2 Chronicles 24:2

King James Version (KJV)

And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Jehoiada lived after the accession of Joash at least 23 years 2 Kings 12:6. Thus the idolatries of Joash 2 Chronicles 24:18 were confined to his last 10 or 15 years.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary

Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiada himself. It is easier to build temples, than to be temples to God. But the repairing of places for public worship is a good work, which all should promote. And many a good work would be done that now lies undone, if active men would put it forward.
