11:1-3
Jude fulfilled the word of the Lord, but he was a violent man with no love for the Lord, Joash was different, he would do God’s will and genuinely worshipped Him. Athaliah was the mother of Ahaziah and was a terrible woman. She tried to destroy the whole royal family, including Joash, but Jehosheba protected Joash. There is a history of the devil seeking to destroy God’s servants, e.g. Moses, Jesus., and failing. \joash remained hidden while Athaliah ruled the land.
11:4-12
Jehoiada now comes on the scene. He organised the commanders of the units of a hundred, seeking to protect Joash. They did as Jehoiada had commanded them. Jehoiada then crowned Joash as king and gave him a copy of the covenant, the people supported the king.
