2 Chronicles 24:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ So King Joash called Jehoiada the leading priest. Joash said to him, “Why haven’t you made the Levites bring in the tax money from Judah and Jerusalem? Moses the Lord’s servant and the people of Israel used that money for the Holy Tent.”

⁷ In the past the sons of wicked Athaliah had broken into the Temple of God. They had used its holy things for worshiping the Baal idols.

⁸ King Joash commanded that a box for contributions be made. It was to be put outside, at the gate of the Temple of the Lord.
