1 Josiah's good reign.3 He takes care for the repair of the temple.8 Hilkiah having found a book of the law, Josiah sends to Huldah to enquire of the Lord.15 Huldah prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem, but respite thereof in Josiah's time.

1 Joash reigns well all the days of Jehoiada. 4 He gives order for the repair of the temple. 15 Jehoiada's death and honourable burial. 17 Joash, falling into idolatry, slays Zechariah the son of Jehoiada. 23 Joash is spoiled by the Syrians, and slain by Zabad and Jehozabad. 27 Amaziah succeeds him. A.M. 3126-3165. B.C. 878-839. Joash.Joash, [Yôwâsh 03101|,] or [Yôâsh ,] is merely an abbreviation of Jehoash, [Yehôw'âsh ,] by the elision of [Hê,] {hay,} and here also of [Vâv,] {wav.} 2Ki 11:21; 12:1 Jehoash. 1Ch 3:11 seven years old.As Joash was hidden six years in the temple, and was but seven when he came to the throne, he could have been but one year old when secreted by his aunt.

He was born in the reign of Solomon, and lived through six successive reigns; and must, on any computation, have been upwards of 100 years old when Joash began to reign. 15; Ge 21:21; 24:4two wives.Ge 4:19; Mt 19:4-8 A.M. 3148.
