Not for himself , as the Jewish expositors suppose , but for Joash; for Jehoiada's advanced age renders it highly improbable that he should take them for himself.

These words were prophetic , and not imprecatory; and should be rendered as Houbigant proposes , in the future tense . "The Lord will look upon it , and avenge it." The event soon verified this prediction; for , before the year was expired , the Syrians came up against Jerusalem , and destroyed all the princes of the people , and Joash himself was slain in his bed by his own servants. Many circumstances served to aggravate this barbarous act. Zechariah was a high-priest and a prophet , upright and unblameable in the discharge of his high offices; this murder was perpetrated within the very precincts of the courts of the Lord; and this truly good man was by blood the nearest relative of Joash , and the son of the man who had save him from being murdered , and raised him to the throne!
