Context of 2 Chronicles 24:15

13So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they restored the house of God according 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 offerings, 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. Now Jehoiada reached a good old age and he died; he was 130 years old at his death. 16And they buried him in the city of David with the kings, because he had done well in Israel and for God and His house. 17But after the death of Jehoiada the officials of Judah came and bowed down to the king, and the king listened to them.
