2 Cronache 24:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:3

And Jehoiada took for him two wives
Not for himself; he had a wife who was aunt to King Joash, and he had sons who were concerned with him in anointing him, ( 2 Chronicles 22:11 ) ( 23:11 ) and was now upwards of one hundred years of age; but for the king, when he was at an age fit for marriage, he advised him to marry, and proposed wives to him, whom he thought would be agreeable; for, observing what mischief was done both in church and state through Jehoram's marrying Athaliah, he was desirous of preventing any such disagreeable marriage; and as the young king was in all things guided and directed by him, so he was in this; and no doubt they were good women he pitched upon, and proposed to the king; one of them was Jehoadan, ( 2 Chronicles 25:1 ) , but the name of the other we know not:

and he begat sons and daughters;
how many is not said, nor do we read of the names of any of them, but of Amaziah who succeeded him.

2 Cronache 24:3 In-Context

1 Joas avea sette anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò quarant’anni a Gerusalemme. Sua madre si chiamava Tsibia da Beer-Sceba.

2 Joas fece ciò ch’è giusto agli occhi dell’Eterno durante tutto il tempo che visse il sacerdote Jehoiada.

3 E Jehoiada prese per lui due mogli, dalle quali egli ebbe de’ figliuoli e delle figliuole.

4 Dopo queste cose venne in cuore a Joas di restaurare la casa dell’Eterno.

5 Radunò i sacerdoti e i Leviti, e disse loro: "Andate per le città di Giuda, e raccogliete anno per anno in tutto Israele del danaro per restaurare la casa dell’Iddio vostro; e guardate di sollecitar la cosa". Ma i Leviti non s’affrettarono.
