Barnes' Notes
In the third year - If Hoshea ascended the throne toward the close of the 12th year of Ahaz II Kings 17:1, and if Ahaz reigned not much more than 15 years II Kings 16:2, the first of Hezekiah might synchronise in part with Hoshea' s third year.
Hezekiah - The name given by our translators follows the Greek form, ̓́ Ezekias , rather than the Hebrew, which is Hizkiah. Its meaning is "strength of Yahweh."
