Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eloseh {אֶל־עוֹשֵׂה | ʾel-ʿōśē} introduces the recipient, and the layered construct chain melechet avodat beit-YHWH {מְלֶאכֶת עֲבוֹדַת בֵּית־יְהוָה | məleḵeṯ ʿăbōḏaṯ bêt-yəhōwāh} specifies the sphere of activity as temple service-work.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:12
The king and Jehoiada gave it to those doing the work of the service of the house of the LORD . They hired stonecutters and craftsmen to renew the house of the LORD, and also artisans of iron and bronze to strengthen the house of the LORD.
