← 2 Kings 12:8	2 Kings 12:9 (KJV)	2 Kings 12:10 →
And the priests consented to receive no [more] money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.	But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money [that was] brought into the house of the LORD.	And it was [so], when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
