2 Chronicles 24:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ As a result, the officials and all the people rejoiced, and they willingly brought their contributions, depositing them in the chest until it was filled.

¹¹ Whenever the chest was brought to the royal officials by the Levites, and it was evident that it contained a large amount of money, the king’s secretary and the representative of the chief priest would come to empty it and then return the chest to its designated place. They did this day after day and collected money in great abundance. ¹² Then the king and Jehoiada gave the money to those who were responsible for carrying out the work of the house of the Lord, and they also hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the Lord, while workers skilled in iron and bronze devoted themselves to making all the necessary repairs.
