the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
KJV
The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
King of Tirzah - This city appears to have been for a long time the capital of the kingdom of Israel, and the residence of its kings. See 1Ki 14:17; 1Ki 15:21, 1Ki 15:33. Its situation cannot be exactly ascertained; but it is supposed to have been situated on a mountain about three leagues south of Samaria. All the kings thirty and one - The Septuagint say εικοσι εννεα, twenty-nine, and yet set down but twenty-eight, as they confound or omit the kings of Beth-el, Lasharon, and Madon.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
