2 Chronicles 24:14
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
The record belongs to weak king Joash under Jehoiada the priest, and stands at the beginning of the closing division of Second Chronicles from chapter 24 to the end, which deals wholly with Judah through Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, ending with the destruction of Jerusalem and the full captivity to Babylon. The word finished refers to completing the work of repairing the temple and illustrates the Hebrew word kalah in the sense of finishing or completing. After the temple repairs were completed, the rest of the money was brought before the king and Jehoiada and made into vessels for the house of the Lord for worship and service, including vessels to minister and to offer withal, spoons, and vessels of gold and silver, and burnt offerings were offered continually in the house of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada.
The money given for the repairs was not diverted from its original purpose to make ministering vessels until that purpose was fully accomplished, with the vessels made only from what was left over after the repair work was finished. The money collected for repairing the temple was supplemented by gifts designated for making vessels used in its service, so that the repairs were supported by collected funds while further liberality provided for worship and service, and once the repairs were complete the remaining money was brought before the king and Jehoiada and used to make vessels of gold and silver, including utensils for offerings, with burnt offerings continuing regularly at the temple throughout Jehoiada's lifetime. Joash began his reign young and remained faithful and devoted to the Lord only while under the strong hand and guidance of his instructor Jehoiada, so that the good done in his reign is credited to the faithful priest Jehoiada rather than to Joash, and the phrase all the days of Jehoiada means the rightdoing lasted only as long as Jehoiada lived.
As soon as Jehoiada died and was removed, Joash lacked the strength of character to stand for God by himself as Josiah later did when he began young and exerted every effort to reform the people, and Joash yielded to evil and went into the way of the house of Ahab, although some of the teachings of his ancestors had taken root in his heart. The setting teaches that doing duty brought blessing while departing from God brought strife, captivity and great loss, showing the awfulness of sin and the sure judgments that sooner or later follow sin, and that God was willing to turn to help His people and work mightily for them and pardon them with wonderful mercy when they sought Him with all the heart and returned to Him.
