This site's exposition
was minded to repair
on 2 Chronicles 24:4-7
Chronicles alone explains why the house needed repair: the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God and given its dedicated things to the Baals, so the project answers a specific act of desecration rather than mere age. Joash orders the Levites to gather money by the commandment of Moses for the tabernacle of witness, but the Levites hasten it not, and the king must call Jehoiada to account for the delay. Where 2 Kings 12 records the same slow start without naming a cause, Chronicles supplies the motive: Baal worship had already reached inside the temple once, under the very queen Jehoiada had helped overthrow.
