Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign,.... So that he reigned twenty one or twenty two years contemporary with Jehu's reign, for Jehu reigned twenty eight years:

and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem; the same number of years David and Solomon reigned:

and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba; a city in the tribe of Simeon, in the extreme part of the land of Canaan southward; her name in the Chaldee dialect is Tabitha, the same with Dorcas in Greek, Acts 9:36.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XII

Jehoash reigns well under the instructions of Jehoiada the

priest, 1-3.

He directs the repairing of the temple; the account of what

was done, 4-16.

Hazael takes Gath; and, proceeding to besiege Jerusalem, is

prevented by Jehoash, who gives him all the treasures and

hallowed things of the house of the Lord, 17, 18.

The servants of Jehoash conspire against and slay him, 19-21.
