Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:2
Jehoiada lived after the accession of Joash at least 23 years 2 Kings 12:6. Thus the idolatries of Joash 2 Chronicles 24:18 were confined to his last 10 or 15 years. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:3
Athaliah’s destruction of the seed royal had left Joash without a natural successor, and his marriage at the earliest suitable age, was, therefore, a matter of state policy. One of his wives in question was probably “Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,” the mother of Amaziah 2 Chronicles 25:1, who must have been taken to wife by Joash as early as his 21st year. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27
Joash and Jehoiada (24:1-27)The reign of the new king Joash showed how a strong and godly priesthood was necessary for the proper functioning of the Davidic kings. As long as he was under the influence of the high priest Jehoiada, Joash encouraged true worship among his people. After Jehoiada died, Joash turned away from God and encouraged Canaanite worship.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:1
END OF THE REIGN OF JOASH"Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba. And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest. And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters."These three verses are parallel with 2 Kings 12:1-4. (See our comments there.) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:3
That special note is made of Jehoiada's selecting of the wives may at any rate point to the suggestion that he was all a father to Joash, and both for his own sake and the kingdom's sake anxious as to the character of the women by whom a new kingly seed should take rise in place of that destroyed by Athaliah ( 2 Chronicles 22:10 ).
