5 The priests should receive the silver they need from the treasurers and repair any damage to the temple they discover.|

6 By the twenty-third year of King Jehoash's reign the priests had still not repaired the damage to the temple.

7 So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest along with the other priests, and said to them, |Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, take no more silver from your treasurers unless you intend to use it to repair the damage.|
