2 CHRONICLES 24:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord.”
The restoration work — completion — 'And the workers labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they restored the house of God to its proper condition, and strengthened it' (ויעשׂו הגדרים וחרשׁי העץ אל התקן וגם ישׁלחו חרשׁי הברזל וחרשׁי הנחשׁת לחזק ויכינו בבית אלהים). The workers prosecute the repair laboriously. The verb התקן (restored to proper/sound condition) indicates the temple returns to its original state. The additional reinforcement (ישׁלחו, extended/applied) by the metalworkers strengthens the structure. The restoration is comprehensive, addressing structural damage from neglect during Athaliah's period.
