What does 2 Chronicles 24:12 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 24:4-14
4-14. Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord--(See on 2Ki 12:4-16). 2Ch 24:15, 16. Jehoiada Being Dead.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 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.
