Contextual Overview
1 Joash was only seven years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled forty years from Jerusalem. His mother Zibiah was from the town of Beersheba. 2 While Jehoiada the priest was alive, Joash obeyed the Lord by doing right. 3 Jehoiada even chose two women for Joash to marry so he could have a family. 4 Some time later, Joash decided it was time to repair the temple. 5 He called together the priests and Levites and said, "Go everywhere in Judah and collect the annual tax from the people. I want this done right away—we need that money to repair the temple." But the Levites were in no hurry to follow the king's orders. 6 So he sent for Jehoiada the high priest and asked, "Why didn't you send the Levites to collect the taxes? The Lord 's servant Moses and the people agreed long ago that this tax would be collected and used to pay for the upkeep of the sacred tent. 7 And now we need it to repair the temple because the sons of that evil woman Athaliah came in and wrecked it. They even used some of the sacred objects to worship the god Baal." 8 Joash gave orders for a wooden box to be made and had it placed outside, near the gate of the temple. 9 He then sent letters everywhere in Judah and Jerusalem, asking everyone to bring their taxes to the temple, just as Moses had required their ancestors to do. 10 The people and their leaders agreed, and they brought their money to Jerusalem and placed it in the box.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So the workmen wrought,.... The masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and brasiers:
and the work was perfected by them; the business of repairs was completely finished:
and they set the house of God in his state; as it was at first:
and strengthened it; so that it seemed as firm and stable as when first built.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They set the house of God in his state - Some prefer, âthey set up the house of God in its (old) measureâ or âproportions.â
