    5 The priests should receive the silver they need from the treasurers and repair any damage to the temple they discover.”

    6 By the twenty-third year of King Jehoash’s reign the priests had still not repaired the damage to the temple.

    7 So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest along with the other priests, and said to them,“Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, take no more silver from your treasurers unless you intend to use it to repair the damage.”

    8 The priests agreed not to collect silver from the people and relieved themselves of personal responsibility for the temple repairs.

    9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and drilled a hole in its lid. He placed it on the right side of the altar near the entrance of the LORD’s temple. The priests who guarded the entrance would put into it all the silver brought to the LORD’s temple.

    10 When they saw the chest was full of silver, the royal secretary and the high priest counted the silver that had been brought to the LORD’s temple and bagged it up.

    11 They would then hand over the silver that had been weighed to the construction foremen assigned to the LORD’s temple. They hired carpenters and builders to work on the LORD’s temple,

    12 as well as masons and stonecutters. They bought wood and chiseled stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s temple and also paid for all the other expenses.

    4 Later, Joash was determined to repair the LORD’s temple.

    5 He assembled the priests and Levites and ordered them,“Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the annual quota of silver from all Israel for repairs on the temple of your God. Be quick about it!” But the Levites delayed.

    6 So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him,“Why have you not made the Levites collect from Judah and Jerusalem the tax authorized by Moses the LORD’s servant and by the assembly of Israel at the tent containing the tablets of the law?”

They went through this routine every day and collected a large amount of silver.

    12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to the construction foremen assigned to the LORD’s temple. They hired carpenters and craftsmen to repair the LORD’s temple, as well as those skilled in working with iron and bronze to restore the LORD’s temple.
