JEHOIADA MAKES JOASH KING.
1. in the seventh year Jehoiada . . . took the captains of hundreds, &c.--(See on

2. 以色列一切族长——在《历代志》中，「以色列」一名常用来指犹大和便雅悯，即如今以色列所余留的部分。耶何耶大既已审慎地将幼王子得以保全的秘密告知国中所有首要人物，便唤起他们对王室大业的关切，并以秘密效忠之誓取得了他们支持的承诺。
他们到了耶路撒冷——所选作这件大事揭晓的时机，大概是一年一度的节期之一，那时全国的人都汇集到京城。
英文原文
2. chief of all the fathers of Israel--This name is frequently used in Chronicles for Judah and Benjamin, now all that remained of Israel. Having cautiously entrusted the secret of the young prince's preservation to all the leading men in the kingdom, he enlisted their interest in the royal cause and got their pledge to support it by a secret oath of fidelity.
they came to Jerusalem--The time chosen for the grand discovery was, probably, one of the annual festivals, when there was a general concourse of the nation at the capital.

4-9. 你们当这样行——这里描述了为防御所作的安排。百姓分为三队：一队护卫王，另两队把守一切门和门口；那些为消除嫌疑而不带兵器进入圣殿的军长和武官，则从圣所的兵器库中取用兵器——大卫曾将他得胜的战利品存放在那里，此时便重新开启使用。
英文原文
4-9. This is the thing that ye shall do--The arrangements made for defense are here described. The people were divided into three bodies; one attended as guards to the king, while the other two were posted at all the doors and gates, and the captains and military officers who entered the temple unarmed to lull suspicion, were furnished with weapons out of the sacred armory, where David had deposited his trophies of victory and which was reopened on this occasion.

8. 耶何耶大……不允班次——在这样危急的时刻，必须尽可能掌握一支可调动的庞大力量，故大祭司把那些在别种情形下任期一满便当回家的人也留了下来。
英文原文
8. Jehoiada . . . dismissed not the courses--As it was necessary to have as large a disposable force as he could command on such a crisis, the high priest detained those who, in other circumstances, would have returned home on the expiry of their week of service.

11. 于是他们领王的儿子出来，给他戴上冠冕，将律法书交给他——有人认为，原文译作「法版」的字，按其字源而言，此处可能指御用的礼器，特别是手镯
(2Sa 1:10)；
他们之所以支持此说，是因为「交给他」一语既是补加，经文当作「给他戴上冠冕和法版」这样读。但与此同时，「法版」取其通常之义似乎同样恰当；因此许多人认为，是有一卷载有律法副本
(De 17:18)
的书卷放在王手中，他如执权杖或官杖一般持之。另有人则引东方人的习俗为说——他们从极受尊敬之处收到书信或文书时，先将其举到头上然后才打开——认为约阿施除冠冕之外，还有律法书放在他头上（参
Job 31:35, 36）。
愿王万岁——字面作「愿王活着」。
英文原文
11. Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony--Some think that the original word rendered "testimony," as its derivation warrants, may signify here the regalia, especially the bracelet
(2Sa 1:10);
and this view they support on the ground that "gave him" being supplemented, the text properly runs thus, "put upon him the crown and testimony." At the same time, it seems equally pertinent to take "the testimony" in the usual acceptation of that term; and, accordingly, many are of opinion that a roll containing a copy of the law
(De 17:18)
was placed in the king's hands, which he held as a scepter or truncheon. Others, referring to a custom of Oriental people, who when receiving a letter or document from a highly respected quarter, lift it up to their heads before opening it, consider that Joash, besides the crown, had the book of the law laid upon his head (see
Job 31:35, 36).
God save the king--literally, "Long live the king."

2Ch 23:12-15.
亚她利雅被杀
12. 亚她利雅听见民的欢呼——号筒的吹响和百姓激昂的欢呼所表示的异常骚动，引起了她的注意，或激起了她的恐惧。她也许曾自幸已杀了王室全家，便万无一失；但同样可能的是，她回想之后发觉有一人逃脱了她的毒手，便不敢贸然查究；然而这一念头使她时常处于猜忌疑虑和烦躁之中。那恶意的篡位者就在这种心境之下，隔着推罗皮温谷听见民间欢乐的爆发，便冲过桥到圣殿区，一眼就看穿了整个场面的含义，发出一声「反了！」的尖叫。
英文原文
2Ch 23:12-15.
ATHALIAH SLAIN.
12. Athaliah heard the noise of the people--The unusual commotion, indicated by the blast of the trumpets and the vehement acclamations of the people, drew her attention, or excited her fears. She might have flattered herself that, having slain all the royal family, she was in perfect security; but it is just as likely that, finding on reflection, one had escaped her murderous hands, she might not deem it expedient to institute any enquiries; but the very idea would keep her constantly in a state of jealous suspicion and irritation. In that state of mind, the wicked usurper, hearing across the Tyropœon the outburst of popular joy, rushed across the bridge to the temple grounds, and, penetrating from a single glance the meaning of the whole scene, raised a shriek of "Treason!"

13. 看哪，王站在殿门的柱旁——王的柱子在百姓院，与祭司的柱子相对。这位幼王穿戴御用的礼器，从内院被领出来，在外院公开露面。有人认为他是站在所罗门所造、立于柱旁的铜台上〔参看
2Ch 6:13
的注释〕。
英文原文
13. behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in--The king's pillar was in the people's court, opposite that of the priests'. The young king, arrayed in the royal insignia, had been brought out of the inner, to stand forth in the outer court, to the public view. Some think that he stood on the brazen scaffold of Solomon, erected beside the pillar [see on
2Ch 6:13].

14, 15. 不可在耶和华殿里杀她……他们把她带到王宫马门入口，就在那里杀了她——大祭司下令立即将她带出圣殿区处死。「他们就拿住她；她从马进王宫的那条路走；她就在那里被杀」
(2Ki 11:16)。
「这里我们不可设想马是进入〔王宫〕住所，而是进入王（的马）厩或跑马场（王骡之门）[约瑟夫（JOSEPHUS）]，是他为它们在圣殿东南、汲沦谷中马门紧旁所建的——那谷当时因毁灭偶像及其附属物而已成为一种被亵渎之处」

英文原文
14, 15. Slay her not in the house of the Lord . . . and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there--The high priest ordered her immediately to be taken out of the temple grounds and put to death. "And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain"
(2Ki 11:16).
"Now, we are not to suppose that horses came into [the king's house] of residence, but into the king's (horses') house or hippodrome (the gate of the king's mules) [JOSEPHUS], he had built for them on the southeast of the temple, in the immediate vicinity of the horse gate in the valley of Kedron--a valley which was at that time a kind of desecrated place by the destruction of idols and their appurtenances"

这里所提的五个首领，大概原属王室卫队，且众所周知他们对亚她利雅的政权深为不满。
