Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Kings 12:4-16

We have here an account of the repairing of the temple in the reign of Joash. I. It seems, the temple had gone out of repair. Though Solomon built it very strong, of the best materials and in the best manner, yet in time it went to decay, and there were breaches found in it (2 Kgs. 12:5), in the roofs, or walls, or floors, the ceiling, or wainscoting, or windows, or the partitions of the courts. Even temples themselves are the worse for the wearing; but the heavenly temple will never wax old.... read more

And Jehoash said to the priests ,.... Being minded or having it in his heart, to repair the temple, as in 2 Chronicles 24:4 not only because it was the sanctuary of the Lord, though that chiefly, but because it had been a sanctuary to him, where he was hid and preserved six years: all the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the Lord : or rather, "that is to be brought", as De Dieu, and others render it, the particulars of which follow: even the money of... read more

Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance ,.... Of those that were most known by them; for the priests had cities assigned them in several parts of the land, and they that dwelt with them in them, or in the parts adjacent to them, were best known by them; and they were sent into all the cities, some to one and some to another, where they were most acquainted, to collect money, both what was due by law, and what the people should freely give, see 2 Chronicles 24:5 . ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 12:4

All the money of the dedicated things - From all this account we find that the temple was in a very ruinous state; the walls were falling down, some had perhaps actually fallen, and there was no person so zealous for the pure worship of God, as to exert himself to shore up the falling temple! The king himself seems to have been the first who noticed these dilapidations, and took measures for the necessary repairs. The repairs were made from the following sources: The things... read more

The history of Joash. "In the seventh year," etc. The whole story of Joash is soon told. He was a son of Ahaziah, and the only one of his children who escaped the murderous policy of Athaliah. "It would seem that this child, whom the pity and affection of a pious aunt (Jehosheba) had preserved, was the only surviving male representative of the line of Solomon. Jehoram, his grandfather, who married Athaliah, in order to strengthen his position on the throne, slew all his brethren, and all his... read more

And Jehoash said to the priests. The initiative of Joash is strongly marked, alike in Kings and Chronicles ( 2 Chronicles 24:4 ). The general weakness of his character, and want of vigor and decision, make it the more surprising that he should in this particular matter have shown himself capable of taking his own line and adhering to it ( 2 Kings 12:7 ). He has scarcely received from historians the credit that is due to him for his persistent and successful efforts to accomplish an... read more

The temple repairs-a good purpose frustrated. At an early period of his reign, Joash, instigated no doubt by the good Jehoiada, took steps to have the temple put in a proper state of repair. I. THE REPAIR OF THE TEMPLE PROJECTED . 1. The need of repair . What is stated in Chronicles of the condition of the temple shows how terrible had been the blight which had fallen on true religion in Judah during the reign of Athaliah. "That wicked woman," we are told, " had ... read more

Inconvenience of setting priests and ministers to serve tables. However convinced we may be of the honesty of the priests and Levites concerned in collecting money at this time for the repairs of the temple, it is undeniable that their proceedings in the matter created distrust and dissatisfaction. We know too little of the monetary arrangements previously in use among the Jews to see with any real clearness what exactly the complaint of the laity was, or how far the priests and Levites had... read more

Church restoration a good work , acceptable to God . David's desire to build God a house is often mentioned to his honor ( 2 Samuel 7:2 ; 1 Chronicles 17:1 , 1 Chronicles 17:2 ; 2 Chronicles 6:7 ; Acts 7:46 ). Solomon's reputation for piety and zeal rests mainly upon the pains which he took to erect for God's worship a noble and suitable edifice (Wis. 9:8; Ecclesiasticus 47:13; Acts 7:47 ). The "repairing of the house of God" ( 2 Chronicles 24:27 ) by Joash obtained him his... read more
