2 Kings 12:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ The money the people brought to the Lord’s temple wasn’t used to make silver bowls. It wasn’t used for wick cutters, sprinkling bowls or trumpets. And it wasn’t used for any other things made out of gold or silver. ¹⁴ Instead, it was paid to the workers. They used it to repair the temple. ¹⁵ The royal secretary and the high priest didn’t require a report from those who were in charge of the work. That’s because they were completely honest. They always paid the workers.
