Jehoiada
Joash - On the murder of his brethren by Athaliah, he was saved by his aunt Jehosheba, the wife of
Jehoiada the high priest, who hid him for six years in one of the rooms of the temple. When Joash was 7 years of age,
Jehoiada planned with Azariah and others, to place young Joash upon the throne, and to dethrone his grandmother, the wicked Athaliah; and the young king was crowned in the court of the temple with great solemnity. Joash behaved himself well while

Jehoiada, placed him on the throne of his ancestors, and freed the country from the tyranny and idolatries of Athaliah. For at least twenty-three years, while
Jehoiada lived, his reign was very prosperous; but after the death of
Jehoiada, Joash fell into the hands of bad advisers, at whose suggestion he revived the worship of Baal and Ashtaroth. When he was rebuked for this by Zechariah, the son of

Jehoiada with the whole assembly "made a covenant with the king in the temple, saying, Behold the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah hath said of the sons of David" (
2 Chronicles 23:3), or, as
2 Kings 11:4 expresses it, "Jehoiada made a covenant with the rulers over hundreds, the captains, and the guard, taking an oath of them and showing them the king's son. " The Levite temple servants entering upon the sabbath service (relieving guard), and those being relieved,
Jehoiada directed, under the captains of the royal body "guard" (
2 Kings 11:11, halberdiers ) to keep watch, the former in three divisions, the latter in two.
Jehoiada furnished them with David's weapons stored in the temple. ...
Those relieved on the sabbath, whom
Jehoiada still retained (for "he dismissed not the courses,"
2 Chronicles 23:8) kept watch of Jehovah's house about (in respect to) the king (
2 Kings 11:7) in two divisions; these answer to (
2 Chronicles 23:5) "all the people (the remainder besides the three bodies under the captains) in the courts of the house of Jehovah" (
2 Kings 11:13;
2 Kings 11:19). "
Jehoiada, having enthroned Joash, restored the temple worship as David had settled it, it having been neglected under the idolatrous Athaliah.
Jehoiada made a solemn covenant between the king and all the people, "that they should be the Lord's people. " Joash repaired the house by his help, "doing that which was right in the sight of Jehovah" all the days "wherein
Jehoiada the priest instructed him. "
Jehoiada then took a chest, with a hole made in the lid, and set it against the outer wall beside the burnt offering altar on the right, by the S.
Jehoiada died (
2 Chronicles 24:15-16) at last, 130 years old, "full of days. his jealous care, amidst the irregularities of a revolution, that none should "come into Jehovah's house save the priests and ministering Levites," also that Athaliah should be thrust forth outside "the ranges," and not be slain "in the house of Jehovah,"
2 Chronicles 23:6;
2 Chronicles 23:14), and zeal for the Lord's honour and the purity of His worship, were conspicuous in
Jehoiada.
Jehoiada had saved Joash's life and throne, and had been God's providential instrument in preventing the extinction of David's line, which then hung upon the one seemingly frail thread, but which could not be broken since to it belonged the promises of Messiah; he had stifled the idolatry transplanted into Judah by Joram's marriage into apostate Ahab's house, and restored Jehovah's worship. " The fickle people, princes, and king soon forgot all his benefits, and slew his son Zechariah "in the court of the Lord's house," (the very scene of
Jehoiada's reverent care to remove pollution,
2 Chronicles 23:14, in restoring the throne and the temple,) for his faithful reproofs of their idolatry (
2 Chronicles 24:15-16;
2 Chronicles 24:20-22). This accords with the false prophet at Babylon, Shemaiah's, accusation by letter against Zephaniah, who was promoted to
Jehoiada's place, for ingratitude to God in not apprehending Jeremiah, seeing that (in Shemaiah's view) "the Lord had made him priest in the stead of
Jehoiada the priest" for this very purpose (
Jeremiah 29:25-29;
2 Kings 25:18)
Jehosh'Eba - (Jehovah's oath ), daughter of Joram king of Israel, and wife of
Jehoiada the high priest

Jehoiada, the high priest; and while Athaliah's executioners were murdering the rest, she conveyed Joash the son of Ahaziah away, and kept him and his nurse concealed in an apartment of the temple, during six years. In the seventh year, his uncle
Jehoiada being determined to place him on the throne of his ancestors, and procure the destruction of Athaliah, he engaged the priests and Levites, and the leading men in all the parts of the kingdom in his interest, and in a public assembly produced him, and made them take an oath of secrecy and fidelity to him. Athaliah, hearing the noise, made all haste to the temple; but when, to her astonishment, she saw the young king seated on a throne, she rent her clothes and cried out, "Treason!" But at the command of
Jehoiada, the guards seized and carried her out of the temple, putting all to the sword who offered to rescue or assist her; and then taking her to the stable gate belonging to the palace, there put her to death
Jeho-i'Ada - ) ...

