This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_23:31 Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Ver. 31. Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old.] He was younger than his brother Jehoiakim, {2Ki_23:36} got the kingdom from him by a popular faction, likely, and it proved accordingly. Some think him to have been called Shallum at first, {Jer_22:11} and that the people changed his name Melioris ominis causa; because Shallum king of Israel had reigned but one month only ere he was slain by Menahem. {2Ki_15:13}
