2 Chronicles 24:1 KJV

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

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

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

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

The reform under Joash was really due to the influence of Jehoiada the priest. This is clearly indicated in the statement of the chronicler that "Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest." During this period the king would seem to have been honestly zealous in endeavoring to re-establish the true worship of God. The reform center is, as always in this Book, around the Temple. "They set up the House of God in its state, and strengthened it."... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

2 Chronicles 24:1-: . Joash as king; his restoration of the Temple. There are some significant points of difference between this account and that of 2 K. According to the latter, the house of God having fallen into disrepair, Joash commands that certain dues and free-will offerings of the people are to be utilised by the priests for undertaking the repairs; the priests, however, while taking the money, do nothing for the repair of the Temple. As the result of a protest against this on the... read more
