BEgan] Heb. reigned. This word is not in the text: but this word, reigned, is oft translated thus, began to reign, as 1 Kings 15:25. and 22. 41, 51. If it be here so taken, it must be expounded of his beginning of his reign alone, after his fathers death; for he began to reign with his father twelve yeers before this. See the Notes on Chap. 14. 21. Azariah] 1 Chronicles 16:1, Ʋzziah.
