2 Kings 23:36

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign,.... And therefore must be two years older than his brother Jehoahaz, who was deposed:

and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and therefore must die at the age of thirty and six:

And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah; which Josephus {l} calls Abuma; but he speaks of a village in Galilee called Ruma {m}; but whether the same with this is not certain.
