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.

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.  ‡
