The workmen laboured, and the repair moved forward in their hands. They set the house of God back on its proper measure and reinforced it.
In context
11Whenever the chest was carried by the Levites to the king’s inspectors and they saw that there was a great deal of money in it, the king’s scribe and the officer of the chief priest would come, empty the chest, then lift it and carry it back to its place. This they did day after day, and they collected money in abundance. 12The king and Jehoiada handed it over to those in charge of the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and they hired stonecutters and craftsmen to renew the house of Yahweh, and workers in iron and bronze to strengthen it. 13The workmen laboured, and the repair moved forward in their hands. They set the house of God back on its proper measure and reinforced it. 14When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and it was made into vessels for the house of Yahweh — vessels for the service and for the offerings, and dishes, and vessels of gold and silver. And burnt offerings were offered in the house of Yahweh continually, all the days of Jehoiada. 15Jehoiada grew old and full of days, and he died; he was a hundred and thirty years old at his death.
