Tosefta sobre I Reyes 16:5

[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."
