Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
At nagkagayon, nang dalhin ang kaban sa kawanihan ng hari, sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mga Levita, at nang kanilang makita na maraming salapi, na ang kalihim ng hari at ang pinuno ng pangulong saserdote ay naparoon at inalisan ng laman ang kaban, at kinuha, at dinala uli sa dakong kinaroroonan. Ganito ang kanilang ginawa araw-araw, at nagtipon ng salapi na sagana.
