2 Chronicles 24 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
7 For the most impious Athalia, & her children have destroyed the house of God, and of all things that had been sanctified in the temple of our Lord, they adorned the temple of Baalim.
8 The king therefore commanded and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of our Lord on the out side.
9 And it was proclaimed in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring the price to our Lord, which Moyses the servant of God appointed over all Israel, in the desert.
10 And all the Princes rejoiced, and all the people: and going in they contributed into the chest of our Lord, and cast in so that it was filled.
11 And when it was time that they should bring the chest before the king by the hands of Levites (for they saw much money) the king's Scribe went in, and he whom the high Priest had appointed: & they poured out the money that was in the chest, and recarried it to his place: and so did they from day to day, and there was gathered infinite money.
12 Which the king and Joiada gave to them, that oversaw the works of the house of our Lord: but they hired with it hewers of stones, and artificers of all works, to repair the house of our Lord: smiths also of iron and brass, that that which began to fall might be upholden.
13 And they that wrought did industriously, and the breach of the walls was closed by their hands, and they raised the house of our Lord into the old state, and made it stand firmly.
14 And when they had accomplished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: of the which were made vessels of the temple to the ministry, and for holocausts, phials also, and other vessels of gold and silver, and holocausts were offered in the house of our Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
