2 Chr 23:18–19

23:18, 19 This account emphasizes more than 2 Kin. 11:18 that the new temple order under Jehoiada and Joash was according to Mosaic and Davidic design. The books of Chronicles were written in the time of reconstruction following the return of the Jews from exile in Babylonia, and such encouragement was appropriate.
