2 Kings 12:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 The priests then agreed that they would not take any more money from the people, nor would they [a]repair damage to the house.
9 Instead, (A)Jehoiada the priest [b]took a chest and drilled a hole in its lid and put it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who guarded the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord. 10 When they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, (B)the king’s scribe and the high priest went up and tied it up in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

8 The priests agreed that they would not collect any more money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the Lord. The priests who guarded the entrance(A) put into the chest all the money(B) that was brought to the temple of the Lord. 10 Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary(C) and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord and put it into bags.
