2 Chronicles 24:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:14

And when they had finished it
The repairs of the house, all that were necessary:

they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada:
that is, the overseers, when they had paid the workmen, brought what was left of the money collected to the king and the priest, to dispose of as they should think fit:

whereof were made vessels for the house of the Lord;
in the room of such that Athaliah and her sons had taken away, and converted to the use of Baal; for though it is said, ( 2 Kings 12:13 ) , that none were made of this money, the meaning is, that none were made of it until the work was finished, and the workmen paid:

even vessels to minister and offer withal;
which, according to Jarchi, were pestles and mortars to beat spices with; but Kimchi thinks they were small vessels with which they drew wine out of the bin for drink offerings: and spoons and vessels of gold and silver: see ( 2 Kings 12:13 ) ,

and they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord
continually all the days of Jehoiada;
the daily sacrifice, morning and evening.
