| 3But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | 3Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. |
| 4And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD, | 4Then Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the sacred things which is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, both the money of each man's assessment and all the money which any man's heart prompts him to bring into the house of the LORD, |
| 5Let 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. | 5let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever any damage may be found." |
| 6But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. | 6But it came about that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damages of the house. |
| 7Then 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. | 7Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests and said to them, "Why do you not repair the damages of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintances, but pay it for the damages of the house." |
| 8And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house. | 8So the priests agreed that they would take no more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the house. |
| 9But 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. | 9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored 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 which was brought into the house of the LORD. |

| 13Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD: | 13But there were not made for the house of the LORD silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver from the money which was brought into the house of the LORD; |
| 14But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD. | 14for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD. |
| 15Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. | 15Moreover, they did not require an accounting from the men into whose hand they gave the money to pay to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully. |
| 16The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'. | 16The money from the guilt offerings and the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was for the priests. |
| 17Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. | 17Then Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and captured it, and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. |
