When it seemed a withered root in a dry ground, to see what they despaired of ever seeing?a king of the house of David, what a pleasing surprise was it to them!

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 23:18

2 Chronicles 23:18. Jehoiada appointed the offices, &c. Or rather, restored, for there was no new appointment of offices or officers, but the old officers were restored to their respective offices. The Hebrew literally translated is, He put the offices of the house of the Lord into the hand of the priests, &c. For in the time of the idolatrous kings, and of Athaliah, those offices had probably been disposed of to persons of other tribes, partly to gratify their wicked friends,... read more

2 Chronicles 23:18. Of the priests the Levites— Of the priests, and of the Levites. Houbigant. REFLECTIONS.—1st, Six years the usurped dominion of Athaliah lasted; but, by the prudence and courage of Jehoiada, she is hurled from her bloody throne, and the rightful heir restored, 2 Kings 11:4. 2nd, Athaliah's impotent attempt hastens her ruin: the people were too tired of her government to afford her any assistance; she fell, therefore, a just sacrifice to the manes of her murdered family.
