Whenever they saw there was a large amount of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the high priest would go to the LORD’s temple and count the money found there and tie it up in bags. Then they would put the counted money into the hands of those doing the work — those who oversaw the LORD’s temple. They in turn would pay it out to those working on the LORD’s temple — the carpenters, the builders, the masons, and the stonecutters — and would use it to buy timber and quarried stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s temple and for all spending for temple repairs.

Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the LORD’s temple; in it the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money brought into the LORD’s temple.
