2 Chronicles 24:20-22

Context
24:20 God’s Spirit energized 1  Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you violating the commands of the Lord? You will not be prosperous! Because you have rejected the Lord, he has rejected you!’” 24:21 They plotted against him and by royal decree stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple. 24:22 King Joash disregarded 2  the loyalty his father Jehoiada had shown him and killed Jehoiada’s 3  son. As Zechariah 4  was dying, he said, “May the Lord take notice and seek vengeance!” 5

[24:20]  1 tn Heb “clothed.”

[24:22]  2 tn Heb “did not remember.”

[24:22]  3 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehoiada) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Zechariah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  5 tn Heb “and seek [ – ].” The direct object of “seek” is omitted in the Hebrew text but implied; “vengeance” is supplied for clarification.

[1:1]  6 sn Darius is Darius Hystaspes, king of Persia from 522-486 b.c.

[1:1]  7 sn The eighth month of Darius’ second year was late October – late November, 520 b.c., by the modern (Julian) calendar. This is two months later than the date of Haggai’s first message to the same community (cf. Hag 1:1).

[1:1]  8 sn Both Ezra (5:1; 6:14) and Nehemiah (12:16) speak of Zechariah as a son of Iddo only. A probable explanation is that Zechariah’s actual father Berechiah had died and the prophet was raised by his grandfather Iddo. The “Zechariah son of Barachiah” of whom Jesus spoke (Matt 23:35; Luke 11:51) was probably the martyred prophet by that name who may have been a grandson of the priest Jehoiada (2 Chr 24:20-22).

[11:51]  9 sn Gen 4:10 indicates that Abel’s blood cried out for justice.

[11:51]  10 sn It is not clear which Zechariah is meant here. It is probably the person mentioned in 2 Chr 24:20-25.

[11:51]  11 tn Or “who perished.”

[11:51]  12 tn Or “and the temple”; Grk “and the house,” but in this context a reference to the house of God as a place of sanctuary.

[11:51]  13 tn Or “required from.”
