2 Kings 12:5 in Context — 2 Kings 12

3 Con todo eso los altos no se quitaron; que aun sacrificaba y quemaba el pueblo perfumes en los altos.

4 Y Joas dijo á los sacerdotes: Todo el dinero de las santificaciones que se suele traer á la casa de Jehová, el dinero de los que pasan [en cuenta], el dinero por las personas, cada cual según su tasa, y todo el dinero que cada uno de su propia voluntad mete en la casa de Jehová,

5 Recíbanlo los sacerdotes, cada uno de sus familiares, y reparen los portillos del templo donde quiera que se hallare abertura.

6 Pero el año veintitrés del rey Joas, no habían aún reparado los sacerdotes las aberturas del templo.

7 Llamando entonces el rey Joas al pontífice Joiada y á los sacerdotes, díjoles: ¿Por qué no reparáis las aberturas del templo? Ahora pues, no toméis más el dinero de vuestros familiares, sino dadlo para [reparar] las roturas del templo.
