JEHORAM, AHAZIAH, AND ATHALIAH: THE CONSEQUENCES OF A FOREIGN MARRIAGE2 Chronicles 21:1-20; 2 Chronicles 22:1-12; 2 Chronicles 23:1-21THE accession of Jehoram is one of the instances in which a wicked son succeeded to a conspicuously pious father, but in this case there is no difficulty in explaining the phenomenon: the depraved character and evil deeds of Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Athaliah are at once accounted for when we remember that they were respectively the son-in-law, grandson, and daughter... read more

4. Reformation Under Joash CHAPTER 23 Joash King and Athaliah’s Execution 1. Joash made king (2 Chronicles 23:1-11 ) 2. Athaliah slain (2 Chronicles 23:12-15 ) 3. Jehoiada and the revival (2 Chronicles 23:16-21 ) The annotations to this interesting page in the history of Judah have already been made in connection with 2 Kings 11:0 . We therefore pass over the preservation of the young child Joash and his hiding away in the LORD’s house, on this account. However we call attention to the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 23:1-21

JOASH CROWNED KING IN JUDAH (vv.1-11) Athaliah's tyranny was borne with for six years, when finally Jehoiada the priest took the lead in gaining the support of the military leaders in Judah, to plan the crowning of the young boy Joash. Messengers went throughout Judah to gather the Levites from the many cities, and the chief elders of the people to Jerusalem (v.2). This was done without the knowledge of Athaliah. The assemblage came to the temple, where they made a covenant with Joash that... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:1-21

JEHORAM TO HEZEHIAH JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:0 ) Jehoshaphat followed Rehoboam’s example in arranging for his sons (2 Chronicles 21:3 ), but without the hoped-for result (2 Chronicles 21:4 ). Such a brother as Jehoram proved might be expected to act in his kingly capacity as verses five to seven testify. Elijah (2 Chronicles 21:12 ) may be mistaken of the transcribers for Elisha, as the former died earlier (2 Kings 2:0 ); unless we take the view in the margin that this was a “writing” he... read more

2 Chronicles 22:0 1. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem [comp. chap. 2 Chronicles 21:11 , 2Ch 21:13 ] made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest [some of the mixed host that came and encamped against Jerusalem with the Arabs had slain all the captive princes, otherwise the people would probably have sought to ransom the eldest, and would then have made him king (compare chap. 2 Chronicles 21:17 ; Jdg 8:18 ... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:12-15

When the day of judgment, even in this life, comes to the wicked, what an awful day it is! And what will that tremendous day of God be, when it shall arrive in another! The rejoicing of the people at the sight of their king, may serve to give us some faint idea how lovely the sight of Jesus is to a poor soul who hath long groaned under the tyranny of Satan, as Judah had under the tyranny of Athaliah. And, Reader! let your imagination conceive, if it can, what will he the bursts of joy when... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 23:12-15

Athaliah Slain v. 12. Now, when Athaliah, from her palace on the other side of the valley, heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, for the joyful shouts of the people and the loud blasts of the Temple trumpets indicated an unusual occurrence on the Temple grounds, she came to the people, having rushed across the magnificent bridge of Solomon to the Temple grounds, into the house of the Lord; v. 13. and she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar, at the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 23:1-21

The story of Jehoida is one of devotion and courage. Doubtless he had known of the hiding place of Joash and his nurse. After six years of terrible experience, he took means to bring about the death of Athaliah, and the crowning of the boy, who was the true representative of the house of David. There is dramatic power in one statement here concerning Athaliah, "She looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance." The boy king was brought out, anointed, and crowned amid the... read more
