⁴ And Jehoash said to the priests, ^(A)“All the money of the dedicated gifts that are brought into the house of the Lord—each man’s ^(B)census^[a] money, each man’s ^(C)assessment money—and all the money that ^[b]a man ^(D)purposes in his heart to bring into the house of the Lord,

⁵ let the priests take it themselves, each from his constituency; and let them repair the ^[a]damages of the temple, wherever any dilapidation is found.”

⁹ Then Jehoiada the priest took ^(A)a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who ^[a]kept the door put ^(B)there all the money brought into the house of the Lord.

¹⁰ So it was, whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s ^(A)scribe^[a] and the high priest came up and ^[b]put it in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
