And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

Commentary

And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all his days,.... Worshipping the o nly true God, and ruling and walking according to the law of God: wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him; and so long as he observed his instructions, and as long as that priest lived, he reigned well; for to that period "all his days must be limited"; for after his death he was seduced by the princes of Judah to idolatry, and lived scandalously, and died ignominiously; see Ch2 24:2 .
