SCRIPTURE

"But Jehoiada waxed old and was full of days, and he died; a hundred and thirty years old was he when he died." — 2 Chronicles 24:15 (ASV)

But Jehoiada waxed old,

It happened to him as it must happen to us all; for the best of men must grow old and pass away. Let us value them while we have them. Too often we give them stones while they are alive, in anticipation of giving them bigger stones to keep them in memory when they die. Jehoiada waxed old,

And was full of day when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

An unusual age for that time; short enough as compared with the years of the antediluvian patriarchs, but still a great age for those days.
