Both accounts say Hezekiah became king at twenty-five and reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, but they spell his mother’s name Abi and Abijah, and the Korean text spells her father’s name 스가리야 and 스가랴. Their identities remain unresolved in separate entries, and no second mother edge to Hezekiah is added.
