In the seventh year of Jehu, Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia, of Bersabee.
Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
Ὢν ἐτῶν ἑπτὰ Ἰωὰς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ. καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Σαβιὰ ἐκ Βηρσαβεέ.

24:2 Fecitque quod bonum est coram Domino cunctis diebus Jojadae sacerdotis.
And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.

24:3 Accepit autem ei Jojada uxores duas, e quibus genuit filios et filias.
*H And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.
Ver. 3. Him. Joas, as Prot. (H.) and most interpreters understand it, with the Syr. &c. Joiada was too old to think of marrying again, as the Rabbins would explain the Heb. conformably to the Sept. and Arab. "himself." C. — Joas did not probably marry two at once. Salien, A. 3766. — Amasias was born of Joadan. C. xxv. 1. M. — The high priest considered Joas as his son, being married to his aunt. H.
Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰωδαὲ δύο γυναῖκας ἑαυτῷ, καὶ ἐγέννησαν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας.

24:5 Congregavitque sacerdotes et Levitas, et dixit eis : Egredimini ad civitates Juda, et colligite de universo Israel pecuniam ad sartatecta templi Dei vestri per singulos annos, festinatoque hoc facite. Porro Levitae egere negligentius.

*H And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
Ver. 5. Money. The half sicle, (Ex. xxx. 13. 4 K. xii. 4. C.) which at first was required for the tabernacle, and afterwards for the repairs of the temple. W.
Καὶ συνήγαγε τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐξέλθατε εἰς τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα, καὶ συναγάγετε ἀπὸ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἀργύριον κατισχῦσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐνιαυτὸν κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν, καὶ σπεύσατε λαλῆσαι· καὶ οὐκ ἔσπευσαν οἱ Λευῖται.

24:6 Vocavitque rex Jojadam principem, et dixit ei : Quare tibi non fuit curae, ut cogeres Levitas inferre de Juda et de Jerusalem pecuniam quae constituta est a Moyse servo Domini, ut inferret eam omnis multitudo Israel in tabernaculum testimonii ?
*H And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?
Ver. 6. Chief "priest," (v. 11,) where he is called the first. Heb. "the head priest."
Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωὰς τὸν Ἰωδαὲ τὸν ἄρχοντα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, διατί οὐκ ἐπεσκέψω περὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν τοῦ εἰσενέγκαι ἀπὸ Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸ κεκριμένον ὑπὸ Μωυσῆ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅτι ἐξεκκλησίασε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου;

24:7 Athalia enim impiissima, et filii ejus, destruxerunt domum Dei, et de universis quae sanctificata fuerant in templo Domini, ornaverunt fanum Baalim.
*H For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
Ver. 7. Children. All but Ochozias had been slain by the Arabs. The plural is often put for the singular. S. Jerom (Trad.) explains it of the priests of the idols, whom Athalia cherished as her own offspring.
Ὅτι Γοθολία ἦν ἡ ἄνομος, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῆς κατέσπασαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ γὰρ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου Κυρίου ἐποίησαν ταῖς Βααλίμ.

Exodus
30:12
When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned.
And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
Καὶ κηρυξάτωσαν ἐν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, εἰσενέγκαι Κυρίῳ καθὼς εἶπε Μωυσῆς παῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

*H And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going in they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
Ver. 10. That, &c. Heb. "till it was done," according to the law. Pagnin.
Καὶ ἔδωκαν πάντες ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, καὶ εἰσέφερον καὶ ἐνέβαλον εἰς τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἕως οὗ ἐπληρώθη.

24:11 Cumque tempus esset ut deferrent arcam coram rege per manus Levitarum (videbant enim multam pecuniam), ingrediebatur scriba regis, et quem primus sacerdos constituerat, effundebantque pecuniam quae erat in arca, porro arcam reportabant ad locum suum : sicque faciebant per singulos dies. Et congregata est infinita pecunia,
*H And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.
Ver. 11. From day. Lit. "every day," (H.) when the chest was replenished. M.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσέφερον τὸ γλωσσόκομον πρὸς τοὺς προστάτας τοῦ βασιλέως διὰ χειρὸς τῶν Λευιτῶν, καὶ ὡς εἶδον ὅτι ἐπλεόνασε τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ γραμματεὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ὁ προστάτης τοῦ ἱερέως τοῦ μεγάλου, καὶ ἐξεκένωσεν τὸ γλωσσόκομον, καὶ κατέστησαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ· οὕτως ἐποίουν ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας, καὶ συνήγαγον ἀργύριον πολύ.

