2 Kings 21:19

“And Amon was twenty two years old when he began to reign, etc.] Being born in the forty fifth of his father’s life, and in the thirty third of his reign: and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; which, as Abarbinel observes, was the usual time the sons of wicked kings reigned, and instances in the son of Jeroboam, Baasha, and Ahab, (<111525>1 Kings 15:25 16:8 22:51).

The city of Jotbah, from which his mother sprang, was, according to Jerome (in the Onom. s. v. Jethaba), urbs antiqua Judaeae; but it is not further known. 4 Kings (2 Kings) 21:23”
