011:021 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
012:001 In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign;
and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's
name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
012:002 Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all
his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
012:003 However the high places were not taken away; the people still
sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
012:004 Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the holy things
that is brought into the house of Yahweh, in current money,
the money of the persons for whom each man is rated,
and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring
into the house of Yahweh,
012:005 let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance;
and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any
breach shall be found.
012:006 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king
Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
012:007 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for
the [other] priests, and said to them, Why don't you repair
the breaches of the house? now therefore take no [more] money
from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches
of the house.
012:008 The priests consented that they should take no [more] money
from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
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 comes into the house of Yahweh:
and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money
that was brought into the house of Yahweh.
012:010 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 counted the money that was found
in the house of Yahweh.
012:011 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those
who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh:
and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders,
who worked on the house of Yahweh,
012:012 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber
and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yahweh,
and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
012:013 But there were not made for the house of Yahweh cups
of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold,
or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into
the house of Yahweh;
012:014 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired
therewith the house of Yahweh.
012:015 Moreover they didn't demand an accounting from the men into whose
