JOASH'S ILLNESS AND MURDER BY HIS OWN SERVANTS"And when they were departed from him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons[1] of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings. And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shemeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess. Now concerning his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:25

2 Chronicles 24:25. His own servants conspired against him— These two murderers, whose fathers were Jews, but their mothers aliens, (see the next verse,) were perhaps of the king's bed-chamber, and, having constant access to him, might more easily accomplish their design. However, he was so weak and feeble that he could make no resistance, and had fallen into such contempt and disesteem that his guards cared not what became of him. He was not allowed to be buried in the sepulchre of the kings.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

H. Joash ch. 24Joash’s life, as the writer narrated it, proves again the principles that Chronicles stresses. God was faithful to His promise to provide rulers over His people from David’s descendants. Each king’s success depended on his submission to God’s authority as expressed in the Law of Moses and the announcements of the prophets. The writer evaluated each king’s success and measured it by his attitude toward prescribed worship that centered at the temple."His rule . . . serves as a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:25

(25) And when they were departed from him.—Omit were. The Syrians retired, instead of besieging Jerusalem, as they had purposed to do.For they left him in great diseases.—Some refer this to the wounds which Joash had received from the Syrians in battle. But it is not said that Joash himself was wounded, but only that the destruction of his princes and the defeat of his army were judgments upon him. The word rendered “diseases” (mahălûyîm) only occurs here; but it is obviously a near synonym of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

JOASH AND AMAZIAH2 Chronicles 24:1-27; 2 Chronicles 25:1-28FOR Chronicles, as for the book of Kings, the main interest of the reign of Joash is the repairing of the Temple; but the later narrative introduces modifications which give a somewhat different complexion to the story. Both authorities tell us that Joash did that. which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada, but the book of Kings immediately adds that "the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

JOASH BEGINS WELL (vv.1-14) Being only seven years old at his coronation, Joash reigned 40 years, thus was only 47 when his own servants killed him (v.25). In his younger years he did what was right in the sight of the Lord for he had the good influence of Jehoiada. He had much for which to thank God under the patronage of Jehoiada and Joshabeath who had preserved him from death and enabled him to become king. But he leaned too heavily upon the godly priest and did not learn to depend truly... read more
