SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:2
Cuando comenzó a reinar era de veinticinco años, y veintinueve años reinó en Jerusalén; el nombre de su madre fue Joadán, de Jerusalén.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem , etc.] Fourteen years contemporary with Joash king of Israel, who reigned sixteen years, ( Kings 13:10) and fifteen after him, ( 2 Kings 14:17), and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem ; of whom we nowhere else read, Ver. 3 . And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord , etc.]. At least externally, and at the beginning of his reign: yet not like David his father ; not with a perfect heart, with that sincerity and uprightness as he did, (see 2 Chronicles 25:2), he did according to all things as Joash his father did ; who at first reigned well, and then fell into idolatry, as this his son did.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Amaziah began well, but did not go on so. It is not enough to do tha which our pious predecessors did, merely to keep up the common usage but we must do it as they did, from the same principle of faith an devotion, and with the same sincerity and resolution.
