2 Kings 12:5-14

5Let the priestsH3548 takeH3947 it to them, every manH376 of his acquaintanceH4378: and let them repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004, wheresoever any breachH919 shall be foundH4672.

6But it was so, that in the threeH8141H7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JehoashH3060 the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004.1

7Then kingH4428 JehoashH3060 calledH7121 for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and the other priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Why repairH2388 ye not the breachesH919 of the houseH1004? now therefore receiveH3947 no more moneyH3701 of your acquaintanceH4378, but deliverH5414 it for the breachesH919 of the houseH1004.

8And the priestsH3548 consentedH225 to receiveH3947 noH1115 more moneyH3701 of the peopleH5971, neitherH1115 to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004.

9But JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 tookH3947 aH259 chestH727, and boredH5344 a holeH2356 in the lidH1817 of it, and setH5414 it besideH681 the altarH4196, on the right sideH3225 as oneH376 comethH935 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068: and the priestsH3548 that keptH8104 the doorH5592 putH5414 therein all the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.2

10And it was so, when they sawH7200 that there was muchH7227 moneyH3701 in the chestH727, that the king’sH4428 scribeH5608 and the highH1419 priestH3548 came upH5927, and they put up in bagsH6696, and toldH4487 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.34

11And they gaveH5414 the moneyH3701, being toldH8505, into the handsH3027 of them that didH6213 the workH4399, that had the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068: and they laid it outH3318 to the carpentersH6086H2796 and buildersH1129, that wroughtH6213 upon the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068,5

12And to masonsH1443, and hewersH2672 of stoneH68, and to buyH7069 timberH6086 and hewedH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and for all that was laid outH3318 for the houseH1004 to repairH2394 it.6

13Howbeit there were not madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 bowlsH5592 of silverH3701, snuffersH4212, basonsH4219, trumpetsH2689, any vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, or vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, of the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068:

14But they gaveH5414 that to the workmenH6213H4399, and repairedH2388 therewith the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.
