Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:012:007 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the
other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the
breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of
your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the
house.
12:012:008 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the
people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
12:012:009 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the
lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as
one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that
kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into
the house of the LORD.
12:012:010 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the
chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and
they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the
house of the LORD.
12:012:011 And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them
that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the
LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders,
that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
12:012:012 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and
hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD,
and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
12:012:013 Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of
silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or
vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the
house of the LORD:
12:012:014 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the
house of the LORD.
12:012:015 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they
delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt
faithfully.
12:012:016 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the
house of the LORD: it was the priests'.
12:012:017 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath,
and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
12:012:018 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that
Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of
Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the
gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD,
and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria:
and he went away from Jerusalem.
12:012:019 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?
12:012:020 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash
in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
