2 Kings 12:15

Joash Repairs the Temple

14Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.15No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.16The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
