6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, |Why haven't you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?|

7 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 Yahweh did they bestow on the Baals.

8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Yahweh.

9 They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh 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 made an end.
