Contextual Overview
24 I chose twelve of the leading priests—Sherebiah, Hashabiah and ten of their relatives. 25Then I weighed the gifts that had been given for God's temple, and I divided them among the twelve priests I had chosen. There were gifts of silver and gold, as well as the articles that the king, his advisors and officials, and the people of Israel had contributed. In all there were: 25 tons of silver; 100 silver articles weighing 150 pounds; 7,500 pounds of gold; 20 gold bowls weighing 270 ounces; and 2 polished bronze articles as valuable as gold. 28 I said to the priests: You belong to the Lord , the God of your ancestors, and these things also belong to him. The silver and gold were willingly given as gifts to the Lord . 29 Be sure to guard them and keep them safe until you reach Jerusalem. Then weigh them inside God's temple in the presence of the chief priests, the Levites, and the heads of the Israelite families. 30 The priests and Levites then took charge of the gifts that had been weighed, so they could take them to the temple of our God in Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I said unto them, ye are holy unto the Lord, the vessels are holy also,.... As they were dedicated and set apart to holy service, so the vessels were sacred to holy uses, and therefore not to be converted to any other:
and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers: and therefore not to be made use of but in his service.
