8 The king issued an order, and they made a box and placed it outside the gate of the LORD's temple. 9 Then they issued a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem that the contributions should be brought to the LORD. (In the desert the LORD's servant Moses had required Israel to make contributions.) 10 All the officials and all the people were overjoyed. They brought the money and dropped it into the box until it was full. 11 Whenever the Levites brought the box to the king's officers and they saw a lot of money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer would empty the box and put it back in its place. They would do this every day, so they collected a lot of money. 2 Chronicles 24:8-11, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
