Kings II 23:36 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 23:36

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to
reign
And therefore must be two years older than his brother Jehoahaz, who was deposed:

and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and therefore must die at the
age of thirty and six:

and his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah;
which Josephus ^F12 calls Abuma; but he speaks of a village in Galilee called Ruma ^F13; but whether the same with this is not certain.
