Contextual Overview
1 In the second year of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Joash's son Amaziah began to rule as king of Judah. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king. And he ruled twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. 3 Amaziah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not like David his father. He did all that his father Joash had done. 4 But the high places were not taken away. The people still gave gifts and burned special perfume on the high places. 5 As soon as the nation was under Amaziah's power, he killed the servants who had killed his father when he was king. 6 But he did not kill the sons of the killers. Because it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord said, "The fathers must not be put to death for the sons. And the sons must not be put to death for the fathers. Each must be put to death for his own sin." 7 Amaziah killed 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war. He gave it the name Joktheel, which is its name to this day.

Gill's 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. As Joash king of Israel began to reign in the thirty seventh of Joash king of Judah, 2 Kings 13:10, who reigned forty years, Amaziah must therefore begin his reign in the fourth of Joash king of Israel; this therefore must be understood of his second year after he reigned alone, for he reigned two or three years in his father's lifetime.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The history of Judah is resumed 2 Kings 14:1-22, followed by a brief account of the contemporary history of Israel under Jeroboam II 2 Kings 14:23-29. The earlier narrative runs parallel with 2 Chronicles 25:0.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIV
Verse 2 Kings 14:1. 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.
