2 Chronicles 24:5-7
New King James Version
5 Then he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and (A)gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you do it quickly.”
However the Levites did not do it quickly. 6 (B)So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of (C)Moses the servant of the Lord and of the assembly of Israel, for the (D)tabernacle of witness?” 7 For (E)the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also presented all the (F)dedicated things of the house of the Lord to the Baals.

See that you do this promptly.” But when the L’vi’im procrastinated, 6 the king summoned Y’hoyada the chief and said to him, “Why haven’t you demanded that the L’vi’im bring in from Y’hudah and Yerushalayim the tax prescribed by Moshe the servant of Adonai and by the community of Isra’el, for the tent of the testimony?” 7 For the sons of that wicked ‘Atalyahu had broken up the house of God, and they had given all the consecrated things belonging to the house of Adonai to the ba‘alim.
