3. Jehoiada took for him two wives-As Jehoiada was now too old to contract such new alliances, the generality of interpreters apply this statement to the young king.

24:1-14 Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiada himself. It is easier to build temples, than to be temples to God. But the repairing of places for public worship is a good work, which all should promote. And many a good work would be done that now lies undone, if active men would put it forward.
