Quick answer
Surplus funds were used to make temple vessels for worship, and offerings were made continually while Jehoiada lived. Renewed worship followed the renewed temple.
Overview
The repair completed, leftover money provided gold and silver vessels for ongoing service and sacrifice. Continual burnt offerings expressed Judah's restored devotion. Notably, this faithful worship is tied to Jehoiada's lifetime, hinting at the fragility of a reform dependent on one godly influence.
