2 Kings 12:5-8

5Each of the priests should receive it from the donors and use it to make repairs on the temple where they are needed.”

6But by Joash’s twenty-third year as king, the priests still had not repaired the temple.

7So King Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and asked them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage in the temple? Don’t take any more money from the donors ⌞for your own use⌟. Instead, use it to make repairs on the temple.”

8The priests agreed neither to receive money from the people ⌞for personal use⌟ nor to be responsible for repairing the temple.
