Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:5

Theological / Devotional

Thirty and two years old. Verses 5-10 are parallel to 2 Kings 8:17-22, which passage, plus the opening and closing formulas, constitutes the entire record of Jehoram’s reign that appears in Kings.

Eight years. This seems to have been the length of his sole reign, though he reigned an additional period as coregent (see Vol. II, pp. 148, 150).
