Compare verses: [2 Kings 13:22-25](../../../kjv/2-kings/13/22-25) . **And the LORD** = And Jehovah. Note the parenthesis of verses: [2 Kings 13:5](../../../kjv/2-kings/13/5) and [2 Kings 13:6](../../../kjv/2-kings/13/6) . **a saviour.** Some think an angel; some. Elisha; some, a general of Jehoahaz. Compare [2 Kings 13:25](../../../kjv/2-kings/13/25) ; [2 Kings 14:27](../../../kjv/2-kings/14/27) . **children** = sons. **of the house of.** Some codices, with Aram, and Syriac, omit these words. **walked.** Hebrew "he [Israel] walked". **therein.** Hebrew in it: i.e. in Jeroboam's way; but some codices, with Aramaean, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "in them". **remained** = stood. **the grove** = the *'Asherah.* See App-42 . **like the dust, &c.** A powerful emblem, true to Eastern life. **are they not . . . ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis.* App-6 . **slept with his fathers.** See note on [Deuteronomy 31:16](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/31/16) . **Joash,** or Jehoash. **in his stead:** i.e. alone. **thirty and seventh.** Joash (of Israel) became king in the thirtyseventh year of Joash (of Judah). Amaziah, son of Joash (of Judah), became king in the second year of Joash (of Israel), [2 Kings 14:1](../../../kjv/2-kings/14/1) . Therefore Amaziah became associate king in the thirty-ninth year of Joash of Judah: i.e. one year before Joash died, for he "reigned forty years in Jerusalem" ([1 Chronicles 24:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/24/1) ). The cause of Amaziah's kingship in Joash's lifetime is not named in Kings, but we see it in the "diseases" of [2 Chronicles 24:25](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/24/25) . **over:** i.e. in consort with his father.
