2 Kings 22:5

Funding the Temple Repairs

4“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.5And let them deliver it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn are to give it to the workmen repairing the damages to the house of the LORD—6to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
