2 Kings 12:5-17

5let the priestsH3548 take it, every manH376 of his acquaintance; and let them repair the breaches of the houseH1004, wherever any breach is found.

6And it was [so that] in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388 the breaches of the houseH1004.

7Then kingH4428 JehoashH3060 called for Jehoiada the priestH3548, and the priestsH3548, and said to them, Why have ye not repairedH2388 the breaches of the houseH1004? And now receive no money of your acquaintances, but give it for the breaches of the houseH1004.

8And the priestsH3548 consented to receiveH3947 no moneyH3701 of the people, and that they should only repairH2388 the breaches of the houseH1004.

9And Jehoiada the priestH3548 tookH3947 a chest, and bored a hole in the lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and the priestsH3548 that kept the door put into it all the moneyH3701 brought into the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

10And it cameH935 to pass when they saw that there was much moneyH3701 in the chestH727, that the king's scribe and the high priestH3548 cameH935 up, and they tied up and counted the moneyH3701 that was found in the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

11And they gave the moneyH3701, weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, who wereH1961 appointedH4487 over the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the houseH1004 of Jehovah,

12and to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and for all that had to be laid out on the houseH1004 for repairs.

13However there were not madeH2388 for the houseH1004 of Jehovah basons of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor any utensil of gold or utensil of silver, of the money that was broughtH3318 [into] the houseH1004 of Jehovah;

14but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the houseH1004 of Jehovah with it.

15And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gaveH5414 the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they dealt faithfully.

16The moneyH3701 of trespass-offerings, and the moneyH3701 of sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was for the priests.

17Then Hazael king of Syria wentH935 up, and fought against Gath, and took it. And Hazael set his face to goH935 up against Jerusalem.
