Voorbereidingen voor het vaststellen van de tempel

King Joash stands in royal authority beside priests, officials, and a servant carrying a wooden offering chest, as plans are made to restore the neglected temple of the Lord. The gathered elders and attendants show the seriousness of the work: money must be collected, trusted hands must oversee it, and the sacred house must be repaired for worship. The scene reflects the account in 2 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 24, where Joash, guided by the priest Jehoiada, commands that a chest be prepared to receive offerings for the temple restoration. The story teaches faithful stewardship, covenant renewal, and the duty of God’s people to honor the place set apart for worship.
