2 KING. XII. from vers. 4. to end. And 2 CHRON. XXIV. from vers. 4. to end. And 2 KING. XIV. 1, 2.

[World 3146] [Ioash 23] [Jehoahaz 1] [Division. 117] JOASH taketh course for the [Ioash 24] [Jehoahaz 2] [Division. 118] repairing of the Temple: [Ioash 25] [Jehoahaz 3] [Division. 119] and he keepeth close to Religi∣on [Ioash 26] [Jehoahaz 4] [Division. 120] all the time that Jehojada [Ioash 27] [Jehoahaz 5] [Division. 121] lived: but when he was dead, [Ioash 28] [Jehoahaz 6] [Division. 122] he forgetteth God, and forsa∣keth [Ioash 29] [Jehoahaz 7] [Division. 123] his Temple, and he and [Ioash 30] [Jehoahaz 8] [Division. 124] Judah betake themselves to [Ioash 31] [Jehoahaz 9] [Division. 125] open Idolatry, for which wrath [Ioash 32] [Jehoahaz 10] [Division. 126] cometh upon them: And to [Ioash 33] [Jehoahaz 11] [Division. 127] make their measure full, they slay Zachariah a Priest, and Pro∣phet between the Temple and the Altar.

[Ioash 34] [Jehoahaz 12] [Division. 128] Zachariah stoned in the Tem∣ple, [Ioash 35] [Ioash 36] [Ioash 37] [Jehoahaz 13] [Jehoahaz 14] [Jehoahaz 15] [Division. 129] [Division. 130] [Division. 131] Hazael invadeth Judah.

[World 3163] [Ioash 38] [Amaziah 1] [Jehoahaz 16] [Iehoash 1] [Division. 132] Amaziah reigneth twenty [Ioash 39] [Amaziah 2] [Jehoahaz 17] [Iehoash 2] [Division. 133] nine years, 2 King. 14. 1, 2.

[World 3163] [Ioash 40] [Amaziah 3] [Iehoash 3] [Iehoash 4] [Division. 134] Joash s••ain by his servants.

Here it is apparent that Amaziah reigned three years before his fathers death, and the reason was because of his fathers sore diseasedness, which made him unable to manage the Kingdom, 2 Chron. 24. 25. Jehoash also reigned three years before his fathers death, for he grew valiant and victorious against the Syrians, and thereupon he is made Viceroy in his fathers life time.
