Commentary on 2 Kings 22:1

Theological / Devotional

Eight years old. Since Amon was only 24 years old at his death and Josiah was then already 8, Amon must have been married as early as 15 and had a son at 16. Thus it is extremely unlikely that he had any son older than Josiah.

Thirty and one years. See p. 77.
