2 Kings 12:7

Back to Verses

Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

Then King Jehoash asked for Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said, "Why aren't you fixing the damaged parts of the temple? So, stop taking money from people you know, and use it to fix the temple instead."
