8 And at the king’s order they made a chest, and placed it at the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the contribution fixed by Moses the servant of God upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought it in, and cast it into the chest, until it was full.
11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then came the king’s scribe and the high-priest’s officer and emptied the chest, and took it up, and brought it back to its place. Thus did they day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 And the king and Yehoyada’ gave it to those who overlooked the service of the house of the Lord, and these hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of the Lord, and also to the workers in iron and copper to repair the house of the Lord.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was restored through their means, and they replaced the house of God in its former state, and strengthened it.
14 And when they had completed it, they brought before the king and Yehoyada’ the rest of the money, and they made of it vessels for the house of the Lord, the vessels of the service and for the sacrificing, and the spoons, and other vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Yehoyada’.
