IN the three and twentieth yeer] Heb. the twenieth yeer and third yeer. If this be taken of the beginning of the yeer; and the account made from the two and twentieth yeer; and the seventeen yeers be accounted current, so as he reigned but sixteen yeers compleat; and the thirty seventh yeer mentioned, v. 10. be taken compleat; then the account of this verse will very well stand with the account, v. 10. See a like account, 1 Kings 15:2. Such accounts are frequent in sacred Scripture. Or it may be that Jehoahaz setled his son Joash on the throne two yeers before his death, as Jehoshaphat did his son.
