2 Chronicles 24:8 In-Context

6 So the king called Jehoiada the high [priest] and said, "Why haven't you required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax [imposed by] the Lord's servant Moses and the assembly of Israel for the tent of the testimony?
7 For the sons of that wicked Athaliah broke into the Lord's temple and even used the sacred things of the Lord's temple for the Baals."
8 At the king's command a chest was made and placed outside the gate of the Lord's temple.
9 Then a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that the tax God's servant Moses [imposed] on Israel in the wilderness be brought to the Lord.
10 All the leaders and all the people rejoiced, brought [the tax], and put it in the chest until it was full.
