In the seventhh7651 yearh8141 of Jehuh3058,  aJehoashh3060 becameh4427a kingh4427a, and he reignedh4427a fortyh705 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389; and his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was Zibiahh6645 of Beershebah884.

2

Jehoashh3060 didh6213a righth3477 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068 allh3605 his daysh3117 in whichh834 Jehoiadah3077 the priesth3548 instructedh3384 him.

Onlyh7534  athe highh1166 placesh1116 were not takenh5493 awayh5493; the peopleh5971a stillh5750 sacrificedh2076 and burnedh6999 incenseh6999 on the highh1116 placesh1116.

The Temple to Be Repaired

4

Then Jehoashh3060 saidh559 to the priestsh3548, "Allh3605 the moneyh3701 of the sacredh6944 thingsh6944  awhichh834 is broughth935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, in currenth5674a moneyh3701, both  bthe moneyh3701 of eachh376 man'sh376 assessmenth6187 and allh3605 the moneyh3701  1whichh834 anyh376 man'sh376 hearth3820 promptsh5927h5921 him to bringh935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068,

5

let the priestsh3548 takeh3947 it for themselves, eachh376 from his acquaintanceh4378; and they shall repairh2388 the  1damagesh919 of the househ1004 whereverh3605h834h8033 any damageh919 may be foundh4672."

6

But it cameh1961 about that in the twenty-thirdh6242h7969 yearh8141 of Kingh4428 Jehoashh3060  athe priestsh3548 had not repairedh2388 the damagesh919 of the househ1004.

7

Then Kingh4428 Jehoashh3060 calledh7121 for Jehoiadah3077 the priesth3548, and for the other priestsh3548 and saidh559 to them, "Whyh4069 do you not repairh2388 the damagesh919 of the househ1004? Nowh6258 therefore takeh3947 noh408 more moneyh3701 from your acquaintancesh4378, but payh5414 it for the damagesh919 of the househ1004."

8

So the priestsh3548 agreedh225 that they would takeh3947 noh1115 more moneyh3701 from the peopleh5971a, norh1115 repairh2388 the damagesh919 of the househ1004.

But  aJehoiadah3077 the priesth3548 tookh3947 a chesth727 and boredh5344a a holeh2356 in its lidh1817 and puth5414 it besideh681a the altarh4196, on the righth3225 sideh3225 as oneh376 comesh935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068; and the priestsh3548 who guardedh8104 the thresholdh5592b puth5414 in it allh3605 the moneyh3701 which was broughth935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

10

When they sawh7200 that there was muchh7227a moneyh3701 in the chesth727,  athe king'sh4428 scribeh5613b and the highh1419 priesth3548 cameh5927 up and tiedh6696a it in bags and countedh4487 the moneyh3701 which was foundh4672 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

11

They gaveh5414 the moneyh3701 which was weighedh8505 out into the handsh3027 of those who didh6213a the workh4399, who had the oversighth6485 of the househ1004 of the LORDh3068; and they  1paidh3318 it out to the carpentersh2796h6086 and the buildersh1129 who workedh6213a on the househ1004 of the LORDh3068;

12

and  ato the masonsh1443 and the stonecuttersh2672h68, and for buyingh7069 timberh6086 and hewnh4274 stoneh68 to repairh2388 the damagesh919 to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and for allh3605 that was  1laidh3318 out for the househ1004 to repairh2388 it.

13

But  athere were not madeh6213a for the househ1004 of the LORDh3068  bsilverh3701 cupsh5592a, snuffersh4212, bowlsh4219, trumpetsh2689, anyh3605 vesselsh3627 of goldh2091, or vesselsh3627 of silverh3701 from the moneyh3701 which was broughth935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068;

14

for they gaveh5414 that to those who didh6213a the workh4399, and with it they repairedh2388 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

15

Moreover,  athey did not requireh2803 an accountingh2803 from the menh376 into whoseh834 handh3027 they gaveh5414 the moneyh3701 to payh5414 to those who didh6213a the workh4399, for they dealth6213a faithfullyh530.

16

The  amoneyh3701 from the guilth817 offeringsh817 and  bthe moneyh3701 from the sinh2403b offeringsh2403b was not broughth935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068;  cit was for the priestsh3548.
