2 Kings 12:5-8

5the priestsH3548 are to takeH3947 it for themselves, eachH376 from his 1acquaintanceH4378; and they shall repairH2388 2damageH919 to the houseH1004 whereverH3605H834H8033 3any damageH919 is foundH4672.”

6But it cameH1961 aboutH1961 that in the twenty-thirdH6242H7969 yearH8141 of KingH4428 JehoashH3060, 4the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388 any damageH919 to the houseH1004. 7So KingH4428 JehoashH3060 summonedH7121 JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and the other priestsH3548, and saidH559 to them, “WhyH4069 do you not repairH2388 damageH919 to the houseH1004? NowH6258 then, you are not to takeH3947 any more moneyH3701 from your 5acquaintancesH4378, but giveH5414 it upH5414 for the damageH919 to the houseH1004.” 8The priestsH3548 then agreedH225 that they would not takeH3947 any more moneyH3701 from the peopleH5971, norH1115 would they 6repairH2388 damageH919 to the houseH1004.
