2 Kings 12:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ King Joash therefore summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and he said to them, “Why have you not repaired the damage in the temple? Take no more money from the treasurers; hand it over for the repair of the temple.”

⁸ The priests agreed that they would take no more money from the people and that they, themselves, would not repair the damage in the temple. ⁹ Jehoiada took a chest and cut a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the temple of the Lord. The priests who guarded the door placed all of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord in it.
