2 Kings 12:2

Jehoash Repairs the Temple

1 In the seventh year of Jehu, ^aJehoash became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

2 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days in which ^aJehoiada the priest instructed him.

3 But ^athe high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

4 And Jehoash said to the priests, ^a“All the money of the dedicated gifts that are brought into the house of the Lord—each man’s ^bcensus money, each man’s ^cassessment money—and all the money that² a man ^dpurposes in his heart to bring into the house of the Lord,

5 let the priests take it themselves, each from his constituency; and let them repair the¹ damages of the temple, wherever any dilapidation is found.”
