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 23:2-11

We need not dwell particularly upon the relation here given of this event, because we have already considered it in the history which is delivered in nearly the same words, 2 Kings 11:0 . I would only beg the Reader to make a spiritual remark as he passeth through it, and observe with me how often the Lord Jesus, the lawful king of his people, is hidden from them, while his enemies in our corrupt nature, the world and the devil usurp, as Athaliah did, not merely for six years together, but many... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 23:1-11

Joash made King v. 1. And in the seventh year, namely, after Athaliah had usurped the power in Judah, Jehoiada strengthened himself, was filled with courage and energy, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah, the son of Obed, and Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri, into covenant with him, these commanders of the guard being exceptionally trustworthy men.

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

2 Chronicles 23, 24. The Reign of Joash (see notes on 2 Kings 11:4 to 2 Kings 12:21.— While the Chronicler bases his narrative, in the main, on the parallel passage in 2 K., he makes changes by means of additions and omissions which leave an entirely different impression on the mind of the reader; this applies more especially to the passage 2 Chronicles 23:1-1 Kings :. According to 2 K. it is the captains of hundreds, the royal body-guard composed of foreigners, who enter the Temple at the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Chronicles 23:1-21

CRITICAL NOTES.] This chapter parallel with 2 Kings 11:4-20, evidently from same source, although presenting certain points of difference. In Ki. narrative related from civil point of view, in Chronicles writer concerns himself mainly with the ecclesiastical aspect of the transaction [Speak. Com.]. Joash is made king (2 Chronicles 23:1-11); Athaliah slain (2 Chronicles 23:12-15); and worship restored (2 Chronicles 23:16-21).2 Chronicles 23:1-11.—Joash made King.
