Contextual Overview

1 In the second year of Joash the son of Jehoahaz the king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash the king of Judah reigned. 2 He was a son of twenty five years when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 3 And he did the right in the eyes of Jehovah, but not like his father David; he did according to all that his father Joash did; 4 however, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places. 5 And it happened, when the kingdom was strong in his hand, he struck his servants, those who struck his father, the king. 6 But he did not cause to die the sons of those who struck him , as it is written in the book of the Law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers are not to be caused to die for thesons, and the sons are not to be caused to die for the fathers, but each shall be caused to die for his own sin. 7 He struck Edom in the Valley of Salt, ten thousand, and captured the Rock by war, and called its name Joktheel to this day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem,.... Fourteen years contemporary with Joash king of Israel, who reigned sixteen years, 2 Kings 13:10 and fifteen after him, 2 Kings 14:17,

and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem; of whom we nowhere else read,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Joash of Judah reigned forty years 2 Kings 12:1, and Joash of Israel ascended the throne in his namesake’s thirty-seventh year 2 Kings 13:10; hence, we should have expected to hear that Amaziah succeeded his father in the fourth rather than in the second year of Joash (of Israel). The usual explanation of the discrepancy is to suppose a double accession of the Israelite Joash - as co-partner with his father in the thirty-seventh year of his namesake, as sole king two years afterward.
