2 Kings 12:5-8
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.
