SCRIPTURE

"Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok." — 2 Kings 15:33 (ASV)

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign
Alone, after the death of his father:

and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem ;
and his reign, upon the whole, was a good reign:

and his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok ;
a person well known in those times; Dr. Lightfoot F8 thinks he was high priest.
