Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

All the officers and all the people rejoiced
This phrase highlights the unity and collective joy of the community in their service to God. The officers, likely referring to the leaders and officials of Judah, and the people together express a shared enthusiasm. This reflects a time of spiritual renewal under King Joash, who was influenced by the priest Jehoiada. The rejoicing indicates a heartfelt commitment to restoring the temple, which had fallen into disrepair. This communal joy can be compared to the joy seen in other biblical instances of temple restoration, such as inEzra 3:11 when the foundation of the second temple was laid.

and brought their contributions
The act of bringing contributions signifies the people's willingness to support the work of God financially. This was a freewill offering, demonstrating their dedication and gratitude. The contributions were likely in the form of money or valuable items, as was customary for temple repairs. This mirrors the contributions made for the construction of the Tabernacle inExodus 35:21-29, where the Israelites gave generously from their possessions.

and they dropped them in the chest
The chest was a secure collection box placed at the temple to gather funds for its repair. This method ensured transparency and accountability in handling the contributions. The use of a chest for collecting offerings is a practical measure that underscores the importance of integrity in managing God's resources. This practice is reminiscent of the collection boxes used in the New Testament, such as the treasury in the temple where Jesus observed the widow's offering inMark 12:41-44.

until it was full
The phrase indicates the abundance of the contributions, showing the people's overwhelming generosity. The chest being filled signifies the success of the fundraising effort and the community's commitment to the temple's restoration. This abundance can be seen as a fulfillment of God's provision when His people are united in purpose, similar to the overflowing blessings described inMalachi 3:10, where God promises to pour out blessings when His people bring the full tithe into the storehouse.

What Does 2 Chronicles 24:10 Mean

All the officers

“All the officers” tells us that the civic and military leaders of Judah stepped up first. Their prompt obedience set the tone for the whole nation, demonstrating that godly leadership models generosity (Exodus 35:27;1 Chronicles 29:6). When leaders give willingly, people see faith in action and are encouraged to do likewise (Hebrews 13:7).

and all the people

The response spread from leaders to “all the people.” Revival is never meant to remain in the pulpit or palace; it reaches the pew. Like the Israelites in Moses’ day who “every man and woman… brought a freewill offering to the LORD” (Exodus 35:29), everyone—rich and poor, rural and urban—had a share in restoring the house of God (Nehemiah 10:34–39).

rejoiced

Giving here is not grudging but joyful.2 Chronicles 24 links giving with delight, foreshadowing the New Testament word: “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Rejoicing proves that hearts are aligned with God’s priorities (Psalm 122:1).

and brought their contributions

Contributions were tangible—silver, gold, whatever was needed for temple repairs (2 Chronicles 24:11–12). Genuine faith translates into material action (James 2:17). A few practical truths emerge:

• God provides for His work through His people, not outside donors (Philippians 4:15–18).

• Giving is proportional and personal (Deuteronomy 16:17).

• Offerings advance worship by maintaining God’s dwelling place among His people (Haggai 1:3–8).

and they dropped them in the chest

King Joash placed a chest at the temple gate so gifts were collected transparently (2 Kings 12:9). Clear accountability removes suspicion and invites participation (1 Corinthians 16:2–3). The simple act of “dropping” shows deliberate, voluntary involvement—no coercion, no tax.

until it was full

Their eagerness kept the chest filling “day after day” (2 Chronicles 24:11). Abundance signals God’s blessing on wholehearted obedience (Malachi 3:10;Luke 6:38). When God’s people unite around His purposes, there is more than enough.

summary

2 Chronicles 24:10 pictures a contagious, joyful generosity that flows from leaders to the entire community, resulting in ample provision for God’s house. Leadership by example, universal participation, cheerful hearts, transparent collection, and overflowing supply together reveal how God stirs His people to meet every need when His worship is their delight.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. -Until they had made anend; Hebrew,לְכִּלֵּה, piel infin. The meaning can scarcely be tillenough was obtained, becauseday after day, as the next verso tells us, the chest was brought; but either till those who had come that day to give had all given in their contributions, or, as some think with much less probability, till the chest was full for the day. At the same time, the clause, occupying only one word in the original, may quite possibly purport to state summarily by anticipation that the same system was observed to the end, and the method of the chest not departed from.
