'Damage' in the Bible

each priest is to take from his assessor and repair whatever damage to the temple is found.”

But by the twenty-third year of the reign of King Joash, the priests had not repaired the damage to the temple.

So King Joash called Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said, “Why haven’t you repaired the temple’s damage? Since you haven’t, don’t take any money from your assessors; instead, hand it over for the repair of the temple.”

So the priests agreed they would not take money from the people and they would not repair the temple’s damage.

the masons, and the stonecutters—and would use it to buy timber and quarried stone to repair the damage to the Lord’s temple and for all spending for temple repairs.

It is to be put into the hands of those doing the work—those who oversee the Lord’s temple. They in turn are to give it to the workmen in the Lord’s temple to repair the damage.
