2 Kings 12:13 CPDV

¹¹  And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord

¹²  and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.

¹³  Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.

¹⁴  For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.

¹⁵  And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
