2 Chronicles 24:15

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died,
&c.] A very old man; few at this time arrived to such an age; he was a rare instance:

One hundred and thirty years old was he when he died;
the oldest man we read of from the times of Moses, and older than he by ten years.

13 The workers labored hard, and the restoration progressed smoothly under their control until they had brought God's temple back to its original state and reinforced it.

14 As soon as they finished, they brought the remaining money to the king and Jehoiada. They used it to make equipment for the LORD's temple, including what was used for the service and the entirely burned offerings, pans, and other objects made of gold and silver. As long as Jehoiada lived, the entirely burned offerings were regularly offered in the LORD's temple.
