⁹ Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the Lord. The priests who guarded the entrance^(A) put into the chest all the money^(B) that was brought to the temple of the Lord.

¹⁰ Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary^(A) and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord and put it into bags.
