Verse 14 is found in chapter 12 of 2 Kings. Joash orders the resources designated for the temple to be used to repair its deterioration. The account describes different mechanisms for administering the money and eventually states that the priests were not to oversee the construction directly, but were to deliver the designated funds to the workers. The administrative detail has literary importance because it shows that religious reform requires concrete structures of accountability. The temple is not treated merely as a spiritual symbol: its maintenance is part of Israel’s worship life. The narrative also highlights management that allowed resources to reach the work effectively.
