lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash
on 2 Chronicles 25:25-26
The regnal notice, fifteen years lived after Joash's death and a pointer to the book of the kings of Judah and Israel, matches Kings' formula. The postscript years are commonly read as a slow decline rather than a recovery, the humiliation at Jerusalem never undone in the record that follows.
The record, by era

And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the L ORD , but not with a perfect heart. 3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
