Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
13:10-13 The narrator atypically combines the accession statement for Jehoash with the usual closing notice concerning his reign. This arrangement allows him to focus attention on some final details about Elisha (13:14-21) and Israel’s continuing problem with Aram (13:22-25) before returning to Jehoash’s war with King Amaziah of Judah in 14:8-14. • The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel: See study note on 1 Kgs 14:19-20.
