John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
2 Kings 22:1

And must be born when his father was but sixteen, for Amon lived
but twenty four years, ( 2 Kings
21:19 ) ,
and he reigned thirty and one years in
Jerusalem;
and so must die at thirty nine years of age:
and his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah
of Boscath;
