2 Kings 12:4-6

Good News Translation

^4 (A)Joash called the priests and ordered them to save up the money paid in connection with the sacrifices in the Temple, both the dues paid for the regular sacrifices and the money given as freewill gifts. ⁵ Each priest was to be responsible for the money brought by those he served, and the money was to be used to repair the Temple, as needed.

⁶ But by the twenty-third year of Joash's reign the priests still had not made any repairs in the Temple.
