Exegesis
The lamed phrase leyoash {לְיוֹאָ֥שׁ | lə-yôʾāš} ‘of Joash’ marks the reign used as the chronological reference point, and the following appositional chain ben-achazyahu melech yehudah {בֶּן־אֲחַזְיָ֖הוּ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה | ben-ʾăḥazyāhû melek yəhûḏāh} identifies him as “son of Ahaziah, king of Judah.”
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.
