列王紀下 12:9 RCUVTS

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

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest ,.... By the commandment of the king, 2 Chronicles 24:8 , to put the money collected into, to prevent any fraud, or suspicion of any: and bored a hole in the lid of it ; to drop the money into, by which means it could not be taken out without taking off the lid: and set it beside the altar ; the altar of burnt offering, in the court: on the right side, as one cometh into the house of the Lord ; that is, on the north; for the entrance into... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 12:4-15

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

The repair of the temple . It is rather surprising that the temple had not been thoroughly repaired by Jehoiada during the long minority of Joash, when he must practically have had the sole management of affairs. Probably he did repair the worst of the damage done by Athaliah's orders ( 2 Chronicles 24:7 ), which may have been very considerable, but neglected the restoration of such portions of the edifice as appeared to him of secondary importance, as the walls of the courts and the... read more

The repairing of the temple under Joash: a missionary sermon. I. THIS WORK HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE KING 'S COMMAND . Kings get a great many hard knocks nowadays. But kings have not been all bad. Considering the fierce light which beats upon a throne, and the special temptations to which they are exposed, perhaps the character of kings will bear investigation as well as the character of many of their critics. If in Jewish history we find a Jeroboam and an Ahab, we also find... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 12:7-16

The temple repairs-a good purpose accomplished. When so many years had elapsed without anything being done, Joash called the priests to account, and ordered them to take no more of the money of the people for themselves, but to repair the breaches of the house. A new start was made, and this time success was attained. We may ascribe the success to— I. PRUDENT ARRANGEMENTS . Wise, business-like arrangements have much to do with the success of any undertaking. Those now entered into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 12:9

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest. The writer of Chronicles says, "At the king's commandment, they made a chest" ( 2 Chronicles 24:8 ). The suggestion was probably the king's, but the ecclesiastical and civil authorities worked harmoniously in the business. And bored a hole in the lid of it —as hundreds of thousands have done since his time— and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord. The altar intended is, of course, the altar of burnt... read more
