Contextual Overview

1 Yo'ash was seven years old when he began his reign, and he reigned forty years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Tzivyah, from Be'er-Sheva. 2 Yo'ash did what was right from Adonai 's perspective throughout the lifetime of Y'hoyada the cohen. 3 Y'hoyada chose two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters. 4 Some time later, Yo'ash decided to restore the house of Adonai . 5 He gathered the cohanim and L'vi'im and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Y'hudah, and collect money each year from all Isra'el to repair the house of your God. See that you do this promptly." But when the L'vi'im procrastinated, 6 the king summoned Y'hoyada the chief and said to him, "Why haven't you demanded that the L'vi'im bring in from Y'hudah and Yerushalayim the tax prescribed by Moshe the servant of Adonai and by the community of Isra'el, for the tent of the testimony?" 7 For the sons of that wicked ‘Atalyahu had broken up the house of God, and they had given all the consecrated things belonging to the house of Adonai to the ba‘alim. 8 Then, at the king's order, they made a box and placed it outside the entrance to the house of Adonai . 9 They proclaimed throughout Y'hudah and Yerushalayim that the tax Moshe the servant of God had imposed on Isra'el in the desert should be brought in for Adonai . 10 All the leaders and all the people were glad to bring in their contributions and put them in the box, until it was full.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jehoiada lived after the accession of Joash at least 23 years 2 Kings 12:6. Thus the idolatries of Joash 2 Chronicles 24:18 were confined to his last 10 or 15 years.
