   ›Commentary on 2 Kings 18:22 voices

   “Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign,....

   “Twenty and five years old was he - This statement, combined with that of 2Ki 16:2, would make it necessary that his father Ahaz should have married at the age of 10, and have had a child born to him when he was 11 years of age. This is not impossible; but its improbability is so great, that most commentators suggest a corruption in some of the numbers. The Zachariah here mentioned was perhaps one of the “faithful witnesses” of Isaiah Isa 8:2.

   Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:11 voice

   “The treatment of Hezekiah’s reign by the author of Chronicles is in marked contrast with that followed in the Book of Kings.
