    6So the king summoned Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?"

    7For the wicked Athaliah and her sons had broken into the house of God and had even used all the holy things of the Lord's house for the worship of the Baals.

    8At the king's order, they made a chest and placed it outside at the gate of the house of the Lord.

    9A proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the tax Moses, the servant of God, had imposed on Israel in the wilderness.

    10All the officials and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, dropping them into the chest until it was full.

    11Whenever the chest was brought to the king's steward by the Levites, and they saw there was a large amount of money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came, emptied the chest, and returned it to its place. They did this day after day and collected a great amount of money.

    12The king and Jehoiada gave the money to those who carried out the work of the Lord's temple. They hired stonemasons and carpenters to restore the temple and craftsmen to work with iron and bronze to repair the house of the Lord.

    13The workers diligently carried out their tasks, and the restoration of the temple made steady progress under their hands. They rebuilt the house of God according to its original design and strengthened it.

    7But by the twenty-third year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired the damage to the temple.

    8So King Joash called Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said to them, 'Why are you not repairing the damage to the temple? Therefore, do not take money from your donors anymore but give it directly for the temple’s repairs.'
