Hver gang kisten ble brakt til kongens tjenere av levittenes hender, og de så at det var mye penger, kom kongens skriver og prestenes leder, tømte kisten, og tok den med til sitt sted igjen. Dette gjorde de dag etter dag og samlet mye penger.
It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
