Context of 2 Chronicles 24:9

7(The sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into God’s temple and used all the holy things of the Lord’s temple ⌞to worship⌟ other gods—the Baals.) 8The king issued an order, and they made a box and placed it outside the gate of the Lord’s temple. Then they issued a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem that the contributions should be brought to the Lord. (In the desert the Lord’s servant Moses had required Israel to make contributions.) 10All the officials and all the people were overjoyed. They brought the money and dropped it into the box until it was full. 11Whenever the Levites brought the box to the king’s officers and they saw a lot of money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer would empty the box and put it back in its place. They would do this every day, so they collected a lot of money.
