2 Chronicles - 24:8 Meaning
“And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
24:1-14 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.
“And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.”
