2 Kings 12:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

⁵⁽⁴⁾Y’ho’ash said to the cohanim, “All the funds for sacred purposes which are brought to the house of Adonai — the half-shekel tax, the taxes on persons in a man’s household, and all the offerings anyone voluntarily brings to the house of Adonai — ⁶⁽⁵⁾the cohanim are to receive from whoever personally makes contributions to them; and they are to use these funds to repair the damaged parts of the house, wherever damage is found. ⁷⁽⁶⁾But twenty-three years into the reign of King Y’ho’ash, the cohanim had still not repaired the damaged places in the house.
