SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:6
Por lo cual el rey llamó a Joiada el principal, y le dijo: ¿Por qué no has procurado que los levitas traigan de Judá y de Jerusalén al tabernáculo del testimonio, la ofrenda que constituyó Moisés siervo del SEÑOR, y la congregación de Israel?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 24:6
Verse 6. The collection-of Moses] This was the poll-tax, fixed by Moses, of half a shekel, which was levied on every man from twenty years old and upward; and which was considered as a ransom for their souls, that there might be no plague among them. See Exod. xxx. 12-14.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And the king called for Jehoiada the chief , etc.] Who was either the high priest, or the head of his course, or, however, the chief of the priests and Levites concerned in this affair, and, indeed, was the chief or prime minister of state: and said unto him, why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah, and out of Jerusalem, the collection ; the money to repair the house they were ordered to collect, ( 2 Chronicles 25:6) according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the Lord and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness ? for the repair of it, such as Moses required, and the people used to pay, referring to the half shekel; or to a freewill offering of the people, Moses enjoined or directed to.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiad 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 lie undone, if active men would put it forward.
