Jehoash said to the priests,“ I place at your disposal all the consecrated silver that has been brought to the LORD’s temple, including the silver collected from the census tax, the silver received from those who have made vows, and all the silver that people have voluntarily contributed to the LORD’s temple.

And the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon and their colleagues who were guarding the gates– 172.

They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the silver that had been brought to God’s temple. The Levites who guarded the door had collected it from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim and from all who were left in Israel, as well as from all the people of Judah and Benjamin and the residents of Jerusalem.They handed it over to the construction foremen assigned to the LORD’s temple. They in turn paid the temple workers to restore and repair it.They gave money to the craftsmen and builders to buy chiseled stone and wood for the braces and rafters of the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to fall into disrepair.The men worked faithfully. Their supervisors were Jahath and Obadiah( Levites descended from Merari), as well as Zechariah and Meshullam( descendants of Kohath). The Levites, all of whom were skilled musicians,supervised the laborers and all the foremen on their various jobs. Some of the Levites were scribes, officials, and guards.When they took out the silver that had been brought to the LORD’s temple, Hilkiah the priest found the law scroll the LORD had given to Moses.Hilkiah informed Shaphan the scribe,“ I found the law scroll in the LORD’s temple.” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.Shaphan brought the scroll to the king and reported,“ Your servants are doing everything assigned to them.They melted down the silver in the LORD’s temple and handed it over to the supervisors of the construction foremen.”Then Shaphan the scribe told the king,“ Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll.” Shaphan read it out loud before the king.

The priests agreed not to collect silver from the people and relieved themselves of personal responsibility for the temple repairs.Jehoiada the priest took a chest and drilled a hole in its lid. He placed it on the right side of the altar near the entrance of the LORD’s temple. The priests who guarded the entrance would put into it all the silver brought to the LORD’s temple.When they saw the chest was full of silver, the royal secretary and the high priest counted the silver that had been brought to the LORD’s temple and bagged it up.They would then hand over the silver that had been weighed to the construction foremen assigned to the LORD’s temple. They hired carpenters and builders to work on the LORD’s temple,

Shallum was the father of Hilkiah, and Hilkiah was the father of Azariah.

Certainly spending just one day in your temple courts is better than spending a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the entrance to the temple of my God than live in the tents of the wicked.

They cast lots, both young and old, according to their families, to determine which gate they would be responsible for.The lot for the east gate went to Shelemiah. They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise adviser, and the lot for the north gate went to him.Obed-Edom was assigned the south gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses.Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate, along with the Shalleketh gate on the upper road. One guard was adjacent to another.Each day there were six Levites posted on the east, four on the north, and four on the south. At the storehouses they were posted in pairs.At the court on the west there were four posted on the road and two at the court.These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.

As his father David had decreed, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to do their assigned tasks, the Levitical orders to lead worship and help the priests with their daily tasks, and the divisions of the gatekeepers to serve at their assigned gates. This was what David the man of God had ordered.

The king ordered a chest to be made and placed outside the gate of the LORD’s temple.An edict was sent throughout Judah and Jerusalem requiring the people to bring to the LORD the tax that Moses, God’s servant, imposed on Israel in the wilderness.All the officials and all the people gladly brought their silver and threw it into the chest until it was full.Whenever the Levites brought the chest to the royal accountant and they saw there was a lot of silver, the royal scribe and the accountant of the high priest emptied the chest and then took it back to its place. They went through this routine every day and collected a large amount of silver.The king and Jehoiada gave it to the construction foremen assigned to the LORD’s temple. They hired carpenters and craftsmen to repair the LORD’s temple, as well as those skilled in working with iron and bronze to restore the LORD’s temple.

Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his relatives from his family( the Korahites) were assigned to guard the entrance to the sanctuary. Their ancestors had guarded the entrance to the LORD’s dwelling place.
