Context of 2 Chronicles 24:15

13They worked hard and made the repairs. They followed the measurements specified for God’s temple and restored it. 14When they were finished, they brought the rest of the silver to the king and Jehoiada. They used it to make items for the Lord’s temple, including items used in the temple service and for burnt sacrifices, pans, and various other gold and silver items. Throughout Jehoiada’s lifetime, burnt sacrifices were offered regularly in the Lord’s temple. Jehoiada grew old and died at the age of 130. 16He was buried in the City of David with the kings, because he had accomplished good in Israel and for God and his temple. 17After Jehoiada died, the officials of Judah visited the king and declared their loyalty to him. The king listened to their advice.
