2 Kings 12:7-9
Living Bible
7 So Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and asked them, “Why haven’t you done anything about the Temple? Now don’t use any more money for your own needs; from now on it must all be spent on getting the Temple into good condition.”
8 So the priests agreed to set up a special repair fund that would not go through their hands, lest it be diverted to care for their personal needs. 9 Jehoiada the priest bored a hole in the lid of a large chest and set it on the right-hand side of the altar at the Temple entrance. The doorkeepers put all of the people’s contributions into it.
