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. 10 So all the princes and all the people gladly brought their tax and placed it into the chest until they had completed paying the tax. 11 Whenever the chest was brought to the king's officials by the descendants of Levi, the royal secretary and the chief priest's designated officer would come, empty the chest, and take it back to its place. They did this day after day until they had collected a large amount of cash. 2 Chronicles 24:8-11, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
