2 Kings 12:6-9
6But it cameH1961 aboutH1961 that in the twenty-thirdH6242H7969 yearH8141 of KingH4428 JehoashH3060, 1the 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 2acquaintancesH4378, 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 3repairH2388 damageH919 to the houseH1004.
9Instead, 4JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 5tookH3947 a chestH727 and drilledH5344 a holeH2356 in its lidH1817 and putH5414 it besideH681 the altarH4196, on the rightH3225 sideH3225 as oneH376 comesH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068; and the priestsH3548 who guardedH8104 the thresholdH5592 putH5414 in it allH3605 the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.
