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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

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 24:4

(4) Was minded.—Literally, it became with the heart of Joash (2 Chronicles 6:8; 2 Chronicles 9:1; 1 Kings 8:18).To repair.—See margin to 2 Chronicles 15:8. “To restore” is perhaps the best modern equivalent of the Hebrew term. The account of the restoration of the Temple is given here in different language from what we find in the parallel passage, which is not very clear.The chronicler appears to have paraphrased the account he found in his authority. The Levites are not mentioned in Kings. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:5

(5) Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money.—This is the chronicler’s interpretation of “Let the priests take it to themselves, each from his own acquaintance” (Kings). The priests and Levites of the different districts were to collect the moneys due to the sanctuary, each in his own neighbourhood.And see that ye hasten the matter.—Literally, and, for your part, hasten ye in regard to the matter (comp. 2 Chronicles 18:8); and the Levites hastened not. This agrees with... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:6

(6) And the king called for Jehoiada.—So 2 Kings 12:7.The chief.—Literally, the head, i.e., of the sacerdotal caste. Usually kôhçn, “priest,” is added, as in 2 Chronicles 19:11; 2 Chronicles 26:20. Kings has simply “the priest,” adding “and for the priests.”Why hast thou not required of the Levites.—Or, Why hast thou not attended to the Levites (comp. 2 Chronicles 31:9), that they might bring . . .? (i.e., seen about the Levites bringing). LXX., Διὰ τί οὐκ ἐπεσκέψω περὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν τοῦ... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:7

(7) For the sons of Athaliah.—There is nothing corresponding to the statements of this verse in the parallel account. Literally, For Athaliah, the evildoer (or, who did wickedly, 2 Chronicles 20:35), her sons had broken down (Isaiah 5:5; Psalms 80:14) the house of God. Ahaziah and his elder brothers, and perhaps other relatives, may be intended. The young princes thus gratified the queen’s hatred of the exclusive cultus of Jehovah. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 22:3-4.) Perhaps some portions of the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:8

(8) And at the king’s commandment they made.—Literally, And the king said (commanded), and they made. (Comp. 2 Kings 12:9 : “And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid;” details characteristic of a more original account.)And set it without—i.e., outside of the Temple proper. The chest stood in the court, just inside the gate. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:9

(9) And they made a proclamation.—Literally, uttered a voice (or cry) in Judah. The phrase (nathan qôl) occurs here only in this sense. (Comp. Proverbs 1:20.)To bring in to the Lord.—Comp. 2 Chronicles 24:6. The meaning is, To bring into the Temple, for the Lord.The collection.—Tax, or impost.This verse, and the next one also, are peculiar to the chronicle. The writer is fond of dwelling on the willingness of the people in the good old time to contribute to the cause of religion; doubtless, by... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 24:11

(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
