Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:25

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:23

23. at the end of the year the host of Syria came up—This invasion took place under the personal conduct of Hazael, whom Joash, to save the miseries of a siege, prevailed on to withdraw his forces by a large present of gold ( :-). Most probably, also, he promised the payment of an annual tribute, on the neglect or refusal of which the Syrians returned the following year, and with a mere handful of men inflicted a total and humiliating defeat on the collected force of the Hebrews. read more

25. they left him in great diseases—The close of his life was embittered by a painful malady, which long confined him to bed. his own servants conspired against him—These two conspirators (whose fathers were Jews, but their mothers aliens) were probably courtiers, who, having constant access to the bedchamber, could the more easily execute their design. for the blood of the sons—read "the son" of Jehoiada. Public opinion seems to have ascribed the disasters of his life and reign to that foul... 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

Reign of Joash (concluded)An account of the repair of the Temple, the idolatry of Joash after the death of Jehoiada, the murder of Jehoiada’s son, and the king’s violent death.The early part of this chapter reproduces 2 Kings 11:21 to 2 Kings 12:16, with unimportant variations, but 2 Chronicles 24:15-22 are entirely supplementary, and give a different account of the closing years of the reign of Joash from that contained in 2 K.6. According to .. Moses] This refers to the half-shekel required... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:23

THE LORD’S VENGEANCE, viz., THE SYRIAN INVASION AND SLAUGHTER OF THE PRINCES, AND THE MURDER OF JOASH (2 Chronicles 24:23-27). (Comp. 2 Kings 12:17-21.)(23) At the end of the year.—At the running out of the year, viz., the year of the murder of Zechariah. (See for the phrase, Exodus 34:22.)The host of Syria came up against him.—Comp. 2 Kings 12:17. Our passage seems to show that a small part (2 Chronicles 24:24) of the besieging army was detached, and sent against Jerusalem. (Comp. 2 Kings... read more

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

(24) For the army of the Syrians.—This verse is explanatory of 2 Chronicles 24:23. Literally, For with fewness of men had the host of Syria come, and Jehovah had given into their hand a host in exceeding abundance. “Fewness of men” (miç’ar ‘anâshîm) is a phrase not found elsewhere. (Comp. Genesis 19:20.) The parallel account informs us that Hazael had intended to march against Jerusalem in person, as it would seem, after the battle in which the Syrian division had defeated the Jewish princes.... 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
