Clarke's Notes on the Bible
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.
