What does 2 Chronicles 24:5 mean?

He gathered the priests and Levites and told them, 'Go out to the towns of Judah and collect money from all Israel every year to repair the temple of your God. Do it quickly.' But the Levites didn't get it done right away. 2 Chronicles 24:5 - Modern Text Bible

(Joash orders the priests and Levites to collect funds for temple repairs, but they don't act quickly, hinting at some reluctance or disorganization.)
