S E C O N D C H R O N I C L E S CHAP. XXIV. We have here the history of the reign of Joash, the progress of which, and especially its termination, were not of a piece with its beginning, nor shone with so much lustre. How wonderfully he was preserved for the throne, and placed in it, we read before; now here we are told how he began in the spirit, but ended in the flesh. I. In the beginning of his time, while Jehoiada lived, he did well; particularly, he took care to put the temple in good repair, 2 Chronicles 24:1-14 . II. In the latter end of his time, after Jehoiada's death, he apostatized from God, and his apostasy was his ruin. 1. He set up the worship of Baal again ( 2 Chronicles 24:15-18 ), though warned to the contrary, 2 Chronicles 24:19 . 2. He put Zechariah the prophet to death because he reproved him for what he had done, 2 Chronicles 24:20-22 . 3. The judgments of God came upon him for it. The Syrians invaded him, 2 Chronicles 24:23 ; 2 Chronicles 24:24 . He was struck with sore diseases; his own servants conspired against him and slew him; and, as a mark of infamy upon him, he was not buried in the burying-place of the kings, 2 Chronicles 24:25-27 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-14" class="com-number"
