2 Chronicles 24:14 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-14

This account of Joash's good beginnings we had as it stands here 2 Kgs. 12:1-21, though the latter part of this chapter, concerning his apostasy, we had little of there. What is good in men we should take all occasions to speak of and often repeat it; what is evil we should make mention of but sparingly, and no more than is needful. We shall here only observe, 1. That it is a happy thing for young people, when they are setting out in the world, to be under the direction of those that are wise... read more

And when they had finished it ,.... The repairs of the house, all that were necessary: they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada : that is, the overseers, when they had paid the workmen, brought what was left of the money collected to the king and the priest, to dispose of as they should think fit: whereof were made vessels for the house of the Lord ; in the room of such that Athaliah and her sons had taken away, and converted to the use of Baal; for though it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

The sad and strange unreliableness of human disposition and life here. One of the strangest of all the sadnesses of human life is the uncertainty and unreliableness of human disposition, which it is so constantly exposing to view. Not only has the fairest promise vanished (like the sun of many a morning) long before the character could be supposed to be firm or even fairly formed, but after the period justly esteemed critical has passed, after fruit has set, and even after some fruit has... read more

Church renovation. We have an interesting description of a very old instance of— I. CHURCH RENOVATION . Here were all the elements that ordinarily occur. 1 . Dilapidation, or the condition of being out of repair. In this case there had been profanation, deliberate injury, spoliation ( 2 Chronicles 24:7 ); but always there will be waste and decay even in "the house of the Lord." The elements of nature do not spare the most sacred sanctuary. 2 . An energetic leader. ... read more

And to offer withal. The insertion of the italic type in the Authorized Version "withal" unnecessarily helps suggest uncertainty in this rendering, while the Revised Version gives that word in the ordinary type; margin, both Authorized Version and Revised Version, gives "pestles." The Hebrew word is ( הַעֲלוֹת ) the hiph. turin, of the familiar verb עָלָה or plural of עֲלי with article prefixed; this word, however, seems to occur only once ( Proverbs 27:22 ), and then in the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

Joash and Jehoiada (24:1-27)The reign of the new king Joash showed how a strong and godly priesthood was necessary for the proper functioning of the Davidic kings. As long as he was under the influence of the high priest Jehoiada, Joash encouraged true worship among his people. After Jehoiada died, Joash turned away from God and encouraged Canaanite worship. For this he came under God’s judgment. Even his death was a punishment, notes the Chronicler, because he had murdered the priest who... 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
