6 But by Joash's twenty-third year as king, the priests still had not repaired the temple.

7 So King Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and asked them, "Why aren't you repairing the damage in the temple? Don't take any more money from the donors [for your own use]. Instead, use it to make repairs on the temple."

8 The priests agreed neither to receive money from the people [for personal use] nor to be responsible for repairing the temple.
