4. And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of יְהוָ֥ה, the money of every one that passeth, the money that every man is set at, all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of יְהוָ֥ה,

5. Let the priests take to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

6. But it was in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

7. Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

8. And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

9. 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 יְהוָ֥ה: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money brought into the house of יְהוָ֥ה.

10. And it was, when they saw that 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 יְהוָ֥ה.

11. And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of יְהוָ֥ה: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of יְהוָ֥ה,

12. And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of יְהוָ֥ה, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair.

13. Howbeit there were not made for the house of יְהוָ֥ה bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money brought into the house of יְהוָ֥ה:

14. But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of יְהוָ֥ה.

15. Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

16. The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of יְהוָ֥ה: it was the priests'.
