the Heights' (HaRama) [in order to prevent Asa, king of Judah, from coming or going]" (2 Chr. 16:1). It is impossible to say this! Didn't Asa bury Ba'asha in the twenty-sixth year of his reign (see 1 Kings 16:5-7)? What "the thirty-sixth year" comes to teach is that is compared to the thirty-six years in which Solomon aligned himself in marriage with the King of Egypt (1 Kings 3:1); and compared to the thirty-six years in which a decree was instituted against the kingship of the House of David, that the kingdom of David would be divided (cf. Shab. 113b:10), but that in a future era it would return to them (i.e., the kingdom would be reunited); and compared to the thirty-six years that a decree was imposed on the kings of Aram that they would be hostile to Israel, but that in a future era they would fall to the House of David. Therefore, it says "in the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa."
