27- May the Lord See and Avenge

The restoration of Davidic rule under Joash gets off to a strong start thanks to Judah's high priest and regent, Jehoiada. But things go awry after Jehoiada's death, leading to a deadly confrontation between Joash and Jehoiada's son—the first prophet Zechariah. Ian and Caleb dive into controversy with an unapologetic discussion of Old Testament polygyny. They explore ancient supercentenarians, whether Jesus refers to Zechariah ben Jehoiada in Matthew, and Aram's growing empire under Hazael. They also decide to go into business as international antiquities litigators, leading to a television series that is half legal drama, half Indiana Jones.
