Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah King of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz King of Judah began to reign. There can scarcely be any doubt of this synchronism, which is in close accordance with the dates in vers. 9,10 of this chapter, and agrees well with the Assyrian inscriptions. Hezekiah's accession may be placed almost certainly in B.C. 727.

The name in this form means, "My strength is Jah" (Psalm 18:2), and its special appropriateness is exemplified by Hezekiah's history.
