2 Kings 12:8-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ So the priests agreed they would not take money from the people and they would not repair the temple’s damage.

⁹ Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest,^(A) bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the Lord’s temple; in it the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money brought into the Lord’s temple.^{(B) 10} Whenever they saw there was a large amount of money in the chest, the king’s secretary^(C) and the high priest would go to the Lord’s temple and count the money found there and tie it up in bags.^(D)
