Matthew Henry on 2 Chronicles 24:1-14

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

Joash is more zealous about the repair of the temple than Jehoiada himself. It is easier to build temples, than to be temples to God. But the repairing of places for public worship is a good work, which all should promote.

And many a good work would be done that now lies undone, if active men would put it forward.
