2 Chronik 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 Chronik 24:3 In-Context

1 Sieben Jahre war Joas alt, als er König wurde, und er regierte vierzig Jahre zu Jerusalem; und der Name seiner Mutter war Zibja, von Beerseba.

2 Und Joas tat, was recht war in den Augen Jehovas, alle die Tage des Priesters Jojada.

3 Und Jojada nahm ihm zwei Weiber; und er zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

4 Und es geschah hernach, daß Joas im Herzen hatte, das Haus Jehovas zu erneuern.

5 Und er versammelte die Priester und die Leviten und sprach zu ihnen: Ziehet aus in die Städte Judas, und sammelt Geld ein von ganz Israel, um das Haus eures Gottes auszubessern von Jahr zu Jahr; und ihr sollt mit der Sache eilen. Aber die Leviten eilten nicht.
