12:011:021 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

12:012:001 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty
           years reigned he in Jerusalem.  And his mother’s name was
           Zibiah of Beersheba.

12:012:002 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the lord
           all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

12:012:003 But the high places were not taken away:  the people still
           sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

12:012:004 And 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,

12:012:005 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.

12:012:006 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king
           Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the
           house.

12:012:007 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.

12:012:008 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the
           people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

12:012:009 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.

12:012:010 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.

12:012:011 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,

12:012:012 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and
           hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the lord,
           and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
