Listen to 2 Rois 12:5
5 que les sacrificateurs le prennent chacun de la part des gens de sa connaissance, et qu'ils l'emploient à réparer la maison partout où il se trouvera quelque chose à réparer.

2 Rois 12:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 12:5

Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance,
&c.] Of those that were most known by them; for the priests had cities assigned them in several parts of the land, and they that dwelt with them in them, or in the parts adjacent to them, were best known by them; and they were sent into all the cities, some to one and some to another, where they were most acquainted, to collect money, both what was due by law, and what the people should freely give, see ( 2 Chronicles 24:5 )

and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach
shall be found:
that is, of the temple, which, according to the Jewish chronology F9, had been built but one hundred and fifty five years; and being built very strong, would have needed no considerable repairs as yet, but that it had been broken up and misused by Athaliah and her sons, ( 2 Chronicles 24:7 ) .

2 Rois 12:5 In-Context

3 Seulement, les hauts lieux ne disparurent point; le peuple offrait encore des sacrifices et des parfums sur les hauts lieux.
4 Joas dit aux sacrificateurs: Tout l'argent consacré qu'on apporte dans la maison de l'Eternel, l'argent ayant cours, savoir l'argent pour le rachat des personnes d'après l'estimation qui en est faite, et tout l'argent qu'il vient au coeur de quelqu'un d'apporter à la maison de l'Eternel,
5 que les sacrificateurs le prennent chacun de la part des gens de sa connaissance, et qu'ils l'emploient à réparer la maison partout où il se trouvera quelque chose à réparer.
6 Mais il arriva que, la vingt-troisième année du roi Joas, les sacrificateurs n'avaient point réparé ce qui était à réparer à la maison.
7 Le roi Joas appela le sacrificateur Jehojada et les autres sacrificateurs, et leur dit: Pourquoi n'avez-vous pas réparé ce qui est à réparer à la maison? Maintenant, vous ne prendrez plus l'argent de vos connaissances, mais vous le livrerez pour les réparations de la maison.
