2 Chronicles 24:14When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Yahweh, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually all the days of Jehoiada.

Jerusalem, ~800 BC. The temple restoration is complete ahead of schedule and under budget. King Joash and priest Jehoiada stand before piles of leftover silver, deciding what to do with the surplus...
The emotion here: recording with wonder how God's provision exceeded every expectation
The original word
keli (כלי) — vessels, tools, instruments designed for holy service
Why it matters
The original temple vessels were either destroyed or taken by Queen Athaliah during her murderous reign
