Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the twenty and third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah,.... The same year he was so zealous and busy in repairing the temple, 2 Kings 12:6,

Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria; whereas Joash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and Jehu reigned but twenty eight years, 2 Kings 10:36, and 2 Kings 12:1, this could be but the twenty first of Joash; to reconcile which it must be observed, that it was at the beginning of the seventh year of Jehu that Joash began to reign, and at the beginning of the twenty third of Joash that Jehoahaz began to reign, as the Jewish commentators observe:

and reigned seventeen years; the two last of which were in common with his son, as Junius, see 2 Kings 13:10

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In this chapter the history of the kingdom of Israel is traced through the two reigns of Jehoahaz and Jehoash. In 2 Kings 14:0 the history of Judah is resumed.

In the three and twentieth year - Rather, the “one and twentieth year.” See 2 Kings 13:10.

He dies, and Joash reigns in his stead, and does evil in the

sight of the Lord, 9-13.

the Syrians, and dies, 14-20.

many cities out of the hands of Ben-hadad, his successor, and

defeats him three times, 22-25.