Barachiah - is an account of the stoning of Zechariah the son of
Jehoiada (LXX Septuagint B has ‘Azariah’ for ‘Zechariah,’ but Lagarde prints ‘Zechariah’) in the court of the house of the Lord. ’s ‘son of Barachiah,’ when we should expect ‘son of
Jehoiada’? In
Isaiah 8:2 we read of Zechariah ‘son of Jeberechiah’ (the LXX Septuagint has ὑιόν βαραχίου), in
Zechariah 1:1 of Zechariah the son of Berechiah the son of Iddo (LXX Septuagint, τὸν τοῦ Βαραχίου ὑιὸν Ἀδδώ). Further, there seems to have been a tendency to identify Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo with Zechariah son of
Jehoiada, for the Targum of
Lamentations 3:20 calls the Zechariah of Chronicles ‘son of Iddo. ’ We might therefore suppose that Christ spoke of Zachariah, who was really son of
Jehoiada, as son of Barachiah, because the Jewish tradition of His age identified or confused the priest and the prophet; cf. the ‘priest and prophet’ applied to Zechariah son of
Jehoiada in Sanh. In this case the omission of υἱοῦ Βαραχίου from
Matthew 23:35 in א* would be due to someone who wondered at the ‘Barachiah’ instead of ‘Jehoiada. It is therefore argued that the Evangelist has either blundered by writing ‘of Barachiah’ in reminiscence of this event, when he should have written ‘of
Jehoiada,’ or that he is responsible for the whole of the clause in which this phrase occurs, and has put into Christ’s month an anachronistic statement
Chest - The two exceptions alluded to are (a) the "coffin" in which the bones of Joseph were carried from Egypt, (
Genesis 50:26 ) and (b) the "chest" in which
Jehoiada the priest collected the alms for the repairs of the temple
Jeberechiah - If Berechiah was father of the house, not of the individuals, the "Zachariah son of Baruch" in
Matthew 23:35 (where "Zechariah the son of
Jehoiada,"
2 Chronicles 24:20, in the individual sense is meant) may be identical with Zechariah, son of Je ("Jah ") berechiah
Zacharias - The same as the sire of
Jehoiada; Joash ungratefully forgetting that he owed his throne to
Jehoiada slew Zacharias for his faithful reproof: "Why transgress ye the commandments of Jehovah, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken Jehovah, He hath also forsaken you. Contrast
Jehoiada's reverent care not to slay Athaliah in the temple precincts (
2 Chronicles 23:14;
2 Chronicles 24:20-22;
2 Chronicles 24:25). Joash slew other "sons" of
Jehoiada besides Zacharias. Barachias may have been a second name of
Jehoiada, meaning "the blessed," because he preserved David's house in the person of Joash from the murderous Athaliah, slew her, and restored the rightful king
Joash - When his grandmother Athaliah attempted to cut off all the seed royal, Joash, then an infant, was hidden and preserved by his aunt, Jehosheba, the wife of
Jehoiada the high priest. When he was about seven years old,
Jehoiada succeeded in placing him, as the preserved seed of David, on the throne, and putting Athaliah to death. ...
During the life of
Jehoiada, Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and with zeal caused the temple to be repaired. Zechariah, son of
Jehoiada, attempted to call them back to the worship of God, but by command of the king he was stoned to death in the court of the temple
Athaliah - Six years afterwards he was brought from his place of refuge, and crowned by the bold and faithful high priest

...
One of the "captains of hundreds" associated with
Jehoiada in restoring king Jehoash to the throne (
2 Chronicles 23:1 )
Jehosheba -
Jehoiada's wife. (See
Jehoiada. Zechariah,
Jehoiada's successor, one of them, was afterward slain, a martyr for the truth
Zacharias - There has been much dispute who this Zacharias was, but there can be little or no doubt that the allusion is to Zechariah, the son of
Jehoiada,

Jeho'Hanan - ) ...

