2 Kings 12:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Temple to Be Repaired

⁴ Then Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the sacred things ^(A)which is brought into the house of the Lord, in current money, both ^(B)the money of each man’s assessment and all the money ^[a]which any man’s heart prompts him to bring into the house of the Lord, ⁵ let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the ^[b]damages of the house wherever any damage may be found.”

⁶ But it came about that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash ^(C)the priests had not repaired the damages of the house.
