2 Chronicles 24:4 In-Context

2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as long as Jehoiada the priest was living.
3 And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Now after this Joash had a desire to put the house of the Lord into good order again;
5 And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.
6 Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?
