2 Chronicles 24:16

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings
In honour to him, he having been the preserver of the king, and of the kingdom, and being by marriage a relation of the present king, uncle to him:

both towards God, and towards his house;
both for the restoring the pure worship of God, and the repairs of the temple.

Burnt offerings were given every day in the Temple of the Lord while Jehoiada was alive.
