(11) Now.—And.At what time the chest was brought.—Literally, at the time when one used to bring the chest to the royal inspection (or, to the king’s officers pĕquddâh), by the hand of the Levites; i.e., whenever the chest was brought, &c.The chronicler, as usual, is careful to record the participation of the Levites in the business.The king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest.—Rather, the king’s scribe (or accountant) and the high priest’s officer would come in... read more

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

24:11 Now it came to pass, that at what time {e} the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that [there was] much money, the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again.

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

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
