2 Kings 12:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Instead, it was paid to the workers. They used it to repair the temple. ¹⁵ The royal secretary and the high priest didn’t require a report from those who were in charge of the work. That’s because they were completely honest. They always paid the workers. ¹⁶ Money was received from people who brought guilt offerings and sin offerings. But it wasn’t taken to the Lord’s temple. It belonged to the priests.
