    5 Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.

    6 But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.

    7 Then King Jehoash sent for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why have you not made good what is damaged in the house? now take no more money from your neighbours, but give it for the building up of the house.
