2 Chronicles 24:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:9

And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem
By heralds appointed for the purpose:

to bring in to the Lord;
into the house of the Lord, and for the reparation of it; and so for his service, honour, and glory:

the collection that Moses the servant of the Lord laid upon Israel in
the wilderness;
not to bring in the tabernacle of Moses, as the Targum here and in ( 2 Chronicles 24:6 ) , but such a voluntary gift as Moses moved the children of Israel to bring, when in the wilderness, for the service of the tabernacle.

2 Chronicles 24:9 In-Context

7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also presented all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord to the Baals.

8 Then at the king's command they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of the Lord.

9 And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God had imposed on Israel in the wilderness.

10 Then all the leaders and all the people rejoiced, brought their contributions, and put them into the chest until all had given.

11 So it was, at that time, when the chest was brought to the king's official by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, that the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
