7For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of Yahweh’s house to the Baals.
8So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of Yahweh’s house.

10All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11Whenever 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.
