2 KINGS 12:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.”
Whenever they saw that the chest had a large amount of money in it, the king's secretary and the high priest came up, counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and tied it up in bags — the joint oversight (royal secretary and high priest) creates accountability. The counting and bagging protect the temple funds.
