Joash . Joash , יואש [Strong's H3101] , or יאש [Strong's H3101] , is merely an abbreviation of Jehoash , יהואש [Strong's H3060] , by the elision of ה , hay , and here also of ו , wav. 2 Kings 11 . 21 , 2 Kings 12 . 1 , Jehoash , 1 Chronicles 3 . 11
seven years old . As Joash was hidden six years in the temple , and was but seven when he came to the throne , he could have been but one year old when secreted by his aunt.

took for him . 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. He was born in the reign of Solomon , and lived through six successive reigns; and must , on any computation , have been upwards of 100 years old when Joash began to reign. 2 Chronicles 24 . 15 , Genesis 21 . 21 , Genesis 24 . 4

The Lord . 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!
