2 Kings 12:15

Integrity Faithfulness and loyalty Money and wealth Work

¹³ Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:

¹⁴ But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.

Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁶ The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests’.

¹⁷ Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
