And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
When they finished the work, they brought the leftover money to the king and Jehoiada. With this money, they made items for the LORD's temple - tools for worship and offerings, spoons, and vessels made of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD's temple regularly throughout all of Jehoiada's lifetime.
This verse shows how the leftover money from temple repairs was used to make beautiful worship items, and how faithful worship continued under Jehoiada's leadership.
