One day King Joash said to the priests,“ Collect all the money brought as a sacred offering to the Lord’s Temple, whether it is a regular assessment, a payment of vows, or a voluntary gift.

From the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and 172 of their associates, who guarded the gates.

They gave Hilkiah the high priest the money that had been collected by the Levites who served as gatekeepers at the Temple of God. The gifts were brought by people from Manasseh, Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, as well as from all Judah, Benjamin, and the people of Jerusalem.He entrusted the money to the men assigned to supervise the restoration of the Lord’s Temple. Then they paid the workers who did the repairs and renovation of the Temple.They hired carpenters and builders, who purchased finished stone for the walls and timber for the rafters and beams. They restored what earlier kings of Judah had allowed to fall into ruin.The workers served faithfully under the leadership of Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the Merarite clan, and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites of the Kohathite clan. Other Levites, all of whom were skilled musicians,were put in charge of the laborers of the various trades. Still others assisted as secretaries, officials, and gatekeepers.While they were bringing out the money collected at the Lord’s Temple, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord that was written by Moses.Hilkiah said to Shaphan the court secretary,“ I have found the Book of the Law in the Lord’s Temple!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.Shaphan took the scroll to the king and reported,“ Your officials are doing everything they were assigned to do.The money that was collected at the Temple of the Lord has been turned over to the supervisors and workmen.”Shaphan also told the king,“ Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll.” So Shaphan read it to the king.

So the priests agreed not to accept any more money from the people, and they also agreed to let others take responsibility for repairing the Temple.Then Jehoiada the priest bored a hole in the lid of a large chest and set it on the right hand side of the altar at the entrance of the Temple of the Lord. The priests guarding the entrance put all of the people’s contributions into the chest.Whenever the chest became full, the court secretary and the high priest counted the money that had been brought to the Lord’s Temple and put it into bags.Then they gave the money to the construction supervisors, who used it to pay the people working on the Lord’s Temple— the carpenters, the builders,

A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

They were assigned by families for guard duty at the various gates, without regard to age or training, for it was all decided by means of sacred lots.The responsibility for the east gate went to Meshelemiah and his group. The north gate was assigned to his son Zechariah, a man of unusual wisdom.The south gate went to Obed edom, and his sons were put in charge of the storehouse.Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate and the gateway leading up to the Temple. Guard duties were divided evenly.Six Levites were assigned each day to the east gate, four to the north gate, four to the south gate, and two pairs at the storehouse.Six were assigned each day to the west gate, four to the gateway leading up to the Temple, and two to the courtyard.These were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the clans of Korah and Merari.

In assigning the priests to their duties, Solomon followed the regulations of his father, David. He also assigned the Levites to lead the people in praise and to assist the priests in their daily duties. And he assigned the gatekeepers to their gates by their divisions, following the commands of David, the man of God.

So now the king ordered a chest to be made and set outside the gate leading to the Temple of the Lord.Then a proclamation was sent throughout Judah and Jerusalem, telling the people to bring to the Lord the tax that Moses, the servant of God, had required of the Israelites in the wilderness.This pleased all the leaders and the people, and they gladly brought their money and filled the chest with it.Whenever the chest became full, the Levites would carry it to the king’s officials. Then the court secretary and an officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and take it back to the Temple again. This went on day after day, and a large amount of money was collected.The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the construction supervisors, who hired masons and carpenters to restore the Temple of the Lord. They also hired metalworkers, who made articles of iron and bronze for the Lord’s Temple.

Shallum was the son of Kore, a descendant of Abiasaph, from the clan of Korah. He and his relatives, the Korahites, were responsible for guarding the entrance to the sanctuary, just as their ancestors had guarded the Tabernacle in the camp of the Lord.

Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts.Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins.
