His reign is noted for the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem, which had fallen into disrepair. Joash's early reign was marked by his adherence to the guidance of Jehoiada the priest, which led to religious reforms. However, after Jehoiada's death, Joash's reign took a negative turn, including idolatry and the murder of Zechariah, Jehoiada's son. This phrase suggests that there were many other deeds and events during Joash's reign that are not detailed in this particular biblical account.<p><b>along with all his accomplishments</b><br>Joash's accomplishments include the significant repair and restoration of the Temple, which was a major religious and cultural center for the people of Judah. This restoration was funded by a tax levied on the people, demonstrating Joash's initial commitment to the worship of Yahweh. However, his accomplishments are overshadowed by his later failures and the moral decline of his reign, which ultimately led to his assassination by his own officials.<p><b>are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?</b><br>This phrase refers to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of Judah. While this specific book is not part of the biblical canon, it is often referenced in the books of Kings and Chronicles, suggesting it was a well-known source of historical information at the time. The mention of this book indicates that the biblical account is selective and that additional details about Joash's reign could be found in this now-lost document. This phrase also highlights the practice of recording royal annals, a common practice in the ancient Near East, which served to preserve the history and legacy of a king's reign.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joash.htm">Joash (Jehoash)</a></b><br>King of Judah who reigned for 40 years.

Again the narrative of Kings is to be supplemented by that of Chronicles. From Chronicles we learn that, before the withdrawal of the Syrians, Joash had fallen into a severe illness, which confined him to his apartment (<a href="/2_chronicles/24-25.htm">2 Chronicles 24:25</a>). This gave opportunity for conspiracy. Among the courtiers were two, perhaps more, whom the fate of Zechariah had grieved, and who were probably opposed to the entire series of later changes in religion which had been sanctioned by Joash (<a href="/2_chronicles/24-17.htm">2 Chronicles 24:17, 18</a>). These persons "made a conspiracy," which was successful, and "slew Joash on his bed" (<a href="/2_chronicles/24-25.htm">2 Chronicles 24:25</a>). They then buried him in Jerusalem, but "not in the sepulchers of the kings." <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the chronicles of the kings of Judah?</span> This formal phrase, with which he concludes his account of almost every Jewish king (<a href="/1_kings/14-29.htm">1 Kings 14:29</a>; <a href="/1_kings/15-7.htm">1 Kings 15:7, 23</a>; <a href="/1_kings/22-45.htm">1 Kings 22:45</a>; <a href="/2_kings/8-23.htm">2 Kings 8:23</a>; <a href="/2_kings/14-18.htm">2 Kings 14:18</a>; <a href="/2_kings/15-6.htm">2 Kings 15:6</a>, etc.), cannot be regarded as an acknowledgment by the author of any special or designed reticence with respect to the reign of Joash. We must suppose him unconscious of any such design. He had to omit much in every case; in the present he happened to omit all the darker shades; and the result was an over-favorable portraiture of the monarch. But, in the providence of God, complete historical justice was secured by the labors and researches of a second inspired writer. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_kings/12-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">As for the rest</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיֶ֛תֶר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ye·ṯer)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
