    2 Jehoash did what the LORD considered to be right during the entire time when Jehoiada the priest was instructing him,ISV — 2Kings 12:2

    3 except that the high places were not demolished, so the people continued to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places.ISV — 2Kings 12:3

    4 Jehoash spoke to the priests about all of the proceeds c12:4 Lit. silver; i.e., money from conversion of gifts into cash of the consecrated gifts that were being brought into the LORD’s Temple, cash from every man who was traveling through the area, d12:4 The Heb. lacks the area cash obtained by personal assessment, e12:4 Lit. cash from souls to their appointment and all the cash that came through voluntary gifts f12:4 Lit. through the heart of a man into the LORD’s Temple:ISV — 2Kings 12:4

    7 So king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, along with other g12:7 Lit. the priests, and asked them, “Why haven’t you fixed the leaks in the Temple? Stop receiving donations from your acquaintances for repairing the leaks in the Temple.”ISV — 2Kings 12:7

    9 So Jehoiada the priest grabbed a chest, bored an opening in its lid, and placed it next to the altar, on the right side as one enters the LORD’s Temple. The priests who tended the entryway put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s Temple into the chest. h12:9 Lit. into itISV — 2Kings 12:9

    10 As a result, whenever they noticed that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the high priest went forward, put the money in bags, counted the money that had been given over to the LORD’s Temple,ISV — 2Kings 12:10

    11 and disbursed the cash directly into the hands of those who did the work and who were in charge of the oversight of the LORD’s Temple. They paid it to the carpenters and builders who worked on the LORD’s Temple,ISV — 2Kings 12:11

    12 to masons and stonecutters, and for procurement of timber and quarried stone for making repairs to the LORD’s Temple, and for all outlays needed for repairs of the Temple.ISV — 2Kings 12:12

    13 But no provision was included for the LORD’s Temple from the money that was brought into the LORD’s Temple for silver basins, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, or any vessels made of gold or silver,ISV — 2Kings 12:13

    14 because that money had been allocated to the workmen who were repairing the LORD’s Temple.ISV — 2Kings 12:14

    15 Furthermore, they required no accounting from the men into whose hand they had paid the money to do the work, because the workers acted in good faith.ISV — 2Kings 12:15

    16 The money from the guilt offerings and i12:16 Lit. and the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s Temple, because it was allocated to the priests.ISV — 2Kings 12:16

Then Hazael j12:18 Lit. he left Jerusalem. ( )ISV — 2Kings 12:18
