2 Chronicles 24:14

14 As soon as they finished, they brought the remaining money to the king and Jehoiada. They used it to make equipment for the LORD's temple, including what was used for the service and the entirely burned offerings, pans, and other objects made of gold and silver. As long as Jehoiada lived, the entirely burned offerings were regularly offered in the LORD's temple.

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.

2 Chronicles 24:14 In-Context

12 The king and Jehoiada would give it to those in charge of the work on the LORD's temple who in turn hired masons and carpenters to renovate the LORD's temple, as well as metalworkers for the iron and bronze to repair the LORD's temple.
13 The workers labored hard, and the restoration progressed smoothly under their control until they had brought God's temple back to its original state and reinforced it.
14 As soon as they finished, they brought the remaining money to the king and Jehoiada. They used it to make equipment for the LORD's temple, including what was used for the service and the entirely burned offerings, pans, and other objects made of gold and silver. As long as Jehoiada lived, the entirely burned offerings were regularly offered in the LORD's temple.
15 Jehoiada grew old, and when he reached the age of 130, he died.
16 He was buried among the kings in David's City because of his exemplary service to Israel, God, and God's temple.
