Context of 2 Chronicles 24:15

13These workers worked well so that they soon finished the work. They built the temple to be very strong, in the way that it should be. 14When they had finished, there was some money that remained. So the workers took the money to the king and to Jehoiada. They decided to make tools to use in the temple. There were things that the priests used to serve the Lord in the temple, and to offer burnt offerings. They used gold and silver to make dishes and other things. While Jehoiada was still alive, the priests always made burnt offerings as sacrifices to the Lord in his temple. But Jehoiada became very old and he died when he was 130 years old. 16They buried him beside the kings in the City of David. They gave him that honour, because he had done many good things in Israel for God and for the temple. 17After Jehoiada died, the important officers of Judah came to the king. They bent down low in front of him to give him honour. The king listened to their advice.

See how necessary it is that we act in religion from inward principle. Then the loss of a parent, a minister, or a friend, will not be losing our religion. Often both princes and inferior people have been flattered to their ruin. True grace alone will enable a man to bring forth fruit unto the end.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 15-1615-16. Jehoiada waxed old ... and died--His life, protracted to unusual longevity and spent in the service of his country, deserved some tribute of public gratitude, and this was rendered in the posthumous honors that were bestowed on him.
