2 Chroniques 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 Chroniques 24:3 In-Context

1 Joas était âgé de sept ans quand il devint roi, et il régna quarante ans à Jérusalem; sa mère s'appelait Tsibia, de Béer-Shéba.

2 Joas fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Éternel, pendant toute la vie de Jéhojada, le sacrificateur.

3 Et Jéhojada lui donna deux femmes, dont il eut des fils et des filles.

4 Après cela Joas eut la pensée de réparer la maison de l'Éternel.

5 Il assembla donc les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et leur dit: Allez par les villes de Juda, et amassez de l'argent par tout Israël, pour réparer la maison de votre Dieu d'année en année, et hâtez cette affaire. Mais les Lévites ne se hâtèrent point.
