2 Chronicles 24:10

And all the princes and all the people rejoiced
When they heard the proclamation, and understood for what use the money was to be given, and in what manner; all was agreeable and pleasing to them:

and brought in, and cast into the chest;
through the hole that was in the lid of it, ( 2 Kings 12:9 ) ,

until they had made an end:
everyone had given as much as he could, or thought fit to give.

2 Chronicles 24:10 In-Context

8 So now the king ordered a chest to be made and set outside the gate leading to the Temple of the LORD .

9 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.

10 This pleased all the leaders and the people, and they gladly brought their money and filled the chest with it.

11 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.

12 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.
