Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 24:13

"So the workmen wrought, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it." — 2 Chronicles 24:13 (ASV)

So the workmen worked. —Literally, And the makers of the work made.

And the work was perfected by them. —Literally, and a bandage was applied to the work by their hand. This curious metaphor, expressive of restoration, is used again in a similar way in Nehemiah 4:1, "a bandage was applied to the walls of Jerusalem." Jeremiah had used it before (Jeremiah 8:22; Jeremiah 30:17) of the national restoration.

And they set the house of God in his state. —Rather, and they made the house of God to stand according to the measure of it, i.e., in its original proportions. (Compare Exodus 30:32: màthkoneth, "measure," "proportion.") This verse is not read in Kings.

Before the king and Jehoiada. —The expression appears to be characteristic of the present account. (Compare Note on 2 Chronicles 24:11.)
