The reign of Asa, the king of Judah, lasted for forty-one years, indicating a period of relative stability and continuity in the southern kingdom. This long reign suggests a time of consolidation and reform, as Asa is noted for his efforts to rid Judah of idolatry and restore the worship of Yahweh. Jerusalem, the capital city, was the political and spiritual center of Judah, housing the Temple built by Solomon. Asa's reign in Jerusalem underscores the city's significance as the heart of Judah's religious life. The duration of his reign is significant when compared to the often shorter and more tumultuous reigns of kings in the northern kingdom of Israel, highlighting a contrast between the two kingdoms during this period. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom. Persons / Places / Events 1. AsaAsa was the king of Judah who reigned for forty-one years.

Teaching Points Commitment to Godly LeadershipAsa's reign exemplifies the importance of leading with a commitment to God's principles, even when it requires difficult decisions, such as removing influential figures who promote ungodliness. The Influence of Family Asa's relationship with his grandmother Maacah shows the potential influence of family members on one's spiritual journey. It underscores the need for discernment in maintaining godly influences. The Danger of Idolatry Asa's reforms highlight the persistent danger of idolatry and the need for vigilance in removing anything that competes with our devotion to God. The Importance of Perseverance Asa's long reign reminds us of the importance of perseverance in faith and leadership, maintaining a focus on God throughout one's life. Reliance on God Asa's later years, where he relied on foreign alliances, serve as a cautionary tale about the importance of consistently relying on God rather than human solutions.(10) His mother's name was Maachah.--Maachah was (see 1Kings 15:2) the wife of Rehoboam, and, therefore, grandmother of Asa. She appears, however, still to have retained the place of "queen-mother," to the exclusion of the real mother of the king.Verse 10. - And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem [Corn. a Lapide points out that Ass saw eight kings of Israel on the throne, Jeroboam, Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Tibni, Omri, and Ahab]. And his mother's [or grandmother's, as margin] name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. [The same words as in ver. 2, and the reference can hardly be to a different person. Bahr indeed questions whether אֵם can here stand for grandmother, (1) because in every other case it designates the king's mother, (2) Because the mother of the king, and not the grandmother, enjoyed the dignity and position of Gebirah (ver. 13; 2 Chronicles 15:16). Some would read for Abishalom, Uriel of Gibeah; others, strengthened by the Michaiah of 2 Chronicles 13:2, think the historian mistaken in mentioning the name of Abijam's mother (ver. 2; 2 Chronicles 11:21) as Maachah. The difficulty by no means admits of a ready solution, but perhaps the best explanation is that the grandmother, Maachah, Rehoboam's favourite wife, retained her position, possibly by force of character, or because Asa's mother was dead. It is not certain, however, that if the latter had lived she would have displaced Maashah, of whose influence and imperious temper we have several indications; e.g., in the appointment of her son, though not the firstborn, to succeed his father, and in her open maintenance of idol worship, and above all in the fact that she was publicly deposed by Asa.
