And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

Verse 5 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 versammelte die Priester und Leviten und sprach zu ihnen: Ziehet aus zu allen Städten Juda's und sammelt Geld aus ganz Israel, das Haus eures Gottes zu bessern jährlich, und eilet, solches zu tun. Aber die Leviten eilten nicht.
Y juntó los sacerdotes y los Levitas, y díjoles: Salid por las ciudades de Judá, y juntad dinero de todo Israel, para que cada año sea reparada la casa de vuestro Dios; y vosotros poned diligencia en el negocio. Mas los Levitas no pusieron diligencia.
Il assembla les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et leur dit: Allez par les villes de Juda, et vous recueillerez dans tout Israël de l'argent, chaque année, pour réparer la maison de votre Dieu; et mettez à cette affaire de l'empressement. Mais les Lévites ne se hâtèrent point.
Perciò adunò i sacerdoti e i Leviti, e disse loro: Andate per le città di Giuda, e raccogliete, anno per anno, da tutto Israele, danari per ristorar la Casa dell’Iddio vostro; e voi sollecitate questo affare. Ma i Leviti non lo sollecitarono.
Reuniu, pois, os sacerdotes e os levitas, e disse-lhes: Saí pelas cidades de Judá, e levantai dinheiro de todo o Israel para reparar a casa do vosso Deus de ano em ano; e vós, apressai este negócio. Porém os levitas não se apressaram.
就召集祭司和 利未 人,吩咐他們說:「你們要往 猶大 各城去,向 以色列 眾人徵收銀子,按每年的需要整修你們上帝的殿;你們要急速辦理這事。」但 利未 人沒有急速辦理。
