14:024:002 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the lord
           all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

14:024:003 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and
           daughters.

14:024:004 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to
           repair the house of the lord.

14:024:005 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said
           to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all
           Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to
           year, and see that ye hasten the matter.  Howbeit the Levites
           hastened it not.

14:024:006 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him,
           Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of
           Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the
           commandment of Moses the servant of the lord, and of the
           congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

14:024:007 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the
           house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house
           of the lord did they bestow upon Baalim.

14:024:008 And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it
           without at the gate of the house of the lord.

14:024:009 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to
           bring in to the lord the collection that Moses the servant of
           God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

14:024:010 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought
           in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

14:024:011 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought
           unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when
           they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the
           high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it,
           and carried it to his place again.  Thus they did day by day,
           and gathered money in abundance.

14:024:012 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of
           the service of the house of the lord, and hired masons and
           carpenters to repair the house of the lord, and also such as
           wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the lord.

14:024:013 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them,
           and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened
           it.

14:024:014 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the
           money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels
           for the house of the lord, even vessels to minister, and to
           offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver.  And
           they offered burnt offerings in the house of the lord
           continually all the days of Jehoiada.
