_BUT THEY GAVE THAT TO THE WORKMEN, AND REPAIRED THEREWITH THE HOUSE OF THE LORD._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

1-16 It is a great mercy to young people, especially to all young men of rank, like Jehoash, to have those about them who will instruct them to do what is right in the sight of the Lord; and they do wisely and well for themselves, when willing to be counselled and ruled. The temple was out of repair; Jehoash orders the repair of the temple. The king was zealous. God requires those who have power, to use it for the support of religion, the redress of grievances, and repairing of decays. The king employed the priests to manage, as most likely to be hearty in the work. But nothing was done effectually till the twenty-third year of his reign. Another method was therefore taken. When public distributions are made faithfully, public contributions will be made cheerfully. While they were getting all they could for the repair of the temple, they did not break in upon the stated maintenance of t...

WAR OF JOASH WITH HAZAEL, AND HIS DEATH BY A CONSPIRACY. 2 KINGS 12:1 The writer of Kings is extremely brief and incomplete in his account of the reign of Joash. He seems to have had a great tenderness for him, and to have determined that he would put on record nothing to his discredit. We have to go to Chronicles ...

2 KINGS 12. REIGN OF JOASH AND HIS REPAIR OF THE TEMPLE. 2 Kings 12:1 is in the usual annalistic style of the Deuteronomist. It is followed by a curious extract from the Temple records (2 Kings 12:4 ff.), similar to those found in 2 Kings 16:10 and 2 Kings 22:3 to 2 Kings 23:24. This relates to the provision of money for the repair of the Temple. Two things deserve attention (2 Kings 12:4). The first is that the sources of the Temple revenue are given as ...

B. THE REIGN OF JOASH IN JUDAH 11:21-12:21 Like so many of the Hebrew monarchs, Joash got off to a great start. As long as his protector and adviser Jehoiada was living, the young king pursued the right course. But when the old priest died, Joash fell into the snare of pride and apostasy. After a brief introductory note (2 Kings 11:21 to 2 Kings 12:3), the author discusses at length the major accomplishment of the reign of Joash, the repair of the Temple (2 Kings 12:4-16). He then briefly narrates Joash's humiliating capitulation to Hazael the Aramean (2 Kings 12:17-18), and the ignominious death of this king at the han

THE LAST KINGS OF *ISRAEL AND *JUDAH BOOK OF 2 KINGS _PHILIP SMITH_ CHAPTER 12 JOASH REPAIRS THE *LORD’S *TEMPLE V1 Joash became the king in the 7th year of Jehu’s rule. (Jehu was the king of *Israel.) Joash ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah. She was from Beersheba. V2 Joash pleased the *Lord while Jehoiada the priest taught him. V3 However, Joash did not remove the places where people *worshipped on the hills. People continued to offer *sacrifices there and they continued to burn *incense there. Joash ruled for 40 years. Many people think that he ruled during the period 835 to 796 *B.C.. Joash pleased God while Jehoiada taught him. Joash did not know either of his own parents. A nurse brought him up. And it seems that Je
