Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - After of the king, the parallel conveniently certifies the name, Joram, and adds, "sister of Ahaziah" (very possibly half-sister, though), and afterwards particularizes the hiding, as from Athaliah, as in the latter part of this verse. We are here told, what is not mentioned in the parallel, that Jehosheba was "wife of Jehoiada the priest," probably the high priest. Nor is this negatived by the fact that the name is not found (1 Chronicles 6.) in the line from Aaron to Jozadak; for this is only the line of Jozadak's ancestors, all of whom were not high priests. Joash is to be heard of again (2 Kings 11:21; 2 Chronicles 24:1).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Jehoshabeath.--Kings, "Jehosheba." (Comp. "Elisheba," Exodus 6:23; and ???????? (LXX.), Luke 1:7.)The daughter of the king.--Kings adds "Joram," and "sister of Ahaziah."That were slain.--That were to be put to death.In a bedchamber.--Literally, in the chamber of beds, i.e., where the bedding was kept. (See Note on 2Kings 11:2.)The wife of Jehoiada the priest.--So Josephus. Thenius questions the fact, on the supposed grounds--(1) that the high priest did not live in the Temple; but the passage he alleges (Nehemiah 3:20-21) does not prove this for Jehoiada; and (2) that the chronicler contradicts himself in asserting that the priest's wife also lived within the sacred precinct; but again his reference (2Chronicles 8:11) is irrelevant. Ewald calls the statement in question "genuinely historical;" and there is not the smallest reason to doubt it. . . .
