2 Kings 14:1 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah. In the second year of Joash - This second year should be understood as referring to the time when his father Jehoahaz associated him with himself in the kingdom: for he reigned two years with his father; so this second year of Joash is the first of his absolute and independent government. - See Calmet.
