Context — Joash Repairs the Temple
7For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
8At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
10All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full. 11Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.Cross References

| 2 | Matthew 17:24–27 | After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?” “Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?” “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus declared. “But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.” |
2 Chronicles 24:9 Summary
[This verse is about a proclamation that went out to the people of Judah and Jerusalem, reminding them to bring a special tax to the Lord, just like Moses had commanded in the wilderness. This tax was a way for the Israelites to remember their covenant with God and support the work of the tabernacle. As we read this verse, we can reflect on our own commitment to God's work and how we can demonstrate our obedience to Him, just like the Israelites did. We can also consider the importance of giving and supporting God's work, as seen in other passages like 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 and Malachi 3:10.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tax imposed by Moses mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:9?
The tax imposed by Moses is likely referring to the command in Exodus 30:13 and Exodus 38:25-26, where every Israelite 20 years old or older had to give a half shekel as a contribution to the Lord when the census was taken, to support the work of the tabernacle and its services.
Why was this tax important for the Israelites?
This tax was important because it reminded the Israelites of their covenant with God and their responsibility to support the work of the Lord, as seen in Exodus 30:16 and Leviticus 27:3, where it is used for the atonement of their souls.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse is part of the larger narrative of King Joash's efforts to repair the temple in 2 Chronicles 24, and it highlights the king's desire to restore the Israelites' obedience to God's commands, as seen in 2 Chronicles 24:7-8 and 2 Chronicles 24:10-11.
What can we learn from the Israelites' response to the proclamation in this verse?
We can learn that when God's people are reminded of their covenant obligations and respond with obedience, it can lead to joy and abundance, as seen in 2 Chronicles 24:10 and Malachi 3:10, where God blesses those who bring their tithes and offerings to Him.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can demonstrate my commitment to God's work in my life, just like the Israelites did through the tax imposed by Moses?
- How can I balance my personal responsibilities with my responsibility to support the work of the Lord, as seen in this verse?
- What are some modern-day applications of the principle of supporting God's work through giving, as mentioned in this verse and other passages like 2 Corinthians 9:6-7?
- In what ways can I, like King Joash, take initiative to restore and support the work of the Lord in my community?

2 Chronicles 24:9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses the servant of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness.Ver. 9. The collection that Moses.] See on 2 Chronicles 24:6.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:9
(9) And they made a proclamation.—Literally, uttered a voice (or cry) in Judah. The phrase (nathan qôl) occurs here only in this sense. (Comp. Proverbs 1:20.) To bring in to the Lord.—Comp. 2 Chronicles 24:6. The meaning is, To bring into the Temple, for the Lord. The collection.—Tax, or impost.This verse, and the next one also, are peculiar to the chronicle. The writer is fond of dwelling on the willingness of the people in the good old time to contribute to the cause of religion; doubtless, by way of suggestion to his own contemporaries. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 29:6; 1 Chronicles 29:9; 1 Chronicles 29:14.) In Kings we read: “And the priests, the warders of the threshold, used to put into it all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.” Until they had made an end.—This is correct. The same phrase recurs, 2 Chronicles 31:1. The ancient versions wrongly give “until it was filled.” Killâh does not mean “to make full,” as is asserted in Lange’s Commentary, but to finish any action.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 24:9
