Context of 2 Chronicles 24:15

13So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it. 14When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and with it were made articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD. When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130. 16And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple. 17After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.
