2 Chronicles 24
1. Joash reigns well all the days of Jehoiada
4. He gives order for the repair of the temple
15. Jehoiada's death and honorable burial
17. Joash, falling into idolatry, slays Zechariah the son of Jehoiada
23. Joash is spoiled by the Syrians, and slain by Zabad and Jehozabad
27. Amaziah succeeds him














(4) Was minded.--Literally, it became with the heart of Joash (2Chronicles 6:8; 2Chronicles 9:1; 1Kings 8:18).

To repair.--See margin to 2Chronicles 15:8. "To restore" is perhaps the best modern equivalent of the Hebrew term. The account of the restoration of the Temple is given here in different language from what we find in the parallel passage, which is not very clear.

The chronicler appears to have paraphrased the account he found in his authority. The Levites are not mentioned in Kings.

Verse 4. - To repair. The idea of this verb (חָדַשׁ) is that of making new.
