2 Kings 12:7 in Context — 2 Kings 12
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.
8 Y los sacerdotes consintieron en no tomar [más] dinero del pueblo, ni tener cargo de reparar las aberturas del templo.
9 Mas el pontífice Joiada tomó un arca, é hízole en la tapa un agujero, y púsola junto al altar, á la mano derecha como se entra en el templo de Jehová; y los sacerdotes que guardaban la puerta, ponían allí todo el dinero que se metía en la casa de Jehová.
