Amaziah succeeds him Jehoiada took for him two wives Jehoiada, the high priest, played a significant role in the reign of King Joash. His influence was pivotal in guiding Joash, especially in the early years of his reign. The act of taking two wives for Joash reflects the cultural practices of the time, where polygamy was not uncommon among royalty and leaders in Israel. This practice was often associated with political alliances and the desire to ensure a strong lineage. While the Mosaic Law permitted polygamy, it also warned against the potential pitfalls, as seen in the lives of figures like Solomon. Jehoiada's involvement in this decision underscores his authority and influence in the kingdom, acting as a father figure to Joash. and he had sons and daughters Persons / Places / Events 1. JehoiadaA high priest who played a crucial role in the restoration of the Davidic line by protecting and guiding King Joash. His influence was significant in the early years of Joash's reign. 2. Joash (also known as Jehoash) The king of Judah who began his reign at a young age. Under Jehoiada's guidance, he initially did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. 3.

Teaching Points The Influence of Godly MentorshipJehoiada's role in Joash's life highlights the importance of having godly mentors who can guide and support us in our spiritual journey. The Impact of Leadership Choices The decision to take multiple wives, while culturally accepted, can lead to complications and distractions from one's spiritual responsibilities. The Importance of Spiritual Foundations Joash's initial success was largely due to the strong spiritual foundation laid by Jehoiada. This underscores the need for a solid spiritual grounding in our own lives. Legacy and Continuity The mention of Joash's sons and daughters reminds us of the importance of leaving a godly legacy for future generations.(3) And Jehoiada took for him two wives.--A statement not found in the parallel narrative, and doubtless taken by the compiler from another source. Instead of this, we read in 2Kings 12:4 : "Only the high places were not taken away; the people were still wont to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places."Verse 3. - That special note is made of Jehoiada's selecting of the wives may at any rate point to the suggestion that he was all a father to Joash, and both for his own sake and the kingdom's sake anxious as to the character of the women by whom a new kingly seed should take rise in place of that destroyed by Athaliah (2 Chronicles 22:10). Our 2 Chronicles 25:1 leaves it probable that "Jehoaden of Jerusalem" was one of these, though it is likely enough that Joash married, whether her or some one else, before he had reached the age of twenty-one. It is also quite likely that we may read between the lines, that in selecting two wives for his young and loved ward, Jehoiada hoped and prayed that Joash might not fall by sin like Solomon's (1 Kings 11:3) and that of others of the kings of both Judah and Israel.
