An Unprecedented Honor
Commentators unanimously note that burying Jehoiada, a priest, "among the kings" was an unparalleled honor. Scholars attribute this exceptional tribute to his righteous character, his role as regent who preserved the kingdom, and his marriage into the royal family. His life demonstrates that great honor can be earned through faithfulness, not just royal birth.
