2 Kings 12:8 CPDV

⁶  And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.

⁷  And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: 'Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.'

⁸  And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.

⁹  And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.

¹⁰  And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
