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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

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

Precious in the sight of the Lord (we are told) is the death of his saints. Psalms 116:15 . And the record which the Holy Ghost hath thought proper to make of the faithful in the sacred volume, is a blessed testimony of this truth. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:3

Him. Joas, as Protestants (H.) and most interpreters understand it, with the Syriac, &c. Joiada was too old to think of marrying again, as the Rabbins would explain the Hebrew, conformably to the Sept. and Arabic, "himself." C. --- Joas did not probably marry two at once. Salien, the year of the world 3766. --- Amasias was born of Joadan, chap, xxv. 1. M. --- The high priest considered Joas as his son, being married to his aunt. H. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:1-14

1-14 Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiada himself. It is easier to build temples, than to be temples to God. But the repairing of places for public worship is a good work, which all should promote. And many a good work would be done that now lies undone, if active men would put it forward. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 24:1-14

The Good Rule of Joash During Jehoiada's Life v. 1. Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, having been a mere infant when his aunt saved his life, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba. v. 2. And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada, the priest. A single man who, like this venerable priest, adheres firmly to the Word of the Lord may be a very strong moral support for the whole Church. v.... read more
