2 Chronicles 24:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ When the Levites would take the box to the king’s ·officers [officials; accountants], they would see that ·it was full [there was a lot] of money. Then the king’s ·royal secretary [scribe] and the ·leading [chief; high] priest’s officer would come and ·take out the money [empty the chest] and return ·the box [^Lit] to its place. They did this ·often [^Lday after day] and gathered much money. ¹² King Joash and Jehoiada gave the money to the people who worked on the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. And they hired ·stoneworkers [masons] and carpenters to ·repair [restore] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. They also hired people to work with iron and bronze to ·repair [restore] the ·Temple [^Lhouse].

¹³ The people worked hard, and the work to ·repair [restore] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] ·went well [progressed]. They ·rebuilt [restored] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of God ·to be as it was before [according to its original design/specifications], but even stronger.
