1 Kings 15:23–24 is framed in the same formal style that we have seen before. There is the writer pointing to another source of information concerning King Asa, an acknowledgement of his death, and the fact of his burial in the city of David.
An interesting detail that the writer gives breaks the mold of the formal style of concluding this king’s narrative. The writer says that in Asa’s old age, he was diseased in his feet. Possibly, the writer intended for the reader to infer that this disease had something to do with his death.
23 Le reste de toutes les actions d'Asa, tous ses exploits et tout ce qu'il a fait, et les villes qu'il a bâties, cela n'est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda? Toutefois, à l'époque de sa vieillesse, il eut les pieds malades.
