This could get confusing…..there are variations of spelling in the Hebrew.
2 Chronicles 25:25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
(Hebrew OT+) ויחי H2421 אמציהו H558 בן H1121 יואשׁ H3101 מלך H4428 יהודה H3063 אחרי H310 מות H4191 יואשׁ H3101 בן H1121 יהואחז H3059 מלך H4428 ישׂראל H3478 חמשׁ H2568 עשׂרה H6240 שׁנה׃ H8141
(KJV+) And Amaziah H558 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Judah H3063 lived H2421 after H310 the death H4194 of Joash H3101 son H1121 of Jehoahaz H3059 king H4428 of Israel H3478 fifteen H2568 H6240 years. H8141
There is some clarification of the earlier text…..two different Kings, different places, close to same time, and one has a variant spelling in Hebrew, so a slightly different word is used….AKA Dick and Richard.
