2 Chronicles 24:21

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:21-22

What an awful state is Joash fallen into! see, Reader! how faithfulness brings forth the glorious crown of martyrdom. Do you not suppose that at the last day, when Jesus comes to be glorified in his saints, his holy army of martyrs, who have really sealed the testimony of his truth with their blood, will appear with peculiar marks of distinction amidst the throng? I am inclined to think that this Zechariah is the same of whom our Lord speaks, Matthew 23:35 . For though he is said to be the son... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 24:15-27

15-27 See what a great judgment on any prince or people, the death of godly, zealous, useful men is. See how necessary it is that we act in religion from inward principle. Then the loss of a parent, a minister, or a friend, will not be losing our religion. Often both princes and inferior people have been flattered to their ruin. True grace alone will enable a man to bring forth fruit unto the end. Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, being filled with the Spirit of prophecy, stood up, and told the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 24:15-27

The Defection of Joash and its Punishment v. 15. But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died, he lived to reach an unusually great age; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. v. 16. And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, giving him one of the highest honors which could be bestowed upon any man in Judah, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and toward His house. This was, as in many similar cases, followed by a strange reaction... read more

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'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

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:1-27

2 Chronicles 24:0 I. Josiah was an early seeker. At the age of eight he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and at sixteen he began to seek the God of his father David with more earnestness than ever. And he found Him, and became a wonder unto many, a royal miracle of grace. This boy will condemn you if you are not an early seeker of God, you who have so many more encouragements than he had. God expects you to seek early; you can seek early, and early seekers are sure finders.... read more
