Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| In the eleventh year - The twelfth according to Kg2 8:25. The discrepancy may be best explained from two ways of reckoning the accession of Ahaziah, who is likely to have been regent for his father during at least one year. See Ch2 21:19. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| In the eleventh year of Joram - The note in our margin contains as good an account of this chronological difficulty as can be reasonably required: Then he began to reign as viceroy to his father in his sickness; Ch2 21:18, Ch2 21:19. But in Joram's twelfth year he began to reign alone; Kg2 8:26. |
19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
