And Jehoiada took for him two wives,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)reformed
Athaliahs destruction of the seed royal had left Joash without a natural successor, and his marriage at the earliest suitable age, was, therefore, a matter of state policy. One of his wives in question was probably Jehoaddan of Jerusalem, the mother of Amaziah 2Ch 25:1, who must have been taken to wife by Joash as early as his 21st year.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)evangelical
Jehoiada took for him two wives--As Jehoiada was now too old to contract such new alliances, the generality of interpreters apply this statement to the young king.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed
Foreign inducements may push men on to that which is good who are not actuated by a living principle of grace in their hearts. In the outward expressions of devotion it is possible that those who have only the form of godliness may out-strip those who have the power of it.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
2 Chronicles — Solomon to the exile — retold through the southern kings only. A priestly history that keeps its lens on the temple, on reform kings, and on the repentance formula (7:14) that will be quoted in a thousand sermons.
