2 Kings 12:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Each priest will take the money from ·the people he serves [donors; or acquaintances; or the treasurers]. Then the priests must ·repair [restore] any damage they find in the ·Temple [^Lhouse].”

⁶ But by the twenty-third year Joash was king, the priests still had not ·repaired [restored] the ·Temple [^Lhouse]. ⁷ So King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said to them, “Why aren’t you ·repairing the damage of [restoring] the ·Temple [^Lhouse]? Don’t take any more money from ·the people you serve [donors; or acquaintances; or the treasurers], but hand over the money for the ·repair [restoration] of the ·Temple [^Lhouse].”
