Jehoash said to the priests, 'All the money from the sacred revenues brought to the Temple of Yahweh, the money from personal taxes, and all the money voluntarily offered to the Temple- (2 Kings 12, 5)
the priests are to receive this individually from people of their acquaintance and will carry out all the repairs to the Temple which need to be made.' (2 Kings 12, 6)
Now in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had done no repairs to the Temple; (2 Kings 12, 7)
so King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests. 'Why are you not repairing the Temple?' he asked. 'You are no longer to accept money from people of your acquaintance but are to hand it over for the Temple repairs.' (2 Kings 12, 8)
The priests agreed to accept no money from the people and no longer to be responsible for repairs to the Temple. (2 Kings 12, 9)
Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in the lid and placed it beside the pillar, to the right of the entry to the Temple of Yahweh; in it the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money which was given for the Temple of Yahweh. (2 Kings 12, 10)
Whenever they saw that there was a great deal of money in the chest, the king's secretary would come, and they would empty it out and reckon the money then in the Temple of Yahweh. (2 Kings 12, 11)
Once checked, they paid this money over to the masters of works attached to the Temple of Yahweh, and these in turn spent it on carpenters and builders working on the Temple of Yahweh, (2 Kings 12, 12)
on masons and stonecutters, and on buying timber and dressed stone to be used for repairs to the Temple of Yahweh; in short, for all the costs of the Temple repairs. (2 Kings 12, 13)
But no silver basins, knives, sprinkling bowls, trumpets or gold or silver objects were made for the Temple of Yahweh out of the money presented, (2 Kings 12, 14)
which was all given to the masters of works for repairing the Temple of Yahweh. (2 Kings 12, 15)
Money offered in expiation of an offence or of a sin was not given to the Temple of Yahweh; that was for the priests. (2 Kings 12, 17)
