Verse 36

and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and therefore must die at the age of thirty and six :
and his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah ; which Josephus F12 Antiqu. l. 10. c. 5. sect. 2. calls Abuma; but he speaks of a village in Galilee called Ruma F13 De Bello Jud l. 3. c. 6. sect. 21. ; but whether the same with this is not certain.
