2 Kings 12:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ And Joash said to the priests, All the current money brought into the house of the Lord to provide the dedicated things, also the money [which the priests by command have] assessed on all those bound by vows, also all the money that it comes into any man’s heart voluntarily to bring into the house of the Lord,

⁵ Let the priests solicit and receive such contributions, every man from his acquaintance, and let them repair the Lord’s house wherever any such need may be found.

⁶ But in the twenty-third year of King Joash’s reign the priests had not made the needed repairs on the Lord’s house.
