2 Kings 12:6-16

6But it was soH3947, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388 the breaches of the houseH1004.

7Then kingH4428 JehoashH3060 called for Jehoiada the priestH3548, and for the other priestsH3548, and said unto them, WhyH3808 repairH2388 ye notH3808 the breaches of the houseH1004? nowH1961 therefore takeH2388 noH3808 moreH3808 money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the houseH1004.

8And the priestsH3548 consented that they should takeH3947 noH369 moreH369 moneyH3701 from the peopleH408, neitherH369 repairH2388 the breaches of the houseH1004.

9But Jehoiada the priestH3548 tookH3947 a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh intoH3947 the houseH1004 of the LORD: and the priestsH3548 that kept the door putH3947 therein all the moneyH3701 that was broughtH3947 intoH3947 the houseH1004 of the LORD.

10And it was soH3947, when they saw that there was muchH3605 moneyH3701 in the chestH727, that the king’s scribe and the high priestH3548 cameH935 upH5414, and they putH5414 upH5414 in bags and told the moneyH3701 that was found in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

11And they gaveH1961 the moneyH3701 that was weighed outH7200 intoH1961 the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and they paid it outH7200 to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought uponH1961 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,

12and to the masonsH2796 and the hewers of stone, and for buying timberH6086 and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for allH6485 that was laidH5414 outH3318 for the houseH1004 to repair it.

13But there were not madeH2388 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 cups of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, anyH3605 vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was broughtH3318 intoH5921 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:

14for they gaveH6213 that to them that didH6213 the work, and repaired therewith the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

15Moreover they reckoned notH3588 with the menH6213, intoH5414 whose handH5414 they deliveredH5414 the money to giveH5414 to them that didH6213 the workH4399: for they dealt faithfully.

16The moneyH3701 for the guilt offeringsH3588, and the moneyH3701 for the sin offeringsH3588, was notH3808 broughtH5414 intoH5921 the house of the LORD: it was the priests’.
