2 Kings 12:7 in Context — 2 Kings 12
5 Recebam-no os sacerdotes, cada um de seus familiares, e reparem as fendas do templo de onde quer que se achar abertura.
6 Porém o ano vinte e três do rei Joás, não haviam ainda reparado os sacerdotes as aberturas do templo.
7 Chamando então o rei Joás ao sacerdote Joiada e aos sacerdotes, disse-lhes: Por que não reparais as aberturas do templo? Agora, pois, não tomeis mais o dinheiro de vossos familiares, mas sim dai-o para reparar as fendas do templo.
8 E os sacerdotes consentiram em não tomar mais dinheiro do povo, nem ter cargo de reparar as aberturas do templo.
9 Mas o sacerdote Joiada tomou uma arca, e fez-lhe na tampa um furo, e a pôs junto ao altar, à direita quando se entra no templo do SENHOR; e os sacerdotes que guardavam a porta, punham ali todo o dinheiro que se metia na casa do SENHOR.
