   No doubt those wicked men, Jozachar and Jehozabad, who
   murdered his father, had considerable influence; and therefore
   he found it dangerous to bring them to justice, till he was
   assured of the loyalty of his other officers: when this was
   clear, he called them to an account, and justly put them to
   death for treason and murder; for, if even these conspirators
   against Joash intended to avenge upon him the death of
   Zechariah, they acted without a commission from that God "to
   whom vengeance belongeth."
