Tenham certeza de começar logo". De inicio os levitas nada fizeram. BSB BSB: So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
6 ULB Assim, o rei chamou Joiada, o sumo sacerdote, e disse-lhe: "Por que não requerestes dos levitas que trouxessem de Judá e Jerusalém a taxa estabelecida por Moisés, o servo de Yahweh, e pela assembleia de Israel, para a tenda dos decretos da aliança?". BSB BSB: So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”

11 ULB Aconteceu que, sempre que traziam o baú aos oficiais do rei pela mão dos levitas, e sempre que viam que havia muito dinheiro nele, o escriba do rei e o oficial do sumo sacerdote vinham e esvaziavam o baú, e o levavam de volta ao seu lugar. Fizeram isso dia após dia, juntando uma grande quantidade de dinheiro. BSB BSB: Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.

Ofereceram ofertas queimadas na Casa de Yahweh continuamente, todos os dias de Joiada. BSB BSB: When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and with it were made articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.

20 ULB O Espírito de Deus veio sobre Zacarias filho do sacerdote Joiada. Zacarias se levantou sobre o povo e disse-lhes: "Disse Deus: 'Por que vós estais transgredindo os mandamentos de Yahweh, fazendo com que não prospereis? Desde quando abandonaram Yahweh, Ele também vos abandonou'". BSB BSB: Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you.’”
