2 Chronicles 24:15 Summary

This verse tells us that Jehoiada, a faithful priest, died at the age of 130. His long life was likely a blessing from God for his faithful service, as we see in Exodus 20:12.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 24:15

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. Jehoiada waxed old, and ... died.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:15

2 Chronicles 24:15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.Ver. 15. But Jehoiada waxed old.] And therefore, haply, had been the more remiss. And was full of days.] See on 1 Chronicles 23:1. When he died.] The good people were ready to wish, as the Romans did of Augustus, that either he had never been born, or had never died.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:15

DEATH AND BURIAL OF . AND MURDER OF BEN THE PROPHET (2 Chronicles 24:15-22). This section is wholly wanting in the Kings. It serves as a moral explanation of the after-history of Joash, recorded there and here (2 Kings 12:17-21). (15) But Jehoiada . . . when he died.—Literally, And Jehoiada became old, and was satisfied with days, and he died. The verb “to be satisfied” is only so used here and in 1 Chronicles 23:1. (Comp. Psalms 91:16.) The ancient expression was adjectival, “full of days” (Genesis 25:8; Genesis 35:29; Job 42:17; 1 Chronicles 29:28, only). An hundred and thirty years old.—According to some modern physiologists, one hundred and five is the proper limit of human life; that is to say, five times the period usually required for the attainment of full growth. Under favourable conditions it is even supposed that life might extend to half a century longer (M. Flourens, of the French Academy of Sciences). When persons of advanced age (eighty to one hundred) die, it is usually from preventible causes, As a French medical writer has remarked, “Men do not commonly die; they kill themselves.” The ago of Jehoiada, then, would seem to be not impossible, although an error of transcription in our text is also not impossible.