Jehoiada commanded her to be led forth to death (
2 Kings 11:13-20 )
Zachari'as - Many of the Greek fathers have maintained that the father of John the Baptist is the person to whom our Lord alludes but there can be little or no doubt that the allusion is to Zechariah, the son of
Jehoiada, (
2 Chronicles 24:20,21 ) and he may have been called "the son" of Barachias from his grandfather
Athaliah - The persons active in this were Jehosheba, sister of Ahaziah, and her husband
Jehoiada, the chief priest
Jehoiada - It is recorded that Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of
Jehoiada; but on the death of the priest, the king forgot his kindness and slew Zechariah his son
Athaliah - Finally,
Jehoiada, the priest, led a revolt, crowning the child Josiah as king and bringing about Athaliah's death (
2 Kings 11:5-20 )
Joel - It would also explain why Joel makes no mention of the reigning Judean king, for the government was largely in the hands of the priest
Jehoiada (2 Kings 11;
2 Kings 12:1). The prominence of
Jehoiada could partly account for Joel’s interest in the temple and its services (
Joel 1:9;
Joel 1:13;
Joel 2:12;
Joel 2:15-17)
Athaliah - Ahaziah's youngest son Jonah alone escaped her murderous hand, secreted by Jehosheba, his aunt, daughter of Jehoram (probably not by Athaliah, but another wife) and wife of the priest
Jehoiada (
2 Chronicles 22:11-12). For six years he was hid, but in the seventh year

Jehoiada, the high priest in the times of Ahaziah and Joash. After the death of
Jehoiada he boldly condemned both the king and the people for their rebellion against God (
2 Chronicles 24:20 ), which so stirred up their resentment against him that at the king's commandment they stoned him with stones, and he died "in the court of the house of the Lord" (24:21)
Zacharias - "Barachias" here may be another name for
Jehoiada, as some think
Joash or Jehoash - Being rescued by Jehoshebah his aunt, and secluded six years in the temple, he was raised to the throne when seven years of age through the faithful care of
Jehoiada; and while this venerable man survived, Joash served God and prospered
Zachariah, Zacharias - The reference is clearly to the death of Zechariah, son of
Jehoiada (
2 Chronicles 24:20-22 ); and as Chronicles was the last book of the Jewish canon, the phrase ‘ from Abel to Zechariah ’ would be equivalent to our ‘from Genesis to Revelation
Zechariah - Son of
Jehoiada the priest: he rebuked the people for their idolatry, and by commandment of the king he was stoned by the people in the court of the temple
Azariah -

After
Jehoiada’s death, Joash and his people drifted into idolatry and even killed a priest who rebuked them (

Zechari'ah - ) ...
Son of the high priest
Jehoiada, in the reign of Joash king of Judah (
2 Chronicles 24:20 ) and therefore the king's cousin. After the death of
Jehoiada, Zechariah probably succeeded to his office, and in attempting to check the reaction in favor of idolatry which immediately followed he fell a victim to a conspiracy formed against him by the king, and was stoned in the court of the temple
Jehoram - His daughter Jehosheba was married to the high priest
Jehoiada

Jehoiada; JOASH
Hazael - He took Gath and even "set his face to go up to Jerusalem" (
2 Kings 12:17) in Joash's reign (
2 Chronicles 24:23-24), "and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people" (it was God's righteous retribution, for it was "the princes of Judah" who with flattering "obeisance" at
Jehoiada's death persuaded Joash to "leave the house of the Lord God of their fathers, to serve groves and idols,"
2 Kings 12:17-18, and stoned Zechariah son of
Jehoiada, who "testified against them,"
2 Kings 12:19-22), and sent all the spoil to Damascus; Jehovah delivering "a very great host into the hand of a small company of Syrians, because the Jews had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers" (
2 Kings 12:23-24)
Burial - To give a place in one's own sepulchre was a special honor; as the children of Heth offered Abraham, and as
Jehoiada was buried among the kings (
Genesis 23:6;
2 Chronicles 24:16)
Samaritans - ...
Upon the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple, the religion of the Samaritans received another alteration on the following occasion; one of the sons of

Jehoiada. ) Joash apostatized at
Jehoiada's death. Like Jehoram he was excluded from the royal sepulchres, whereas
Jehoiada, his subject, was honoured with burial there
Zacharias - ]'>[2] ), though accepted by Baronius, that this Zacharias was slain by Herod between the Temple and the brazen altar, has no historical basis; it is a mere guess to explain the difficulty, that whereas many of the prophets were martyred at a later date than Zechariah the son of
Jehoiada (
2 Chronicles 24:20), yet our Lord, summing up the list of such murders, begins with Abel and ends with Zechariah (
Matthew 23:35)

Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my lord the king say so too

Deuteronomy 17:14 deals rather with moral and religious requirements, as no doubt did
Jehoiada’s covenant (
2 Kings 11:17 ). insurrection of Jehu ‘the captain’ (
2 Kings 9:1-37 ), and
Jehoiada’s care to get control of the army (
2 Kings 11:4 ).
Jehoiada relies on his personal influence and acts in concert with the chiefs of the army (
2 Kings 11:1-21 ;
1 Kings 12:6 ), and even after the Exile Joshua is only the fellow of Zerubbabel
