1 Maccabees 10:40–43

⁴⁰And I give every year fifteen thousand sickles of silver out of the king’s accounts, of what belongs to me:

⁴¹And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.

⁴²Moreover, the five thousand sickles of silver, which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.

⁴³And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.
