And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to the commandment] of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
2 Chronicles 24:6 — KJV

The chief. That is, head of the priests.
Commandment of Moses. These regulations assigned a half-shekel tax for the service of the sanctuary (Ex. 30:13-16). According to 2 Kings 12:4 moneys received from “the dedicated things” — from individuals who had made vows to the Lord or who had dedicated certain animals or objects to Him (see Lev. 27:2-28) — had also been assigned to this project. In addition there were freewill offerings. According to 2 Kings 12:7, 8, the priests had been receiving money from the people but had not turned it over for the work of Temple repair.
