2 Kings 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 14:1

In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel
reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
] As Joash king of Israel began to reign in the thirty seventh of Joash king of Judah, ( 2 Kings 13:10 ) , who reigned forty years, Amaziah must therefore begin his reign in the fourth of Joash king of Israel; this therefore must be understood of his second year after he reigned alone, for he reigned two or three years in his father's lifetime.

2 Kings 14:1 In-Context

1 In the second year of Joash the son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father. He did in all things as Joash his father had done.
4 But the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places.
5 And as soon as the royal power was firmly in his hand, he struck down his servants who had struck down the king his father.
