So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
Rashi on II Chronicles
and they made one chest and in II Kings (12:10), it is written: “and he bored a hole in its door,” and through that hole they would cast the hallowed things, but they did not open the door lest a thief come and steal from it.
