On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In this, how unrighteous soever they were (vengeance was not theirs, nor did it belong to them to repay), God was righteous; and this was not the only time that he let even kings know that it was at their peril if they touched his anointed and did his prophets any harm, and that, when he comes to make inquisition for blood, the blood of prophets will run the account very high.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the L ORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And slew Joash - We are told, in the Chronicles, that his murdering the prophet, Jehoiada's son, was the provocation. In this, how unrighteous so ever they were, yet the Lord was righteous.
