2 Chronicles 24:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ All the ·officers [leaders; officials] and people ·were happy to bring [rejoiced and brought] their ·money [levies; contributions], and they put it in the box until the box was full. ¹¹ When the Levites would take the box to the king’s ·officers [officials; accountants], they would see that ·it was full [there was a lot] of money. Then the king’s ·royal secretary [scribe] and the ·leading [chief; high] priest’s officer would come and ·take out the money [empty the chest] and return ·the box [^Lit] to its place. They did this ·often [^Lday after day] and gathered much money. ¹² King Joash and Jehoiada gave the money to the people who worked on the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. And they hired ·stoneworkers [masons] and carpenters to ·repair [restore] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. They also hired people to work with iron and bronze to ·repair [restore] the ·Temple [^Lhouse].
