a.sa is a personal name used chiefly for the king of Judah and also within a genealogy.

The supplied verses use this noun proper as a personal name, predominantly identifying the king of Judah in accounts of his reign, actions, conflicts, succession, and later remembrance; 1 Chronicles 9:16 also places the name within Berechiah’s genealogy.

   The proper-noun form identifies the king of Judah in clauses concerning his accession, conduct, and public actions: in 1 Kings 15:9 the APB renders that he began to reign, and in 2 Chronicles 16:10 it renders his anger at the seer and his oppression of some people. The same name occurs in a genealogical chain in 1 Chronicles 9:16, where the APB renders Berechiah as "son of Asa."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the proper name directly as "Asa," often adding "king of Judah" where the clause identifies his office. In genealogical context it likewise retains the name in a lineage; Its surrounding wording does not define the term beyond its use as a name.
