8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of LORD.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
11 And it was so, that, at what ever time the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of LORD. And they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of LORD.
13 So the workmen labored, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.
14 And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the house of LORD, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
