But the Levites made no haste. ⁶ Then called the king for Yehoyada’ the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required from the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the contribution fixed by Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of the testimony? ⁷ For the sons of the wicked ‘Athalyahu have made breaches in the house of God; and also the holy things of the house of the Lord have they applied to the Be’alim. 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.

And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Yehoyada’.
