Commentary on 2 Kings 12:7

Theological / Devotional

Why repair ye not? An upbraiding of the priests for dereliction of duty in failing to complete the Temple repairs.

Receive no more money. What had evidently happened was that the priests were receiving the money and using it for themselves. The king now ordered that this be stopped, and that the money be handed over for the purpose for which it was intended — the repair of the Temple.
