Melachim Bais 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:10

In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah, began
Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria
But inasmuch as his father began to reign in the twenty third of Joash, and reigned seventeen years, ( 2 Kings 13:1 ) this king must begin to reign in the thirty ninth or fortieth of Joash; for the reconciling of which it may be observed, that two of the years of his reign may be supposed to be imperfect; or rather that his son reigned two or three years in his lifetime, being raised up before his father's death to be a saviour of Israel from the Syrians; and so his father lived to see his prayer answered, ( 2 Kings 13:4 2 Kings 13:5 ) ,

and reigned sixteen years.
