SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:15
¶ Mas Joiada envejeció, y murió lleno de días; de ciento treinta años era cuando murió.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died , etc.] A very old man; few at this time arrived to such an age; he was a rare instance: One hundred and thirty years old was he when he died ; the oldest man we read of from the times of Moses, and older than he by ten years.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-27 - See what a great judgment on any prince or people, the death of godly zealous, useful men is. See how necessary it is that we act in religio from inward principle. Then the loss of a parent, a minister, or friend, will not be losing our religion. Often both princes an inferior people have been flattered to their ruin. True grace alon will enable a man to bring forth fruit unto the end. Zechariah, the so of Jehoiada, being filled with the Spirit of prophecy, stood up, an told the people of their sin. This is the work of ministers, by the word of God, as a lamp and a light, to discover the sin of men, an expound the providences of God. They stoned Zechariah to death in the court of the house of the Lord. Observe the dying martyr's words: The Lord look upon it, and require it! This came not from a spirit of revenge, but a spirit of prophecy. God smote Joash with great diseases of body, or mind, or both, before the Syrians departed from him. I vengeance pursue men, the end of one trouble will be but the beginnin of another. His own servants slew him. These judgments are called the burdens laid upon him, for the wrath of God is a heavy burden, to heavy for any man to bear. May God help us to take warning, to be upright in heart, and to persevere in his ways to the end __________________________________________________________________
