Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
They buried him in the city of David among the kings - This unparalleled honor, due in part to the respect felt for Jehoiada's religious character, was probably, also, in part attributable to his connection with the royal family through his wife Ch2 22:11, and to the fact that, for 10 or 12 years, he had practically held the kingly office. Toward his house - "i. e. toward God's house," the temple.

They buried him - among the kings - He had, in fact, been king in Judah; for Joash, who appears to have been a weak man, was always under his tutelage. Jehoiada governed the state in the name of the king; and his being buried among the kings is a proof of the high estimation in which he was held among the people.
