9. They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the Lord the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10. All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11. 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.
12. The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the Lord’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the Lord’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the Lord’s house.
13. So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
14. When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the Lord’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the Lord’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15. But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred and thirty years old when he died.
16. They buried him in David’s city amongst the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and towards God and his house.
