2 Chronicles 24:13

So the workmen wrought
The masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and brasiers:

and the work was perfected by them;
the business of repairs was completely finished:

and they set the house of God in his state;
as it was at first:

and strengthened it;
so that it seemed as firm and stable as when first built.

2 Chronicles 24:13 In-Context

11 And whenever he brought the chest to the appointee of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that [there was] much money [in it], then the secretary of the king and the officer of the chief priest came and emptied the chest, then they took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day and gathered money in abundance.

12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh. And they hired stonemasons and skilled craftsmen to restore the house of Yahweh, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of Yahweh.

13 So those doing the work labored, and the restoration for the work made progress under their hand. And they restored the house of God to its position and strengthened it.

14 And when they had finished, they brought the remainder of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and they used it [for] objects for the house of Yahweh, objects for the service and the burnt offerings, dishes, and objects of gold and silver. And they were offering burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh regularly, all the days of Jehoiada.

15 And Jehoiada grew old and full of days, and he died; [he was] one hundred and thirty years old at his death.
