6 so the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and asked him, |Why haven't you required the descendants of Levi to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax levied by Moses, the LORD's servant, and the assembly of Israel for the Tent of Testimony?| 7 Because that wicked woman Athaliah's family members had broken into the Temple of God and used the consecrated implements of the LORD's Temple for service to the Baals, 8 the king issued an order and a chest was made and set outside the entrance gate to the LORD's Temple. 9 A public notice was sent throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring in the tax that Moses the servant of the LORD had levied on Israel when they were in the wilderness. 2 Chronicles 24:6-9, Intl.
