Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - This verse is identical with so much of per. 1 as has to do with same subject; that it is no mere careless repeated insertion, however, is evidenced by the name Jotham in that verse, in the place occupied by was in this verse.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) He was five and twenty years old.--A word for word repetition of 2Kings 15:33, omitting the last clause about the queen-mother. Perhaps in one of the chronicler's sources this notice occurred at the beginning, and in another at the end of the reign. This would account for its repetition here, after having been already stated in 2Chronicles 27:1.
