Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 15:21

21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah .

Now the Royal City of Israel. See chap. 14. 17. There he abode to defend his own Kingdoms, and durst not return to oppose Asa, lest the Syrian King should make a second and worse Invasion. So Asa met with success in his ungodly course, as on the other side good men sometimes meet with disappointment in a good cause and course. So there is no judging of Causes by Events.
