2 Kings 12:2-5

Living Bible

² All his life Joash did what was right because Jehoiada the High Priest instructed him. ³ Yet even so he didn’t destroy the shrines on the hills—the people still sacrificed and burned incense there.

^4-5 One day King Joash said to Jehoiada, “The Temple building needs repairing. Whenever anyone brings a contribution to the Lord, whether it is a regular assessment or some special gift, use it to pay for whatever repairs are needed.”
