2 Kings 12:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Let the Priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and they shall repair the [a]broken places of the house, wheresoever any decay is found.
6 ¶ Yet in the three and twentieth year of King Jehoash the Priests had not mended that which was decayed in the Temple.
7 Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the Priest, and the other Priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the ruins of the Temple? now therefore [b]receive no more money of your acquaintance, except ye deliver it to repair the ruins of the Temple.
