## 2 Kings 12:8 in Context (Verses 5–11 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/5) Let the priests take *it* to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/6) But it was *so, that* in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/7) Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the *other* priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no *more* money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/8) And the priests consented to receive no *more* money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/9) 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.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/10) 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.**
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-kings/12/11) And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,*
