Will some pulpits be more honoured by emptiness man by occupancy? Will some businesses have a chance to recover their character when the principals are dead, but not so long as those principals initiate and conduct the policy of the house? Is it possible that a throne may be a fountain of mischief? Questions such as these, penetrating, unsparing, we should thrust into ourselves, that they may work first painfully and then curatively. Is there no explanation given of all this rejoicing over the death of Athaliah? The explanation is given in 2Ch 24:7<\/span> –that wicked woman. This is an alliteration which the grammarian might detest, the rhetorician avoid as a vice in eloquence, but which the moralist must look at with a sense of ineffable shame. Wicked woman–it is impossible! It ought to be an affront to the very genius of creation; say dark sun, say waterless sea, say flowerless summer, and the irony might be tolerated, for it might be only a discord in words; but wicked woman indicates a possibility that makes all hell easy of belief. This is the moral explanation of the physical disaster. Athaliah was slain with the sword–cry, Murder then! Arrest the homicide, the regicide! But wait; you know not all; the explanatory word found in the context–that wicked woman. (J<\/em>. Parker, D<\/em>.D<\/em>.)<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Verse 21<\/span>. The city was quiet<\/B><\/I>] There was no attempt at a counter-revolution. Concerning the coronation of Joash, there is a curious circumstance mentioned by the Targumist<\/I> on 2Ch 23:11<\/span>, it is as follows: –<\/P> <\/P> “And they brought forth the son of the king, and put on him the royal crown which David took from the head of the king of the children of Ammon. In it was inserted the precious attracting stone, in which was engraven and expressed the great and honourable NAME [] which David had placed there by the Holy Spirit: and it was of the weight of a talent of gold; it was therefore a testimony to the house of David that no king who was not of the seed of David should be able to put it on his head, nor be able to bear its weight. When, therefore, the people saw it placed on the head of Joash, and that he was able to bear this crown, they believed him to be of the seed of David, and immediately constituted him king. Therefore Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, May the king be prosperous in his kingdom!”<\/P> <\/P> The Jews say that this was the crown of the king of the Ammonites; and that it was always worn afterwards by the kings of the house of Judah. See Jarchi<\/I> on this place.<\/P> <\/p>\n [See comments on 2Ch 23:1]<\/span>.<\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n I WOULD pass over both the history itself, and all the circumstances connected with it, while I review the gracious events the Lord’s right hand here accomplished, to give my meditation wing in flying to the yet more precious subject of that revolution wrought by grace, when sin and rebellion, with all the usurpation of Satan, are put down in the heart of man. I desire to bless God for the mercies here wrought for his Judah, and that he raised up this Jehoiada for the deliverance of his people. But oh! my soul, think of that everlasting deliverance wrought for all his people, when God our Father brought forth his dear Son, his true Jehoiada, hid from ages and generations, and set him as his King in Zion, when declaring the decree of redemption in his name. Here was the everlasting overthrow of Satan’s usurpation, tyranny, and power over our poor nature! Here was the final destruction of false gods, when the heathen oracles, by the coming of the Lord Jesus, were struck dumb forever. And here was the introduction of that glorious kingdom of righteousness and peace , which shall flourish forever. Hail, thou glorious, thou almighty Jesus! I see thee and thy lovely form beautifully shadowed forth in the character of Jehoiada, who ministered in thy name! Thou hast made a covenant indeed in thy blood and righteousness: for thou thyself art the whole of it. And it is thou that hast both set up the reform, and art the wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption of thy people. Oh! dearest Jesus! while the Father crowns thee King in Zion, and all the redeemed congratulate thee in thy coronation in the church of the first-born which are in heaven, do thou by the influences of thine Holy Spirit enable my soul to put the crown of my own personal redemption on thy sacred head, that I may exult as the people here did in the view of their lawful sovereign, for thou art my lawful God and King forevermore. And oh! my gracious Lord, while thou art blessing me with the communications of thy love, and my soul truly enjoys the fullness of blessings under thy reign, let thy grace draw out my heart in thy service, that all the idols of creature affection may be destroyed, and Jesus alone govern my heart and affections forever.<\/p>\n 2Ch 23:21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.<\/p>\n Ver. 21. And all the people of the land rejoiced.<\/strong> ] So, and much more shall the whole community of God’s people do, when the whore of Rome is executed by Christ, the true Jehoiada, who shall throw her out of the temple, and burn her with fire, because she hath slain the seed royal, put down kings at her pleasure, usurped the government of the Church, set up altars and images to Baalim, called such traitors as seek to set the crown upon Christ’s head, &c. But how impudent and ungrateful was Rhiston the Jesuit, who being condemned to die, and yet pardoned by Queen Elizabeth, ran beyond sea, and railed on her in print, saying that she was worse than Athaliah, Maachah, Jezebel, Herodias, &c.<\/p>\n rejoiced . . . quiet. “After” Athaliah was slain! So will it be when the great usurper shall he finally cast down. <\/p>\n 2Ki 11:20, Psa 58:10, Psa 58:11, Pro 11:10, Rev 18:20, Rev 19:1-4 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ch 21:20 – without being desired<\/p>\n 2Ch 23:21. All the people rejoiced: and the city was quiet The generality of the people rejoiced, the rest were quiet, and made no opposition. When the son of David is enthroned in the soul, all therein is quiet, and springs of joy are opened. <\/p>\n 23:21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, {o} after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.<\/p>\n (o) For where a tyrant and an idolater reigns there can be no peace for the plagues of God are always among such people.<\/p>\n And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword. 21. after that they had slain ] R.V. and they slew.
