Good Morning Bible Readers!! They buried [Jehoiada] in the City of David along with the kings because he had done good in Israel and with the true God and His house. (2 Chron. 24:16) Our courage and faith are strengthened when we see that God is with those who put his interests and the welfare of fellow believers ahead of their own concerns. For example, consider High Priest Jehoiada and his wife, Jehosheba. After King Ahaziah died, Athaliah, his mother, killed the remaining royal offspring except Jehoash and seized the throne. Jehoiada and Jehosheba had taken the risk of rescuing Ahaziahs son Jehoash and had kept him hidden for six years. In the seventh year, Jehoida had Jehoash proclaimed king and Athaliah put to death. (2 Ki. 11:1-16) Jehoiada later supported King Jehoash in repairing the temple. And when Jehoiada died at 130 years of age, he was buried with the kings. Moreover, the courageous deeds of Jehoida and his wife preserved the royal line from David to the Messiah.
