Commentary
4 notes on this verseBut Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died,.... A very old man; few at this time arrived to such an age; he was a rare instance: One hundred and thirty years old was he when he died; the oldest man we read of from the times of Moses, and older than he by ten years.
This site's exposition
waxed old, and was full
on 2 Chronicles 24:15-16
Jehoiada dies at a hundred and thirty, a span the text sets down without comment, and the honor that follows stands out to every commentator who notes it: he is buried in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, toward God and toward his house. Keil and Bennett call it an honor without parallel for a priest, a king's grave given for a life of service rather than royal blood. The verse sets up the reversal to come, for the son Jehoiada raised will not extend the same honor to the son Jehoiada leaves behind.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Well, Jehoiada finished his course with honour; but the little religion that Joash had was all buried in his grave, and, after his death, both king and kingdom miserably degenerated. See how much one head may sustain, and what a great judgment to any prince or people the death of godly, zealous, useful men is.

An hundred and thirty years old - Most critics suppose the number in the text to be corrupt, and suggest 103 or 83 in its stead.
