[Jerushah.]
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.
Abi <021> [A.M. 3278-3306. B.C. 726-698. Abi.]

2 Kings 22:1
Josiah <02977> [A.M. 3363-3394. B.C. 641-610. Josiah.]
This prince was one of the best, if not the best, of all the Jewish kings since the time of David. He began well, continued well, and ended well.
[Josias.]

This was a city in the plain country of the tribe of Judah; and is mentioned in the parallel passage along with Lachish and Eglon.

Jehoiachin <03078> [Jehoiachin.]
[Jeconiah.]
[Coniah.]
[Jechonias.]
eighteen years <08141 08083> [eighteen years.]
In the parallel place, he is said to be only eight years old; but this must be a mistake, for we find that having reigned only three months, he was carried captive to Babylon, and there had wives; and had he been of such a tender age, it could scarcely have been said that, as a king, "he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord."
2 Kings 24:18

Josephus here reads Abuma; but he also speaks of Ruma, a village of Galilee.
2 Kings 11:2
Jehosheba <03089> [Jehosheba.]
[Jehoshabeath. Joram.]
[Jehoram. Joash.]
[Jehoash. they hid him.]
room <02315> [in the bed-chamber.]
{Bachadar hammittoth,} "in a chamber of beds;" which Sir J. Chardin thinks does not mean a room to sleep in, but a chamber used as a repository for beds; for, in the East, they sleep upon cotton mattresses, "of which they have several in great houses, against they should have occasion, and a room on purpose for them."
2 Kings 14:9
thornbush ................................. thorn <02336> [The thistle.]
The word {choach,} which is rendered here, and in 2 Ch 25:18; Job 31:18, thistle, in 1 Sa 13:6, thicket in Isa 34:13, bramble, and in 2 Ch 33:11; Pr 26:9; So 2:2; Ho 9:6 thorn, is probably the black thorn, or sloe tree, the {prunus spinosa} of Linn‘us, as the same word signifies in Arabic. There is a vast deal of insolent dignity in this remonstrance of Jehoash; but it has nothing conciliatory; no proposal of making amends for the injury his army had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah. (2 Ch 25:10-13.) The comparatively useless thorn, which may by chance lacerate the incautious passenger, is made the emblem of the house of Judah and David, while the house of Jehu is represented by the stately cedar.
2 Kings 8:26
twenty-two <08147 06242> [Two and twenty.]
In the parallel passage of Chronicles, it is said, "forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign;" but this is evidently a mistake, as it makes the son two years older than his own father! For his father began to reign when he was thirty-two years old, and reigned eight years, and so died, being forty years old. See ver. 17, and the Note on 2 Ch 22:2.
years ........... one year <0259 08141> [one year.]
Athaliah <06271> [Athaliah.]
granddaughter <01323> [daughter. or, grand-daughter.]