24:12 quam dederunt rex et Jojada his qui praeerant operibus domus Domini : at illi conducebant ex ea caesores lapidum, et artifices operum singulorum ut instaurarent domum Domini : fabros quoque ferri et aeris, ut quod cadere coeperat, fulciretur.
And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ποιοῦσι τὰ ἔργα εἰς ἐργασίαν οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ ἐμισθοῦντο λατόμους καὶ τέκτονας ἐπισκευάσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ χαλκεῖς σιδήρου καὶ χαλκοῦ ἐπισκευάσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.

24:13 Egeruntque hi qui operabantur industrie, et obducebatur parietum cicatrix per manus eorum, ac suscitaverunt domum Domini in statum pristinum, et firmiter eam stare fecerunt.
And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
Καὶ ἐποίουν οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰ ἔργα, καὶ ἀνέβη μῆκος τῶν ἔργων ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνίσχυσαν.

24:14 Cumque complessent omnia opera, detulerunt coram rege et Jojada reliquam partem pecuniae : de qua facta sunt vasa templi in ministerium, et ad holocausta, phialae quoque, et cetera vasa aurea et argentea : offerebantur holocausta in domo Domini jugiter cunctis diebus Jojadae.
*H And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
Ver. 14. And for. Heb. "and to offer," such as (H.) "mortars." Prov. xxvii. 22. Eali is thus translated. C. — Prot. "and spoons and vessels."
Καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν, ἤνεγκαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πρὸς Ἰωδαὲ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ ἀργυρίου, καὶ ἐποίησαν σκεύη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, σκεύη λειτουργικὰ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων, καὶ θυΐσκας χρυσᾶς καὶ ἀργυρᾶς, καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου διαπαντὸς πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Ἰωδαέ.

24:15 Senuit autem Jojada plenus dierum, et mortuus est cum esset centum triginta annorum :
But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.

24:16 sepelieruntque eum in civitate David cum regibus, eo quod fecisset bonum cum Israel, et cum domo ejus.
*H And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.
Ver. 16. Israel, particularly to those of the kingdom of Juda. H. — His, David's, house, (M.) as he had restored the crown to his offspring.
Καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων, ὅτι ἐποίησεν ἀγαθωσύνην μετὰ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ.

24:17 Postquam autem obiit Jojada, ingressi sunt principes Juda, et adoraverunt regem : qui delinitus obsequiis eorum, acquievit eis.
*H And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.
Ver. 17. Worshipped. Heb. "bowed down to the king, and he hearkened to them." H. — The Jews say that the princes flattered him with the title of god, as he had been educated in the temple. E. — But this is improbable. C. — They petitioned for leave to re-establish the worship of Baal, (M.) and paid greater honours to the king than were becoming. D.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν Ἰωδαὲ εἰσῆλθον οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰούδα, καὶ προσεκύνησαν τὸν βασιλέα· τότε ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς.

*H And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
Ver. 18. Idols. Heb. "sorrows." Sept. "the Astartes and idols." C.
Καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον τὸν οἶκον Κυρίον Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐδούλευον ταῖς Ἀστάρταις καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις, καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ ἑπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ.

24:19 Mittebatque eis prophetas ut reverterentur ad Dominum, quos protestantes illi audire nolebant.
*H And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
Ver. 19. Them. Calling heaven and earth to witness (C.) the unity of God. H. — These prophets might have been performing their sacred commission ever since the reign of Josaphat; during which time Eliseus, Micheas, Jehu, and others, lived. C. xx. 14. and xviii. 27. C.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς προφήτας ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν· καὶ διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσαν.

24:20 Spiritus itaque Dei induit Zachariam filium Jojadae sacerdotem, et stetit in conspectu populi, et dixit eis : Haec dicit Dominus Deus : Quare transgredimini praeceptum Domini, quod vobis non proderit, et dereliquistis Dominum ut derelinqueret vos ?

