⁴ Joash said to the priests, “Collect^(A) all the money that is brought as sacred offerings^(B) to the temple of the Lord—the money collected in the census,^(C) the money received from personal vows and the money brought voluntarily^(D) to the temple.

⁵ Let every priest receive the money from one of the treasurers, then use it to repair^(A) whatever damage is found in the temple.”

⁹ Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the Lord. The priests who guarded the entrance^(A) put into the chest all the money^(B) that was brought to the temple of the Lord.

¹⁰ Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary^(A) and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord and put it into bags.
