2 Chronicles 24:5-14

5He gathered the priests and Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect money from all 1Israel to 2repair the house of your God 3annually, and you shall do the matter quickly.” But the Levites did not act quickly. 6So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem 4the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the Lord on the congregation of Israel 5for the tent of the testimony?” 7For 6the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and even 7used the holy things of the house of the Lord for the Baals.

8So the king commanded, and 8they made a chest and set it outside by the gate of the house of the Lord. 99They made a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord 10the levy fixed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness. 10All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought in their levies and 11dropped them into the chest until they had finished. 11It came about whenever the chest was brought in to the king’s officer by the Levites, and when 12they saw that there was much money, then the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer would come, empty the chest, take it, and return it to its place. Thus they did daily and collected much money. 12The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the Lord; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the Lord, and also workers in iron and bronze to 13repair the house of the Lord. 13So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they 14restored the house of God 15according to its specifications and strengthened it. 14When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and it was made into utensils for the house of the Lord, utensils for the service and the burnt offering, and pans and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.
