On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The continuance of David's seed and throne was what God had sworn by his holiness ( Ps. lxxxix. 35 ), and an interruption was no defeasance; the stream of government here runs again in the right channel. The instrument and chief manager of the restoration is Jehoiada, who appears to have been, 1.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The greatest grievance of Athaliah's reign was the bringing in of the worship of Baal, and supporting of that; therefore that must be abolished in the first place. Down with Baal's house, his altars, his images; down with them all, and let the blood of his priests be mingled with his sacrifices; for God had commanded that seducers to idolatry should be put to death, Deut. xiii.
