Commentary on 2 Kings 12:21

Theological / Devotional

Jozachar. Called Zabad the son of an Ammonitess (2 Chronicles 24:26). Jozachar means, “Jehovah has remembered.”

Jehozabad. Called “the son of Shimrith a Moabitess” (2 Chronicles 24:26). Jehozabad means “Jehovah has given.” There is an interesting coincidence between the names of these two conspirators and the last words that Jehoiada’s son, Zechariah, uttered when he was stoned at the command of Joash, “The Lord look upon it, and require it” (2 Chronicles 24:22), meaning, “Let the Lord see and give vengeance.” King Joash failed to remember the kindness of the priest Jehoiada toward him, but the Lord remembered and gave vengeance.
