9
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.
10
And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.
11
And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,
12
And to the wall-builders and the stone-cutters, and to get wood and cut stone for building up the broken parts of the house of the Lord, and for everything needed to put the house in good order.
13
But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;
14
But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.
15
And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.
16
The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.
17
Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.
18
Then Jehoash, king of Judah, took all the holy things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah his fathers, the kings of Judah, had given to the Lord, together with the things he himself had given, and all the gold in the Temple store and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael, king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.
19
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
