Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Chronicles. Joash begins repairing the temple under Jehoiada’s direction. When the initial collection does not proceed adequately, a chest specifically intended for contributions is established. The money collected allows the temple to be repaired and its utensils renewed. The reform shows the relationship between financial administration and maintenance of worship.

Und wenn's Zeit war, daß man die Lade herbringen sollte durch die Leviten nach des Königs Befehl (wenn sie sahen, daß viel Geld darin war), so kam der Schreiber des Königs und wer vom vornehmsten Priester Befehl hatte, und schüttete die Lade aus und trugen sie wieder an ihren Ort. So taten sie alle Tage, daß sie Geld die Menge zuhauf brachten.
Y como venía el tiempo para llevar el arca al magistrado del rey por mano de los Levitas, cuando veían que había mucho dinero, venía el escriba del rey, y el que estaba puesto por el sumo sacerdote, y llevaban el arca, y vaciábanla, y volvíanla a su lugar: y así lo hacían de día en día, y recogían mucho dinero;
Cuando los levitas llevaban el cofre a los funcionarios del rey y veían que había mucho dinero, venían el secretario del rey y el encargado del principal sacerdote, vaciaban el cofre, se lo llevaban y lo devolvían a su lugar. Así lo hacían día tras día, y recogían dinero en abundancia.
Quand c'était le moment où les Lévites, voyant qu'il y avait beaucoup d'argent dans le coffre, devaient le livrer aux inspecteurs royaux, le secrétaire du roi et le commissaire du souverain sacrificateur venaient vider le coffre; ils le prenaient et le remettaient à sa place; ils faisaient ainsi journellement, et ils recueillirent de l'argent en abondance.
Ora, quando la cassetta si portava, per le mani de’ Leviti, a quelli ch’erano deputati del re il che si faceva, quando vedevano che vi erano dentro danari assai, il segretario del re, ed un commessario del sommo sacerdote venivano, e vuotavano la cassetta; poi la riportavano, e la rimettevano nel suo luogo. Così facevano ogni giorno; e raccolsero gran quantità di danari.
E sucedia que, quando levavam o cofre pelas mãos dos levitas, segundo o mandado do rei, e vendo-se que já havia muito dinheiro, vinha o escrivão do rei, e o oficial do sumo sacerdote, e esvaziavam o cofre, e tomavam-no e levavam-no de novo ao seu lugar; assim faziam de dia em dia, e ajuntaram dinheiro em abundância.
利未 人見銀子多了,把櫃子抬到王所派的官長面前;這時王的書記和祭司長的助手就會來把櫃子倒空,然後放回原處。日日都是這樣做,積蓄的銀子很多。
