12:9-11 Joash’s solution for securing and distributing the money for Temple repairs included placing a large chest at an accessible place to receive the people’s contributions. When Joash informed the people of the need for a tax and voluntary offerings to complete the repairs, they “gladly brought their money and filled the chest with it” (2 Chr 24:9-10). With sufficient funds on hand, the money was given to the construction supervisors and the repair and restoration of the Temple began.
