2 Kings 12:6-8
International Standard Version
6 But 23 years into the reign of King Jehoash, the priests still had not repaired the leaks in the Temple. 7 So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, along with other[a] priests, and asked them, “Why haven’t you fixed the leaks in the Temple? Stop receiving donations from your acquaintances for repairing the leaks in the Temple.”
8 So the priests agreed to receive no more cash from the people, but they didn’t repair the leaks in the Temple, either.

New International Version
6 But by the twenty-third year of King Joash the priests still had not repaired the temple. 7 Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple.” 8 The priests agreed that they would not collect any more money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
