Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
All their days - literally, "all the days." Not "all the days" of the two Syrian kings, for Ben-hadad lost to Joash all the cities which he had gained from Jehoahaz Kg2 13:25; but either "all the days of Jehoahaz" Kg2 13:22, or "all the days of Hazael" - both while he led his own armies, and while they were led by his son.

22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
