2 Kings 12:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, along with other^[a] priests, and asked them, “Why haven’t you fixed the leaks in the Temple? Stop receiving donations from your acquaintances for repairing the leaks in the Temple.”

⁸ So the priests agreed to receive no more cash from the people, but they didn’t repair the leaks in the Temple, either. ⁹ So Jehoiada the priest grabbed a chest, bored an opening in its lid, and placed it next to the altar, on the right side as one enters the Lord’s Temple. The priests who tended the entryway put all the money that was brought into the Lord’s Temple into the chest.^[b]
