2 Chronicles 24:6-14
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 1the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the Lord on the congregation of Israel 2for the tent of the testimony?” 7For 3the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and even 4used the holy things of the house of the Lord for the Baals.
8So the king commanded, and 5they made a chest and set it outside by the gate of the house of the Lord. 96They made a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord 7the 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 8dropped 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 9they 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 10repair the house of the Lord. 13So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they 11restored the house of God 12according 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.
