2 Kings 12:7 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 12:7

6 Now it was so, by the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, ^athat the priests had not repaired the damages of the temple.

7 ^aSo King Jehoash called Jehoiada the priest and the other priests, and said to them, “Why have you not repaired the damages of the temple? Now therefore, do not take more money from your constituency, but deliver it for repairing the damages of the temple.”

8 And the priests agreed that they would neither receive more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the temple.

9 Then Jehoiada the priest took ^aa chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who¹ kept the door put ^bthere all the money brought into the house of the Lord.

10 So it was, whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s ^ascribe and the high priest came up and² put it in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

11 Then they gave the money, which had been apportioned, into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the Lord; and they¹ paid it out to the carpenters and builders who worked on the house of the Lord,
