2 Chronicles 24:4-16

4Some time laterH1961H310, JoashH3101 setH1961 his heartH3820 on repairingH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 5So he gatheredH6908 the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and saidH559, “Go outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and collectH6908 the moneyH3701 dueH1767 annuallyH8141 from allH3605 IsraelH3478, to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of your GodH430H859. Do itH1697 quicklyH4116.”

The Levites, howeverH3881, did notH3808 make hasteH4116. 6So the kingH4428 calledH7121 JehoiadaH3077 the highH7218 priest and saidH559, “WhyH4069 have you notH3808 requiredH1875H5921 the LevitesH3881 to bringH935 from JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 the tax imposedH4864 by MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 and by the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 for the TentH168 of the TestimonyH5715?”

7ForH3588 the sonsH1121 of that wicked womanH4849 AthaliahH6271 had broken intoH6555 the houseH1004 of GodH430 and had evenH1571H3605 usedH6213 the sacred objectsH6944 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 for the BaalsH1168.

8At the king’sH4428 commandH559 aH259 chestH727 was madeH6213 and placedH5414 outsideH2351, at the gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 9And a proclamationH6963 was issuedH5414 in JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 that they were to bringH935 to the LORDH3068 the taxH4864 imposed by MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 onH5921 IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057. 10AllH3605 the officersH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055 and brought their contributionsH935, and they dropped themH7993 in the chestH727 untilH5704 it was fullH3615.

WheneverH6256 the chestH727 was broughtH935 byH3027 the LevitesH3881 toH413 the king’sH4428 overseersH6486 and they sawH7200 thatH3588 there was a large amountH7227 of moneyH3701, the royalH4428 scribeH5608 and the officerH6496 of the highH7218 priestH3548 would comeH935 and emptyH6168 the chestH727 and carry itH5375 backH7725 toH413 its placeH4725. They didH6213 thisH3541 dailyH3117 and gatheredH622 the moneyH3701 in abundanceH7230. 12Then the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077 would giveH5414 the money to those whoH413 supervisedH6213H4399 the laborH5656 on the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068H1961 to hireH7936 stonecuttersH2672 and carpentersH2796 to restoreH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as well asH1571 workersH2796 in ironH1270 and bronzeH5178 to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

13So the workmenH6213H4399 laboredH6213, and in their handsH3027 the repairH724 workH4399 progressedH5927. They restoredH5975 the houseH1004 of GodH430 accordingH5921 to its specificationsH4971, and they reinforced itH553. 14When they were finishedH3615, they broughtH935 the restH7605 of the moneyH3701 toH6440 the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077, and with it were madeH6213 articlesH3627 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068—utensilsH3627 for the serviceH8335 and for the burnt offeringsH5927, dishesH3709, and other objectsH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701.

ThroughoutH3605 the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077, burnt offeringsH5930 were presentedH5927 regularlyH8548 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

15When Jehoiada was oldH2204 and full ofH7646 yearsH3117, he diedH4191 at the ageH8141 of 130H3967H7970.

16And Jehoiada was buriedH6912 withH5973 the kingsH4428 in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732, becauseH3588 he had doneH6213 what was goodH2896 in IsraelH3478 forH5973 GodH430 and His templeH1004.
