Context — Joash Repairs the Temple

9And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness. 10All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.

11Whenever 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.

12Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD. 13So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.

2 Chronicles 24:10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end. Ver. 10-12. See 2 Kings 12:10-11.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:11

(11) Now.—And.At what time the chest was brought.—Literally, at the time when one used to bring the chest to the royal inspection (or, to the king’s officers pĕ ?quddâh), by the hand of the Levites; i.e., whenever the chest was brought, &c. The chronicler, as usual, is careful to record the participation of the Levites in the business. The king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest.—Rather, the king’s scribe (or accountant) and the high priest’s officer would come in and empty the chest; and they (i.e., the Levites) would take it up and restore it to its place.Kings has: “The king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and bound up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.” The substitution of “the high priest’s officer” for “the high priest” seems to be made in the interest of the high priest’s dignity. In the time of the chronicler the high priesthood was invested with all the greater majesty in that the monarchy was a thing of the distant past. Day by day.—That is, time after time, as often as the chest seemed full (lĕ ?yôm bĕ ?yôm). The Hebrew phrase only occurs here. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 12:22.)

Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 24:11

The king’s scribe ... came and emptied ... - Rather, “the king’s scribe came ... and they emptied” etc. i. e. the Levites who brought the chest from the temple emptied it in the presence of the scribe.
