26<\/strong>. Zabad a Moabitess<\/em> ] In Kings “Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer” (nothing being said of the nationality of the murderers). The Chronicler’s object no doubt is to trace a connexion between the apostasy of Joash and its punishment, between the king’s foreign worship and his murder by men of foreign descent.<\/p>\n Verse 26<\/span>. These are they that conspired against him<\/B><\/I>] The two persons here mentioned were certainly not Jews<\/I>; the mother<\/I> of one was an Ammonitess<\/I>, and the mother<\/I> of the other was a Moabitess<\/I>. Who their fathers<\/I> were we know not; they were probably foreigners<\/I> and aliens<\/I>. Some suppose that these persons were of the king’s<\/I> chamber<\/I>, and therefore could have the easiest access to him. It has been, and is still, the folly<\/I> of kings to have foreigners for their valets and most confidential servants, and they have often been the causes of murders and treacheries of different kinds. Foreigners<\/I> should be banished from the person of the sovereign by strong and efficient laws: even in this country they have often been the cause of much political wo.<\/P> <\/p>\n And these are they that conspired against him, Zabad the son of Shimeah an Ammonitess<\/strong>,…. Called Jozachar, the son of Shimeah, 2Ki 12:21<\/span>,<\/p>\n and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess<\/strong>; called in the same place the son of Shomer.<\/p>\n (26) Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.<\/strong>2Ki. 12:21<\/span> : Jozachar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer.Probably Jozachar is right, Zabad being an easy corruption of Zachar, a normal contraction of Jozachar. Yet many MSS. of Kings read Joza-bad. Shomer in Kings should probably be Shemer (1Ch. 7:32<\/span>; 1Ch. 7:34<\/span>), of which Shimri (1Ch. 4:37<\/span>) and Shimrith might be by-forms. Reuss is incorrect in asserting that the names of the mothers<\/em> are substituted by the chronicler for the names of the fathers.<\/em> Thenius even knows the reason why the chronicler has added the epithets Ammonitess, Moabitess. The writer wished to show that the idolatry into which he makes Joash lapse (?), was avenged by two sons of idolatrous wives (!). This is fancy determined by prejudice. The additions Ammonitess, Moabitess, indicate the use of another source than the canonical book of Kings; and the same may be said of the strikingly original account of the death of Zechariah (2Ch. 24:17-22<\/span>). What that source was the next verse declares, viz., The Midrash of the book of the Kings.<\/p>\n The names of the murderers of Joash being recorded, and their Gentile stock on the mother’s side springing from Ammon and Moab, seems to have been done with a view to point out the aggravated sorrow of Joash in his last moments. Not only to have died in his bed full of diseases, but under the sword of foreigners. The fear of this was what made Saul’s last moments doubly distressing. 1Sa 31:4<\/span> .<\/p>\n 2Ch 24:26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.<\/p>\n Ver. 26.
