And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
Reunió a los sacerdotes y levitas y les dijo: 'Salgan a todas las ciudades de Judá y recojan dinero de todo Israel para reparar el templo de Dios cada año. Asegúrense de hacer esto rápidamente.' Pero los levitas no se apresuraron a hacerlo.
El rey ordenó a los sacerdotes y levitas recoger dinero para reparar el templo, pero ellos no actuaron con rapidez.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This takes place during the reign of King Joash of Judah (around 835-796 BC), who became king as a child and was guided by the priest Jehoiada. The temple had been damaged and neglected during the evil reign of Queen Athaliah, and Joash was now working to restore it. The Levites were responsible for temple maintenance and religious duties, but they were apparently reluctant or slow to carry out this fundraising campaign.
