2 Kings 15:1 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam After an interregnum of twelve years in the kingdom of Judah, either through the prevalency of the faction which cut off Amaziah the father, and kept the son out of his kingdom; or, rather, because Azariah was very young, it is thought only four years of age, when his father was slain, and the people were not agreed to restore him till he was in his sixteenth year: see on 2 Kings 14:21. Began Azariah to reign Solely and fully to exercise his regal power.
