made a chest, and set
on 2 Chronicles 24:8-11
2 Kings 12:9 credits Jehoiada with boring a hole in a chest lid and setting it beside the altar; Chronicles credits the king's own commandment and places the chest without, at the gate of the house, a small shift in who acts and where the box stands. The proclamation goes out through Judah and Jerusalem, and Chronicles adds a detail Kings omits: all the princes and all the people rejoiced to bring the collection, casting it in until the chest was full. The Levites carry it to the king's office, where the scribe and the high priest's officer empty it and return it, gathering money in abundance day by day.
