- 2 Chronicles 24:6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
- Matthew 17:24-27 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?” He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?” Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt. But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

the king's scribe; or secretary:
and the high priest's officer; his "sagan", or deputy priest:
came and emptied the chest; poured out the money, and told it, and put it up in bags, Kg2 12:10 and took it, and carried it to its place again, Ch2 24:8, by the hands of the Levites that brought it:
and thus they did day by day; as often as the chest was full, or they perceived there was much in it:
and gathered money in abundance; enough to repair the house, ornament it, and furnish it with vessels that were wanting.

(9) And they made a proclamation.—Literally, uttered a voice (or cry) in Judah. The phrase (nathan qôl) occurs here only in this sense. (Comp. Pro_1:20.)
To bring in to the Lord.—Comp. 2Ch_24:6. The meaning is, To bring into the Temple, for the Lord.

The collection.—Tax, or impost.
This verse, and the next one also, are peculiar to the chronicle. The writer is fond of dwelling on the willingness of the people in the good old time to contribute to the cause of religion; doubtless, by way of suggestion to his own contemporaries. (Comp. 1Ch_29:6; 1Ch_29:9; 1Ch_29:14.)
In Kings we read: “And the priests, the warders of the threshold, used to put into it all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.”
Until they had made an end.—This is correct. The same phrase recurs, 2Ch_31:1. The ancient versions wrongly give “until it was filled.” Killâh does not mean “to make full,” as is asserted in Lange’s Commentary, but to finish any action.
