Berean Study Bible

And Jehoahaz rested
The phrase "rested" is a common biblical euphemism for death, indicating a peaceful transition from life to the afterlife. In Hebrew, the word used is "שָׁכַב" (shakab), which can mean to lie down or to rest. This term reflects the hope of a believer in the Old Testament for a peaceful repose after a life of faithfulness, despite Jehoahaz's mixed legacy. It suggests a return to the earth and a hope for resurrection, a concept that is more fully developed in the New Testament.

with his fathers
This phrase indicates burial in a family tomb, a common practice in ancient Israel. It signifies continuity with one's ancestors and a connection to the covenant promises given to the patriarchs. The phrase also implies a sense of belonging and identity within the community of God's people, even in death. It reflects the biblical theme of generational faithfulness and the hope that one's descendants will continue in the covenant relationship with God.

and was buried in Samaria
Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, established by King Omri. The burial of Jehoahaz in Samaria signifies his status as a king of Israel, despite the spiritual and political turmoil of his reign. Archaeological evidence from Samaria reveals a city of significant importance and wealth, though often marked by idolatry and apostasy. This burial location underscores the tension between the political achievements and spiritual failures of Israel's kings.

And his son Joash became king in his place
The succession of Joash (also known as Jehoash) to the throne highlights the dynastic continuity in the Northern Kingdom. The name "Joash" means "Yahweh has given," reflecting a hope that his reign would be a gift from God, despite the challenges he would face. This transition of power is a reminder of God's sovereignty over the nations and His ability to work through imperfect leaders to accomplish His purposes. The biblical narrative often emphasizes the importance of righteous leadership and the consequences of turning away from God's commandments.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(9) Slept with his fathers.--Or, lay down (i.e., to sleep) like his fathers, i.e., as his fathers had done before him. The same phrase is used even of Amaziah, who came to a violent end (2Kings 14:22).

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 9. - And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria (comp. 1 Kings 16:28; 2 Kings 10:35; 2 Kings 13:13, etc.). The kings of Israel from the time of Omri were buried in the capital, Samaria, as those of Judah were in Jerusalem. It is uncertain whether they had one common mausoleum, like the kings of Judah (2 Chronicles 28:27), but it is most probable that they had. To rest with their fathers in the same royal sepulcher was to be duly honored at their death; to be excluded from it was a disgrace. And Joash his son reigned in his stead.
