Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:1-11

We may well imagine the bad posture of affairs in Jerusalem during Athaliah's six years? usurpation, and may wonder that God permitted it and his people bore it so long; but after such a dark and tedious night the returning day in this revolution was the brighter and the more welcome. The continuance of David's seed and throne was what God had sworn by his holiness (Ps. 89:35), and an interruption was no defeasance; the stream of government here runs again in the right channel. The instrument... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:1-11

The constituents of success. It was no light work that Jehoiada had in hand. He had need to "strengthen himself," as we are told that he did ( 2 Chronicles 23:1 ). To effect a revolution in a kingdom is either a very guilty or a very noble deed. It can only be justified by the most grave conditions and by a reasonable prospect of success. When, as on this occasion, it is imperatively demanded, and when, as now, it is boldly and effectively accomplished, a very great work of patriotism... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:4

The first thing that is to be observed is the distinct and repeated mention of the Levites, as those on whom the critical and onerous service that came of Jehoiada's resolution was devolved, while the parallel does not so much as mention them. It may next be noted that our first and second verses state the part that "the captains of hundreds" were called to perform in collecting the requisite number of Levites from the provincial cities of Judah. And once more it may be noted that whereas,... read more

A third part … at the king's house . It seems impossible to refer this to the royal palace, as some suppose from 2 Chronicles 23:19 in the parallel. It probably designates the place where the child had been living in concealment. This portion of the description appears to correspond with the last clause of 2 Chronicles 23:5 in the parallel. At the gate of the foundation . The Hebrew text here is יְסוֹד ( Exodus 29:12 ; Le Exodus 4:7 ; Habakkuk 3:13 ); in the parallel סוּר ,... read more

But let none come … save the priests . Through this little chink we get some light confirmatory of the concurrent jurisdiction of the account in the parallel The express caution of this clause shows that there were others about, and others officiating, beside the Levites, who only have been mentioned hitherto in our text, except under the most generic designation (as before, so again in last clause of this verse) of "all the people." The last clause of this verse may cover the contents... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:7

And the Levites shall compass the king . The matter of 2 Chronicles 23:8 in the parallel suggests nothing inconsistent with the express mention of the Levites here, but rather that the word "Levites" is desiderated there, and its significance perhaps accidentally overlooked, when the writer of Kings was using the original authorities and sources of his history. read more
