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,
12 and to masons and stonecutters, and for buying timber and hewn stone, to arepair the damage of the house of the Lord, and for all that was paid out to repair the temple.
13 However athere were not made for the house of the Lord basins of silver, trimmers, sprinkling-bowls, trumpets, any articles of gold or articles of silver, from the money brought into the house of the Lord.
14 But they gave that to the workmen, and they repaired the house of the Lord with it.
15 Moreover athey did not require an account from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to be paid to workmen, for they dealt faithfully.
16 aThe money from the trespass offerings and the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord. bIt belonged to the priests.
