Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - Stoned him. Yet this was their Law's punishment for themselves, for idolaters (Leviticus 20:2). At the commandment of the king. The king, who had yielded to the flattering obeisance and worship of the princes, is now driven on a grievous length further. In the court of the house of the Lord. So Matthew 23:35, "between the temple [Revised Version, 'sanctuary'] and the altar."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) And they conspired against him.--The conspiracy of 2Chronicles 24:25 was the Divine recompense for this one.And stoned him.--The legal penalty of idolatry (Leviticus 20:2; Deuteronomy 17:2-5).At the commandment of the king.--Probably Zechariah's words had been represented to Joash as treasonable. The Syrian invasion may have been already threatening, when his prophecy was uttered; and in that case it would be easy to allege against the prophet that his "wish was father to his thought." (Comp. the similar case of Jeremiah, Jeremiah 32:1-5; and 1Kings 21:8-13.) . . .
