2 Kings 12:7-16
7Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests and said to them, “Why do you not repair the damages of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintances, but pay it for the damages of the house.” 8So the priests agreed that they would take no more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the house.
9But 1Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid and put it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who guarded the threshold put in it all the money which was brought into the house of the Lord. 10When they saw that there was much money in the chest, 2the king’s scribe and the high priest came up and tied it in bags and counted the money which was found in the house of the Lord. 11They gave the money which was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the Lord; and they 3paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the house of the Lord; 12and 4to the masons and the stonecutters, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the damages to the house of the Lord, and for all that was 5laid out for the house to repair it. 13But 6there were not made for the house of the Lord 7silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver from the money which was brought into the house of the Lord; 14for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it they repaired the house of the Lord. 15Moreover, 8they did not require an accounting from the men into whose hand they gave the money to pay to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully. 16The 9money from the guilt offerings and 10the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord; 11it was for the priests.
