The Death of Joash
23In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus. 24Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash. 25And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.…

Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men
This phrase highlights the surprising nature of the Aramean victory over Judah. The Arameans, also known as Syrians, were a significant power in the region, but their army was notably small in this instance. This reflects a recurring biblical theme where God uses seemingly weak or small forces to accomplish His purposes, as seen in Gideon's victory over the Midianites (Judges 7). The Arameans' success despite their small numbers underscores the divine intervention in the battle, emphasizing that victory does not depend on human strength or numbers but on God's will.

the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army
The phrase indicates that the defeat of Judah was not due to the military prowess of the Arameans but was orchestrated by the LORD. This reflects the biblical principle that God is sovereign over the nations and can use them as instruments of His judgment. The "very great army" refers to the forces of Judah, which were substantial but ultimately powerless against God's decree. This event serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience to God, as seen in other instances where God allows foreign nations to triumph over Israel or Judah as a form of punishment (e.g., Babylonian captivity).

Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers
This phrase provides the reason for Judah's defeat: their abandonment of the covenant with God. The phrase "the God of their fathers" emphasizes the historical and covenantal relationship between God and the people of Judah, tracing back to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Forsaking the LORD often involved idolatry and moral decay, which were prevalent during the reign of King Joash after the death of Jehoiada the priest. This apostasy is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, where the people's unfaithfulness leads to divine judgment.

judgment was executed on Joash
Joash, the king of Judah, initially followed God under the guidance of Jehoiada the priest but later turned away, leading to his downfall. The execution of judgment on Joash is a fulfillment of the prophetic warnings given to the kings and people of Judah. This judgment serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of turning away from God and the inevitable consequences of such actions. Joash's story parallels other biblical accounts where leaders who forsake God face dire outcomes, reinforcing the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands.

What Does 2 Chronicles 24:24 Mean
Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men

God highlights the mismatch to remind us that outcomes rest on His sovereign will, not human strength. Scripture repeatedly shows small forces triumphing when the Lord ordains it—think of Gideon’s three-hundred (Judges 7:2-7) or Jonathan’s two-man raid (1 Samuel 14:6). By noting the Arameans were “only a few,” the text underlines the lesson of Zechariah 4:6: “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”

Key takeaways:

• Numerical inferiority never limits God.

• God sometimes uses outnumbered outsiders to awaken His own people (Deuteronomy 32:30).


the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army

The decisive factor is the LORD’s hand. He can grant victory to whom He chooses (2 Chronicles 20:15; Proverbs 21:31). Here He deliberately hands over Judah’s “very great army” to a smaller foe, reversing the normal course of battle (Leviticus 26:17, “those who hate you shall rule over you”).

Notice:

• God remains actively involved in world affairs—even pagan armies move only at His command (Isaiah 10:5-7).

• When He fights against His own people, no strategy or size can save them (Psalm 33:16-17).


Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers

The verse states the reason plainly: covenant unfaithfulness. After the death of Jehoiada the priest, King Joash listened to officials who lured him into idolatry (2 Chronicles 24:17-19). Forsaking the Lord included:

– Abandoning temple worship and turning to Asherah poles and idols.

– Rejecting prophetic warnings (v. 19; cf. 2 Chronicles 7:19-20).

– Silencing truth by murdering Zechariah, Jehoiada’s son (v. 21; Matthew 23:35).

Such apostasy violates the first commandment (Exodus 20:3) and inevitably invites discipline (Hebrews 12:6). Friendship with the world makes one God’s enemy (James 4:4).


judgment was executed on Joash

Judgment touched both king and kingdom. The Arameans struck “all the rulers of the people” (v. 23) and left Joash gravely wounded; his own servants then conspired and killed him on his bed (v. 25; 2 Kings 12:20-21). Galatians 6:7-8 echoes the principle: “God is not mocked… whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

Why personal judgment?

• Joash broke his oath to maintain the covenant (2 Chronicles 23:16).

• He shed innocent blood within the temple courtyard (24:21), and God avenges such blood (Genesis 9:6; 1 Peter 4:17).


summary

2 Chronicles 24:24 teaches that the Lord can empower a small force to topple a mighty one when His people abandon Him. Military strength, heritage, or past devotion cannot shield anyone who persists in rebellion. Because Joash and Judah forsook the God of their fathers, God turned their own size and resources into liabilities and brought just judgment upon them. The passage underscores two unchanging truths: God alone determines victory, and covenant faithfulness matters.

(24) For the army of the Syrians.--This verse is explanatory of 2Chronicles 24:23. Literally, For with fewness of men had the host of Syria come, and Jehovah had given into their hand a host in exceeding abundance. "Fewness of men" (mic'ar 'an?shim) is a phrase not found elsewhere. (Comp. Genesis 19:20.) The parallel account informs us that Hazael had intended to march against Jerusalem in person, as it would seem, after the battle in which the Syrian division had defeated the Jewish princes. Joash, however, bribed his for bearance by a present of the treasures of the Temple and palace (2Kings 12:18).

So they executed judgment against Joash.--A phrase always used of Divine requital. (Comp. Exodus 12:12; Ezekiel 5:10.) (The construction here is unique: "they did judgments with Joash," whereas the ordinary form would be, "they did judgments in Joash." ) . . .

Verse 24. - Came with a small company... the Lord delivered a very great host (so Leviticus 26:8; Deuteronomy 28:25, etc.). So they executed judgment against Joash. The Hebrew says literally, "and on Joash they executed judgments." What the judgments were we do not read, but surely it is probable that they are glanced at in the next verse, "For they left him in great [or, 'many'] diseases," or perhaps "in great illness" (2 Chronicles 21:15).
