2 Kings - 14:1 Meaning

“In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

14:1-7 Amaziah began well, but did not go on so. It is not enough to do that which our pious predecessors did, merely to keep up the common usage, but we must do it as they did, from the same principle of faith and devotion, and with the same sincerity and resolution.
