2 Chronicles 24:11

11 And when it was time, that they should bear the ark before the king('s) (officials) by the hands of deacons, for they saw much money, the clerk of the king entered, and he whom the first, or chief, priest had ordained, and they poured out the money, that was in the ark; and they bare again the ark to his place (And when it was time, that they should carry the box to the king's officials by the hands of the Levites, for they saw much money in it, the king's clerk entered, and he whom the High Priest had ordained, and they poured out the money, that was in the box; and then they put the box back in its place). And so they did by all days, and money without number was gathered together;

2 Chronicles 24:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:11

Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought
unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites
The place where his officer or officers met, appointed for this service; very probably in one of the chambers of the temple,

and when they saw that there was much money:
see ( 2 Kings 12:10 ) ,

the king's scribe;
or secretary:

and the high priest's officer;
his "sagan", or deputy priest:

came and emptied the chest;
poured out the money, and told it, and put it up in bags, ( 2 Kings 12:10 ) and took it, and carried it to its place again, ( 2 Chronicles 24:8 ) , by the hands of the Levites that brought it;

and thus they did day by day;
as often as the chest was full, or they perceived there was much in it:

and gathered money in abundance;
enough to repair the house, ornament it, and furnish it with vessels that were wanting.

2 Chronicles 24:11 In-Context

9 And it was preached in Judah and Jerusalem, that each man should bring to the Lord the price, that Moses, the servant of God, ordained upon all Israel, in desert. (And it was preached in Judah and Jerusalem, that everyone should bring to the Lord the tax, that Moses, the servant of God, had ordained upon all Israel, in the wilderness.)

10 And all the princes and all the people were glad, and they entered, and brought, and sent freely their gifts into the ark of the Lord (and freely put their gifts into the box for the Lord), so that it was filled with treasure.

11 And when it was time, that they should bear the ark before the king('s) (officials) by the hands of deacons, for they saw much money, the clerk of the king entered, and he whom the first, or chief, priest had ordained, and they poured out the money, that was in the ark; and they bare again the ark to his place (And when it was time, that they should carry the box to the king's officials by the hands of the Levites, for they saw much money in it, the king's clerk entered, and he whom the High Priest had ordained, and they poured out the money, that was in the box; and then they put the box back in its place). And so they did by all days, and money without number was gathered together;

12 which the king and Jehoiada gave to them that were (the) sovereigns of the works of the house of the Lord. And they hired thereof cutters of stones, and craftsmen of all works, that they should repair the house of the Lord; also they hired smiths of iron, and of brass, that that thing should be underset, that began to fall (and they hired ironsmiths, and bronze-workers, so that what had begun to fall, or to fail, could be strengthened).

13 They that wrought did craftily, and the crazing of the walls was stopped by the hands of them; and they raised the house of the Lord into the former state, and made it to stand steadfastly. (They who did the work did so with craftsmanship, and they repaired the breaches in the walls; and so they raised the House of the Lord back to its former state, and made it stand strong and steadfast.)
