Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 29:1

"Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah." — 2 Chronicles 29:1 (ASV)

HEZEKIAH (chapters 29-32; 2 Kings 18-20); Chapter 29

LENGTH AND SPIRIT OF THE REIGN. THE SOLEMN PURGATION AND HALLOWING OF THE TEMPLE.

Hezekiah. —Hebrew, Yĕhizqîyâhu, as if “Strong is Iahu.” 2 Kings writes Hizkîyâh, “My strength is Iah;”Isaiah 27:0 and following, Hizkîyâhu. The annals of Sennacherib present the form Hazakiyahu.

Abijah. —2 Kings has the shortened form Abi. (This verse closely corresponds with 2 Kings 18:2.)
