2 Kings 12:5-8

5Let everyH376H854 priestH3548 receiveH3947 it from his constituencyH4378, and let it be usedH1992 to repairH2388 any damageH3605H834H919 foundH4672 in the templeH1004H8033.”

6By the twenty-thirdH6242H7969H8141 yearH8141 of the reignH4428 of JoashH3060, howeverH1961, the priestsH3548 had not yetH3808 repairedH2388 the damageH919 to the templeH1004. 7So KingH4428 JoashH3060 calledH7121 JehoiadaH3077 and the other priestsH3548 and saidH559H413, “WhyH4069 have you notH369 repairedH2388 the damageH919 to the templeH1004? Now, thereforeH6258, takeH3947 no moreH408 moneyH3701 fromH854 your constituencyH4378, butH3588 hand it overH5414 for the repairH919 of the templeH1004.”

8So the priestsH3548 agreedH225 that they would notH1115 receiveH3947 moneyH3701 fromH854 the peopleH5971 and that they would notH1115 repairH2388 the temple themselvesH853H919H1004.
