2 Chronicles 24:11-14

24:11 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.

24:12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to the construction foremen ¹  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. 24:13 They worked hard and made the repairs. ²  They followed the measurements specified for God’s temple and restored it. ³  24:14 When they were finished, they brought the rest of the silver to the king and Jehoiada. They used it to make items for the Lord’s temple, including items used in the temple service and for burnt sacrifices, pans, and various other gold and silver items. Throughout Jehoiada’s lifetime, burnt sacrifices were offered regularly in the Lord’s temple.

2 Chronicles 22:5-7

22:5 He followed their advice and joined Ahab’s son King Joram ⁶  of Israel in a battle against King Hazael of Syria ⁷  at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram. 22:6 Joram ⁸  returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians ⁹  in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. Ahaziah ¹⁰  son of King Jehoram of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he had been wounded. ¹¹ 

22:7 God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall through his visit to Joram. ¹²  When Ahaziah ¹³  arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had commissioned ¹⁴  to wipe out Ahab’s family. ¹⁵
