2 Chronicles 24:17 meaning
Joash, the king of Judah, initially enjoyed a successful reign, thanks largely to the influence of his guardian, Jehoiada, the high priest. During this period, Joash restored the temple and fostered a return to proper worship. However, following Jehoiada's death, Joash succumbed to the pressures of idolatry and apostasy. He not only abandoned the worship of Yahweh but also participated in the worship of Baal, demonstrating a troubling shift in allegiance that would haunt him until the end of his life. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals how God's warnings through prophets were rejected by the people.
