2 Chronicles 24:4-14
Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord—(See on II Kings 12:4-16).
5 Then he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and agather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you do it quickly.” However the Levites did not do it quickly.
6 aSo the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of bMoses the servant of the Lord and of the assembly of Israel, for the ctabernacle of witness?”
7 For athe sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also presented all the bdedicated things of the house of the Lord to the Baals.
8 Then at the king’s command athey made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of the Lord.
9 And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord athe collection that Moses the servant of God had imposed on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Then all the leaders and all the people rejoiced, brought their contributions, and put them into the chest until all had given.
11 So it was, at that time, when the chest was brought to the king’s official by the hand of the Levites, and awhen they saw that there was much money, that the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
