He was mentored by Jehoiada, the high priest, who played a significant role in his early years. This relationship highlights the importance of godly mentorship and leadership. Jehoiada's influence was crucial in guiding Joash to follow the ways of the Lord, as seen in <a href="/2_kings/12-2.htm">2 Kings 12:2</a>. The calling of Jehoiada and the priests indicates Joash's reliance on religious leaders for spiritual and administrative matters, reflecting the theocratic nature of Judah's governance.<p><b>&#8220;Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple?</b><br>The temple, built by Solomon, was central to the worship and identity of Israel. Over time, it had suffered neglect and damage, possibly due to the idolatrous practices of previous kings and the invasion of foreign powers. Joash's question underscores his concern for the restoration of proper worship and the maintenance of the temple as a symbol of God's presence among His people. This reflects the biblical principle of stewardship and the importance of maintaining places of worship, as seen in <a href="/haggai/1-4.htm">Haggai 1:4-9</a>, where the people are admonished for neglecting the house of the Lord.<p><b>Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency,</b><br>The priests were responsible for collecting funds from the people for the temple's upkeep. However, there seems to have been a failure in using these resources effectively for the intended purpose. Joash's directive to stop collecting money suggests a need for accountability and transparency in handling offerings, a principle echoed in the New Testament in <a href="/2_corinthians/8-20.htm">2 Corinthians 8:20-21</a>, where Paul emphasizes the importance of honorable conduct in financial matters.<p><b>but hand it over for the repair of the temple.&#8221;</b><br>Joash's command to allocate the funds specifically for temple repairs highlights the priority of restoring the house of God. This act of dedication to the temple's restoration can be seen as a type of Christ, who zealously cleansed the temple (<a href="/john/2-13.htm">John 2:13-17</a>), emphasizing the sanctity of worship and the need for purity in God's house. The focus on repair and restoration also points to the broader biblical theme of renewal and redemption, as God continually seeks to restore His people and His creation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_joash.htm">King Joash</a></b><br>The king of Judah who reigned during a time when the temple needed repairs.

It is evident, however, that the king now took the control of the funds and the work out of their hands. Probably the revenues of the sanctuary had been in a very languishing condition during the late reigns; and the priesthood had used whatever offerings they received for their own support. They would now very naturally be unwilling to appropriate any part of the revenues which they had come to regard as their own. to the work of repair. From the account in Chronicles it would not appear that any money was collected for the purpose of restoration before the king took the matter into his own hands. The idea of Thenins, that Joash wished to humble the pride of the priests by diminishing their revenues, is not contained in either narrative. But it is in itself likely that the moral tone of the whole order had degenerated in the late period of apostasy.<p><span class= "bld">But deliver it for the breaches of the house.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">For to the dilapidation of the house ye should give it; scil</span>., and not apply it to any other purposes.

The king did not take the matter into his own hands, but consulted with the head of the priestly order on the best steps to take in order to expedite the repairs. He made no" charge," delivered no "rebuke." He did not "remove the administration of the funds from the hands of the delinquent order" (Stanley). On the contrary, he left it in their hands (vers. 9-11). Two changes only were made: <p><span class="Text_Heading">1.</span> A public chest was set up conspicuously in the temple court, near the great altar, and the people were invited to bring their contributions to the temple, and hand them to the priests, who should straightway deposit them in the chest in the sight of the congregation. <p><span class="Text_Heading">2.</span> The chest was opened from time to time, and the money counted, in the presence of the high priest <span class="accented">and of a royal secretary</span>. It was then delivered over to "the overseers of the house" - persons, probably, of the priestly order - appointed by Jehoiada (<a href="/2_kings/11-18.htm">2 Kings 11:18</a>), who disbursed it to the carpenters and masons (<a href="/2_kings/12-11.htm">2 Kings 12:11, 12</a>). The chest was a sort of tangible evidence to the people of the purpose to which their contributions would be applied, and naturally stimulated their giving. The presence of the king's officer at the counting of the money, was equivalent, not really to an "audit" (Stanley), but to a publication of the accounts, and would prevent any suspension of the work, so long as it was clear that the money found in the chest had not been expended. Thus a new impetus was given to the movement. The measures taken completely answered. Contributions flowed in rapidly, and in a few years the whole work was accomplished (see <a href="/2_chronicles/24-13.htm">2 Chronicles 24:13, 14</a>). <span class="cmt_word">And the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house?</span> This shows that no repairs were going on 'in the twenty-third year of Joash, but not that none had been done previously. <span class="cmt_word">Now therefore receive no more money of your acceptance.</span> This was a revocation of the order given in ver. 5, and necessarily put an end to the local collections, which that order required. But deliver it for the breaches of the house. If the priests were not to "receive the money," they could not "deliver" it. Obscurity is introduced by the desire for extreme brevity. In point of fact, they were to "receive" (ver. 9), but in a new way. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_kings/12-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So King</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1492;&#1463;&#1502;&#1468;&#1462;&#1448;&#1500;&#1462;&#1498;&#1456;</span> <span class="translit">(ham&#183;me&#183;le&#7733;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article &#124;
