The Modern Text Bible is a clear and beautiful re-expression of Scripture in today's language.

Make a Donation

What does 2 Kings 12:8 mean?

So King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, 'Why haven't you fixed the temple yet? From now on, don't take any more money from the people unless you use it for repairs.' 2 Kings 12:8 - Modern Text Bible

(Joash confronts the priests about the lack of progress and insists that all future donations go directly to the temple repairs.)
