Theological / Devotional

The rest of the acts. The regular formula closing the account of the reign of a king occurs in vs. 12 and 13. A formal record of Joash of Israel is found in vs. 10 to 13. This Joash is mentioned again in v. 25 (as Jehoash), but in a section dealing primarily with the oppressions of Syria during the reigns of both Jehoahaz and Jehoash of Israel (vs. 22-25) and also in ch. 14:8-14 in a section dealing with the reign of Amaziah of Judah. However, this latter section is followed by another formal closing formula of the reign of this same Jehoash (ch. 14:15, 16) in practically the same words as in (ch. 13:12, 13).
