2 Chronicles 24:9

Compare all

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.

12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the Lord; and they hired masons and carpenters to ^arepair the house of the Lord, and also those who worked in iron and bronze to restore the house of the Lord.

13 So the workmen labored, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it.

14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; ^athey made from it articles for the house of the Lord, articles for serving and offering, spoons and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.

Apostasy of Joash

15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old when he died.

16 And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and His house.
