2 Kings 12:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ and use it to repair the temple whenever you see the need.”

⁶ But the priests never started repairing the temple. So in the twenty-third year of his rule, ⁷ Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why aren't you using the money to repair the temple? Don't take any more money for yourselves. It is only to be used to pay for the repairs.”
