Exegesis
The Piel temaharu {תְּמַהֲרוּ | təmahrū} ‘hasten’ conveys urgency, contrasted by the negated Piel miharu {מִהֲרוּ | mihharū} ‘they hastened not,’ highlighting the Levites’ lack of prompt response.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:5
And he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect from all Israel money to strengthen the house of your God from year to year; and you, hasten the matter .” But the Levites did not hasten.
