The expression "rested with his fathers" is a common biblical euphemism for death, suggesting a peaceful transition and continuity with the ancestors. It reflects the belief in an afterlife where the deceased join their forebears. Jehoash's reign was marked by military conflicts and efforts to restore Israel's power, as seen in his victories over Aram (<a href="/2_kings/13-25.htm">2 Kings 13:25</a>).<p><b>and was buried in Samaria</b><br>Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, established by King Omri. It served as the political and religious center of the northern tribes. The burial of Jehoash in Samaria signifies his status as a legitimate king of Israel. Archaeological excavations in Samaria have uncovered remnants of the city's fortifications and palaces, providing insight into the period's wealth and influence.<p><b>with the kings of Israel</b><br>This phrase underscores Jehoash's inclusion in the royal lineage of Israel, despite the moral and spiritual failings often associated with the northern kings. The kings of Israel, unlike those of Judah, were frequently criticized by the biblical authors for leading the people into idolatry and away from the worship of Yahweh. This burial tradition highlights the importance of dynastic continuity and the honor accorded to kingship.<p><b>And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place</b><br>Jeroboam II succeeded Jehoash as king, continuing the dynastic line. His reign is noted for its prosperity and territorial expansion, as recorded in <a href="/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23-29</a>. Jeroboam II's rule fulfilled the prophecy of Jonah, son of Amittai, who predicted the restoration of Israel's borders (<a href="/2_kings/14-25.htm">2 Kings 14:25</a>). Despite the material success, Jeroboam II's reign was marked by spiritual decline, as the people continued in the sins of Jeroboam I, who led Israel into idolatry. This period foreshadows the eventual downfall of the Northern Kingdom due to its persistent unfaithfulness to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jehoash.htm">Jehoash (Joash)</a></b><br>King of Israel who reigned in Samaria.
