Jehoash Repairs the House of Yahweh

⁴ Then Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the sacred things ^(A)which is brought into the house of Yahweh, both ^(B)the money for each ^[a]numbered man—the money from each person’s assessment in the census—and all the money which any man’s heart prompts him to bring into the house of Yahweh, ⁵ let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the ^[b]damages of the house wherever any damage may be found.”

⁶ Now it happened that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash ^(C)the priests had not repaired the damages of the house.
