Now concerning his sons,.... The sons of Joash; how many they were, and what their names:and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him; which some understand of the hard and heavy prophecies of the Lord against him; and others of the heavy taxes and tribute imposed on him by the king of Syria; and others of the collection for the repairs of the temple, 2Ch 24:6, where the word used signifies a burden; and it follows,and the repairing of the house of the Lord; the whole history of that:behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings; not in the canonical book so called, but in the history, commentaries, or annals of the kings of Judah now lost:and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead; see 2Ki 12:21.
