Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:15

Theological / Devotional

But Jehoiada waxed old. This section (vs. 15-22) dealing with the death and burial of Jehoiada and of the apostasy of Joash after the aged priest’s death, is not found in Kings.

An hundred and thirty. From the days of the Exodus downward, the Bible contains no record of anyone’s having reached an age equal to that of Jehoiada. Since Joash reigned 40 years (v. 1), Jehoiada must have been over 90 years old when the plot against Athaliah was carried into execution and Joash placed on the throne.
