Contextual Overview
1 Joash was seven years old when he became king. And he ruled forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. 2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the religious leader. 3 Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters. 4 After this Joash decided to do the work that was needed on the Lord's house. 5 He gathered the religious leaders and Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah. And gather money from all Israel to pay for the work needed to be done on the house of your God from year to year. Be quick about it." But the Levites did not hurry. 6 So the king called for Jehoiada the head religious leader, and said to him, "Why have you not made the Levites bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax set by Moses the Lord's servant? All the people of Israel were to pay taxes for the tent of the Law." 7 For the sons of that sinful woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God. They even used the holy things of the Lord's house for the false gods of Baal. 8 So the king had them make a box and set it outside by the gate of the Lord's house. 9 And they made it known in Judah and Jerusalem that the tax set by God's servant Moses on Israel in the desert must be brought to the Lord. 10 Then all the leaders and all the people were filled with joy. They brought in their taxes and put the money into the box until they had finished.

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, “they set up the house of God in its (old) measure” or “proportions.”
