2 Kings 12:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ But the illegal places of worship weren’t torn down. The people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at these worship sites.

⁴ Joash told the priests, “⌞Collect⌟ all the holy contributions that are brought into the Lord’s temple—the money each person is currently required to bring and all the money brought voluntarily to the Lord’s temple. ⁵ Each of the priests should receive it from the donors and use it to make repairs on the temple where they are needed.”
