2Ch 24:1-14. Joash Reigns Well All the Days of Jehoiada. 1-3. Joash ... began to reign--(See on 2Ki 12:1-3).
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:1-14
Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiada himself. It is easier to build temples, than to be temples to God. But the repairing of places for public worship is a good work, which all should promote. And many a good work would be done that now lies undone, if active men would put it forward.