*H The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?
Ver. 20. Priest, refers to Zacharias. Sept. "Azarias." H. — It is not certain whether this was the person whom Jesus Christ speaks, (Mat. xxiii. 35. C.) as S. Jerom believes; (ib.) or our Saviour alludes to one of the minor prophets, (T.) or to the father of the baptist. Baronius. H. — Sight. Heb. "above," perhaps on the steps between the two courts. C. — To make. Heb. "therefore hath he forsaken you."
Καὶ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐνέδυσε τὸν Ἀζαρίαν τὸν τοῦ Ἰωδαὲ τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ ἀνέστη ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, τί παραπορεύεσθε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου; καὶ οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεσθε· ὅτι ἐγκατελίπετε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς.

And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.

23:35
That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
*H And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.
Ver. 22. Require it. I commit my cause into his hands. M. — The vengeance of the Lord was not slack. H.
Καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη Ἰωὰς τοῦ ἐλέους οὗ ἐποίησεν Ἰωδαὲ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὡς ἀπέθνησκεν, εἶπεν, ἴδοι Κύριος καὶ κρινάτω.

Then Hazael, king of Syria, went up, and fought against Geth, and took it, and set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
- A.M. 3165.
*H And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
Ver. 23. Damascus. Hazael had before invaded Jerusalem. 4 K. xii. 17. The Syrian army, which routed Juda, was comparatively small. C. — The idolatrous princes now received the due punishment of their crimes, v. 17.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν συντέλειαν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν δύναμις Συρίας, καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ κατέφθειραν πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν ἀπέστειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαμασκοῦ.

*H And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
Ver. 24. Shameful, is not expressed in Heb. But the putting a king to the torture, (v. 25.) and upbraiding him with his ingratitude and perfidy, was a great indignity. H. — He had probably entered into engagements with Hazael, when he prevailed on him to depart, the year before. C. — Nabuchodonosor treated Sedecias in like manner. 4 K. xxv. 6. The author of the Heb. Trad. among the works of S. Jerom, (H.) asserts that the children of Joas were slain before his eyes, while the Syrians reproached him for the unjust murder of Zacharias. C.
Ὅτι ἐν ὀλίγοις ἀνδράσιν παρεγένετο δύναμις Συρίας, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς παρέδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν δύναμιν πολλὴν σφόδρα, ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπον Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν· καὶ μετὰ Ἰωὰς ἐποίησε κρίματα.

24:25 Et abeuntes dimiserunt eum in languoribus magnis : surrexerunt autem contra eum servi sui in ultionem sanguinis filii Jojadae sacerdotis, et occiderunt eum in lectulo suo, et mortuus est : sepelieruntque eum in civitate David, sed non in sepulchris regum.
*H And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Ver. 25. Servants. By whom the man is slain, who had murdered his spiritual father. W. — Son. Heb. "sons." See v. 7. Some think that the brothers of Zacharias were slain, that they might not attempt to revenge his death. — Kings. These sepulchres are amazingly beautiful and spacious. The doors are six feet high, and formed, like the rest, of solid stone, cut in the most elegant manner. Doubdan 26. C.
Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν μαλακίαις μεγάλαις, καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐν αἵμασιν υἱοῦ Ἰωδαὲ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέθανε· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ, καὶ οὐκ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τῶν βασιλέων.

24:26 Insidiati vero sunt ei Zabad filius Semaath Ammanitidis, et Jozabad filius Semmarith Moabitidis.
*H Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.
Ver. 26. Moabitess. Sept. read, "the Ammonite....and Moabite." See 4 K. xii. 21. H.

24:27 Porro filii ejus, ac summa pecuniae quae adunata fuerat sub eo, et instauratio domus Dei, scripta sunt diligentius in libro regum : regnavit autem Amasias filius ejus pro eo.
*H And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
Ver. 27. And. Sept. "And all his sons: for five came upon him," with the rest of the conspirators. H. — They have read differently. C. — Sum. Heb. "the greatness of the burden on him," (H.) imposed by the Syrians, (v. 24) or denounced by the prophets. Mossa is often taken for a prophetic menace. C. — More. Heb. "in the researches." Prot. "story of the book." Addo entitled his book Modross. C. xxii. 22. H. — Only some extracts from these works have come down to us. Esdras had them before him. The abridgments have occasioned their loss, as has been the case with many other excellent works. This was the more easy, as writing was not then so common. C.
καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ πάντες, καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ πέντε· καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ τὴν γραφὴν τῶν βασιλέων· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμασίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
