2 Kings 12:9-16 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

9. and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side, as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah.

10. And it cometh to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goeth up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of Jehovah,

11. and have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of Jehovah, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of Jehovah,

12. and to those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of Jehovah, and for all that goeth out on the house, to strengthen it.

13. Only, there is not made for the house of Jehovah basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of Jehovah;

14. for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,

15. and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they are dealing.

16. The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah--for the priests it is.
