19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Judah ? 20 His servants arose and made a conspiracy and struck down Joash at the house of Millo as he was going down to Silla . 21 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer , his servants , struck him and he died ; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David , and Amaziah his son became king in his place .

(Read 2 Kings 12:17-21)
Let us review the character of Jehoash, and consider what we may learn from it. When we see what a sad conclusion there was to so promising a beginning, it ought to make us seek into our spiritual declinings. If we know any thing of Christ as the foundation of our faith and hope, let us desire to know nothing but Christ. May the work of the blessed Spirit on our souls be manifest; may we see, feel, and be earnest, in seeking after Jesus in all his fulness, suitableness, and grace, that our souls may be brought over from dead works to serve the living and true God.
