with the captains, the Carians, the guards, and all the people of the land, led the king down from the temple of the LORD through the guards' gate to the palace, where Joash took his seat on the royal throne. (2 Kings 11, 19)
For the priests Joash made this rule: "All the funds for sacred purposes that are brought to the temple of the LORD--the census tax, personal redemption money, and whatever funds are freely brought to the temple of the LORD-- (2 Kings 12, 5)
the priests may take for themselves, each from his own clients. However, they must make whatever repairs on the temple may prove necessary." (2 Kings 12, 6)
Nevertheless, as late as the twenty-third year of the reign of King Joash, the priests had not made needed repairs on the temple. (2 Kings 12, 7)
Accordingly, King Joash summoned the priest Jehoiada and the other priests. "Why do you not repair the temple?" he asked them. "You must no longer take funds from your clients, but you shall turn them over for the repairs." (2 Kings 12, 8)
So the priests agreed that they would neither take funds from the people nor make the repairs on the temple. (2 Kings 12, 9)
The priest Jehoiada then took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the stele, on the right as one entered the temple of the LORD. The priests who guarded the entry would put into it all the funds that were brought to the temple of the LORD. (2 Kings 12, 10)
When they noticed that there was a large amount of silver in the chest, the royal scribe (and the priest) would come up, and they would melt down all the funds that were in the temple of the LORD, and weigh them. (2 Kings 12, 11)
The amount thus realized they turned over to the master workmen in the temple of the LORD. They in turn would give it to the carpenters and builders working in the temple of the LORD, (2 Kings 12, 12)
and to the lumbermen and stone cutters, and for the purchase of the wood and hewn stone used in repairing the breaches, and for any other expenses that were necessary to repair the temple. (2 Kings 12, 13)
None of the funds brought to the temple of the LORD were used there to make silver cups, snuffers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver article. (2 Kings 12, 14)
Instead, they were given to the workmen, and with them they repaired the temple of the LORD. (2 Kings 12, 15)
