At ipinatawag ni Haring Joas si Joiada na saserdote at ang mga saserdote, at sinabi niya sa kanila: “Bakit hindi ninyo kinukumpuni ang mga sira ng Bahay? Kaya ngayon, huwag na kayong tumanggap ng salapi mula sa inyong mga kakilala, kundi ibigay ninyo ito para sa pagkukumpuni ng mga sira ng Bahay.”

And now do not take the money. Anymore, and do not repair the Beis [Hamikdosh] with your money.6Although the Beis Hamikdosh was only 155 years old at the time, it was in need of extensive repair because Atalyoh and her sons made breaches in its wall. See II Divrei Hayomim 24:7.—Radak
Rashi
But for the restoration of the Beis [Hamikdosh]—you should give it over Whether it will be less [than needed], let it be less, and if it will be more [than needed], let it be left over.

“The king called” [12:8]. The king called Jehoiada the priest and said to him: why did they not repair the Temple? Therefore, you should not accept any more silver, but it should be given to the Temple.
