Commentary
Joash was the youngest person to ever become a king as recorded in the Bible. He became a king at the age of seven. And he ruled for forty years in Jerusalem. In all, he was forty-seven years when he died. His life was very eventful. This is a recap of his timeline:
Joash reigns well all the days of Jehoiada, 2Ch 24:1-14. Jehoiada dies; is buried honorably; Joash falls into idolatry; He kills Zechariah the son of Jehoiada, 2Ch 24:15-22. He is spoiled by the Syrians; slain by Zabad and Jehozabad: Amaziah succeeds him, 2Ch 24:23-27.
A great part of his story is explained on 2Ki 12:1-21.
