- 利未人見銀子多了、就把櫃抬到王所派的司事面前、王的書記和大祭司的屬員來、將櫃倒空、仍放在原處、日日都是這樣.積蓄的銀子甚多。
- 王與耶何耶大將銀子交給耶和華殿裡辦事的人.他們就雇了石匠、木匠、重修耶和華的殿.又雇了鐵匠、銅匠、修理耶和華的殿。
- 工人操作、漸漸修成、將 神殿修造的、與從前一樣、而且甚是堅固。
- 工程完了、他們就把其餘的銀子、拿到王與耶何耶大面前、用以製造耶和華殿供奉所用的器皿、和調羹、並金銀的器皿。耶何耶大在世的時侯、眾人常在耶和華殿裡獻燔祭。
- 耶何耶大年紀老邁、日子滿足而死.死的時候、年一百三十歲.

- 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.
- And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
- So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
- And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
- But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
