2 Kings 12:10-15

10Whenever they saw there was a large amount of silver in the chest, the king’s secretary and the high priest would go bag up and tally the silver found in the Lord’s temple.

11Then they would give the weighed silver to those doing the work — those who oversaw the Lord’s temple. They in turn would pay it out to those working on the Lord’s temple — the carpenters, the builders,

12the masons, and the stonecutters — and would use it to buy timber and quarried stone to repair the damage to the Lord’s temple and for all expenses for temple repairs.

13However, no silver bowls, wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver were made for the Lord’s temple from the contributions brought to the Lord’s temple.

14Instead, it was given to those doing the work, and they repaired the Lord’s temple with it.

15No accounting was required from the men who received the silver to pay those doing the work, since they worked with integrity.
