6. Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs of the temple.

7. And king Joas called Joiada the high priest and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.

8. And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.

9. And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord.
