2 Kings 12:4 In-Context

2 Jehoash did right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
4 Then Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the sacred things which is brought into the house of the LORD , in current money, both the money of each man's assessment and all the money which any man's heart prompts him to bring into the house of the LORD ,
5 let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever any damage may be found."
6 But it came about that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damages of the house.
