Exegesis
The verse ends with a bare duration expression, sheva esreh shanah {שְׁבַ֥ע עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָֽה | šeḇaʿ ʿeśrēh šānāh} ‘seventeen years,’ which English naturally renders as a concluding time-span (“for seventeen years”) tied to the reign just announced.
In context — 2 Kings 13:1
In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
