6 So the king called Jehoiada (YHWH knows) the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah (praised) and Jerusalem (city of peace) the tax imposed by Moses (drawn out) the servant of the LORD {YHWH} and by the assembly of Israel (he wrestles with God) for the Tent of the Testimony?” 7 For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah (afflicted of YHWH) had broken into the house of God {Elohim} and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD {YHWH} for the Baals (lord). 8 At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD {YHWH}. 9 And a proclamation was issued in Judah (praised) and Jerusalem (city of peace) that they were to bring to the LORD {YHWH} the tax imposed by Moses (drawn out) the servant of God {Elohim} on Israel (he wrestles with God) in the wilderness. 10 All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full. 2 Chronicles 24:6-10, Berean Annotated Bible.
