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

According to .. Moses] This refers to the half-shekel required... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:5

(5) Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money.—This is the chronicler’s interpretation of “Let the priests take it to themselves, each from his own acquaintance” (Kings). The priests and Levites of the different districts were to collect the moneys due to the sanctuary, each in his own neighbourhood.And see that ye hasten the matter.—Literally, and, for your part, hasten ye in regard to the matter (comp. 2 Chronicles 18:8); and the Levites hastened not. This agrees with... 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

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

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 24:0 1. Joash ( 2Ki 12:1 ) was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba. 2. And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest [Jehoiada lived after the accession of Joash 23 years ( 2Ki 12:6 ), probably 25 or 30. Thus the idolatries of Joash ( infra, 2Ch 24:18 ) were confined to the last 10 or 15 years.] 15. But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of... read more
