2 Chronicles 24:1

CHAPTER XXIV

Joash begins to reign when seven years old, and reigns well

all the days of Jehoiada the priest, 1-3.

He purposes to repair the temple of God; and makes a

proclamation that the people should bring in the money

prescribed by Moses, 4-9.

They all contribute liberally; and the different artificers

soon perfect the work, 10-13.

The rest of the money is employed to form utensils for the

temple, 14.

Jehoiada dies, 15, 16.

And the people after his death become idolaters, 17, 18.

Prophets are sent unto them, 19.

And among the rest Zechariah the son of Jehoiada, who testifies

against them; and they stone him to death, 20-22.

The Syrians come against Jerusalem, and spoil it, 23, 24.

Joash is murdered by his own servants, 25, 26.

His acts, 27.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXIV

Verse 2 Chronicles 24:1. Joash was seven years old] As he was hidden six years in the temple, and was but seven when he came to the throne, he could have been but one year old when he was secreted by his aunt; see on 2 Chronicles 22:10.
