2 Kings 13:3

Hazael ...... Hazael's <02371> [Hazael.]
Ben Hadad <01130> [Ben-hadad.]

Rather "all his days;" for Joash son of Jehoahaz delivered Israel from Ben-hadad.

Pul ........... him <06322> [A.M. 3233. B.C. 771. Pul.]
Prideaux supposes that this Pul was the father of the famous Sardanapalus, who was called Sardan with his father's name Pul annexed, as was frequent in those times, making Sardanpul: thus Merodach, king of Babylon, was Merodach-Baladan, because he was the son Baladan. This Pul began to reign according to Usher, A.M. 3237, the fifth year of Menahem; and he is supposed to be the same that reigned in Nineveh, when Jonah preached in that city.

Menahem <04505> [Menahem.]
got <03318> [exacted. Heb. caused to come forth. the mighty.]
each one <0259 0376> [of each man, etc.]
Or, rather, as Bishop Patrick renders, "to give to the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver for each man," i.e., in his army. It may be supposed, that Menahem compelled "the mighty men of wealth" to give much more a-piece than this sum, (somewhat about 5Å“. sterling each) and each of them in some proportion to his affluence.
stay ..... land <05975 0776> [stayed not.]
2 Kings 15:29
Tiglath-pileser <08407> [Tiglath-pileser.]
Some suppose Tiglath-pileser to be the son of Sardanapalus: but the learned Prideaux makes him the same as Arbaces the Mede, called by ’lian, Thelgamus, and by Castor, Ninus Junior, who, with Belesis, headed the conspiracy against Sardanapalus, and fixed his royal seat at Nineveh, as Belesis, called in Scripture Baladan (Is 39:1), did his at Babylon. He reigned nineteen years, from A.M. 3257 to A.M. 3276.

2 Kings 18:2
twenty-five years old .......... twenty-nine years <06242 02568 08141 01121> [Twenty and five years old.]
As Ahaz was 20 years old when he began to reign, and died when he had reigned 16 years, his whole age only amounted to 36 years; and as Hezekiah was, at least, entering on his 25th year when he began to reign, then Ahaz must have been under 12 years of age when his son was born! This is not at all impossible: and there are well-attested facts of men having children at as early a period, especially in eastern countries.
