2 Kings 12:5-8

5Let the priests take some of that money to pay for whatever repairs are needed at the Temple.”

6But by the twenty-third year of Joash’s reign, the priests still had not repaired the Temple.

7So King Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and asked them, “Why haven’t you repaired the Temple? Don’t use any more money for your own needs. From now on, it must all be spent on Temple repairs.”

8So the priests agreed not to accept any more money from the people, and they also agreed to let others take responsibility for repairing the Temple.
