2Ch 24:15-16 | MHM | STEP | Joash Slain by His Servants This passage tells the sad story of Joash’s downfall. Though he started his reign with good guidance from Jehoiada the priest, Joash abandoned God after Jehoiada’s death. His unfaithfulness led to idolatry, the murder of a prophet, and severe judgments from God. Joash’s life serves as a warning about the dangers of relying on others for faith, the corrupting influence of bad counsel, and the consequences of turning away from God. v. 15-16 : Jehoiada, the priest who had guided Joash, lived a long life of 130 years. When he died, he was buried with honor among the kings because he had done great good for Judah, especially in restoring the temple and leading the people back to God (2 Chronicles 24:15-16 ). Jehoiada’s death marked a turning point, as Joash relied on him but lacked a strong personal faith.
