2 Kings 12:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Jehoash said to the priests, “Collect all the currently available money relating to holy things that is brought to the temple—some is money people pay to redeem persons according to their assessed value. Collect all the money brought to the Lord’s temple that people offer voluntarily.^{[a] 5} The priests should take the money from their donors and use it to repair the temple wherever such a need for repair is discovered.”

⁶ But by the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests still hadn’t repaired the temple.
