2 Kings 18:2
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zacharias.

Twenty and five years old As Ahaz was

20 years old when he began to reign, and died when he had reigned

16 years, his whole age only amounted to

36 years; and as Hezekiah was, at least, entering on his

25th year when he began to reign, then Ahaz must have been under

12 years of age when his son was born! This is not at all impossible: and there are well-attested facts of men having children at as early a period, especially in eastern countries.
