2 Chronicles 24:4-14

4Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 thisH3651 that JoashH3060 1decidedH1961 H5973 H3820 2to restoreH2318 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 5He gatheredH6908 the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 and saidH559 to them, “GoH3318 out to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and collectH6908 moneyH3701 from allH3605 3IsraelH3478 to 4repairH2388 the houseH1004 of your GodH430 5annuallyH1767 H8141, and you shall doH4116 the matterH1697 quicklyH4116.” But the LevitesH3881 did not actH4116 quicklyH4116. 6So the kingH4428 summonedH7121 JehoiadaH3077 the chiefH7218 priest and saidH559 to him, “WhyH4069 have you not requiredH1875 the LevitesH3881 to bringH935 in from JudahH3063 and from JerusalemH3389 6the levyH4864 fixed by MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068 on the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 7for the tentH168 of the testimonyH5715?” 7For 8the sonsH1121 of the wickedH4849 AthaliahH6271 had brokenH6555 into the houseH1004 of GodH430 and evenH1571 9usedH6213 the holyH6944 thingsH6944 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 for the BaalsH1168.

8So the kingH4428 commandedH559, and 10they madeH6213 a chestH727 and setH5414 it outsideH2351 by the gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 9 11They madeH5414 a proclamationH6963 in JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 to bringH935 to the LordH3068 12the levyH4864 fixed by MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 on IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057. 10AllH3605 the officersH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055 and broughtH935 in their levies and 13droppedH7993 them into the chestH727 untilH5704 they had finishedH3615. 11It cameH1961 about wheneverH6256 the chestH727 was broughtH935 in to the king’sH4428 officerH6496 by the LevitesH3881, and when 14they sawH7200 that there was muchH7227 moneyH3701, then the king’sH4428 scribeH5613 and the chiefH7218 priest’sH3548 officerH6496 would comeH935, emptyH6168 the chestH727, takeH5375 it, and returnH7725 it to its placeH4725. ThusH3541 they didH6213 dailyH3117 and collectedH622 muchH7230 moneyH3701. 12The kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077 gaveH5414 it to those who didH6213 the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068; and they hiredH7936 masonsH2672 and carpentersH2796 to restoreH2318 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and alsoH1571 workersH2796 in ironH1270 and bronzeH5178 to 15repairH2388 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 13So the workmenH4399 H6213 laboredH6213, and the repairH724 workH4399 progressedH5927 in their handsH3027, and they 16restoredH5975 the houseH1004 of GodH430 17accordingH5921 to its specificationsH4971 and strengthenedH553 it. 14When they had finishedH3615, they broughtH935 the restH7605 of the moneyH3701 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077; and it was madeH6213 into utensilsH3627 for the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, utensilsH3627 for the serviceH8335 and the burntH5930 offeringH5930, and pansH3709 and utensilsH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701. And they offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 continuallyH8548 allH3605 the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077.
