11 It came about whenever the chest was brought in to the king's officer by the Levites , and when they saw that there was much money , then the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer would come , empty the chest , take it, and return it to its place . Thus they did daily and collected much money .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:11
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:1-14
(Read 2 Chronicles 24:1-14)
Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiada himself. It is easier to build temples, than to be temples to God. But the repairing of places for public worship is a good work, which all should promote. And many a good work would be done that now lies undone, if active men would put it forward.
