King Joash gave a command for a box to be made and put outside the gate at the Lord’s Temple.
Jesus sat near the Temple collection box and watched as people put money into it. Many rich people put in a lot of money.
Then the Levites made an announcement in Judah and Jerusalem. They told the people to bring in the tax money for the Lord. That tax money is what Moses the servant of God had required the Israelites to give while they were in the desert.
