Explanation preview
This opening verse of 2 Chronicles 24 introduces Joash, the boy king of Judah, who came to the throne at only seven years old after the violent upheaval surrounding Queen Athaliah. His forty year reign in Jerusalem is measured out in the typical formula of the books of Kings and Chronicles, and the notice about his mother Zibiah from Beersheba places him within a real family and region.
