12 because they had not hearkened unto the voice of the LORD their God, but had broken his covenant and all that Moses, the slave of the LORD, commanded and would not hear them nor do them.

15 So Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the temple of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
