Contextual Overview

4Then Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the sacred things which is brought into the house of Yahweh, both the money for each numbered man—the money from each person's assessment in the census—and all the money which any man's heart prompts him to bring into the house of Yahweh, 5let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever any damage may be found." 6Now it happened that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damages of the house. 7Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests and said to them, "Why do you not repair the damages of the house? So now, take no more money from your acquaintances, but give it over to pay for the damages of the house." 8So the priests agreed that they would take no more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the house. 9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid and put it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh; and the priests who kept watch over the threshold put in it all the money which was brought into the house of Yahweh. 10Now it happened that when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came up and tied it in bags and counted the money which was found in the house of Yahweh. 11And they gave the money, which was weighed out, into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and they paid it out to the craftsmen of wood and the builders who worked on the house of Yahweh; 12and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the damages to the house of Yahweh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. 13But there were not made for the house of Yahweh silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver from the money which was brought into the house of Yahweh;
