King James Version
In the seventh year of Jehu ,
Joash
became
king,
and he
reigned in Jerusalem forty
years
. His mother’s
name was Zibiah ;
she
was
from
Beersheba.
In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash
began
to
reign;
and forty
years
reigned he
in Jerusalem. And
his mother's
name was Zibiah of
Beersheba.
And Joash
did what
was right in the eyes
of the LORD all the
days he
was
instructed
by
Jehoiada the priest.
And Jehoash
did that
which
was right in the sight
of the LORD all his
days wherein
Jehoiada the priest instructed
him
.
Nevertheless,
the high places were not removed;
the people continued
sacrificing
and burning
incense there
.
But
the high places were not taken
away:
the people still
sacrificed
and burnt
incense in
the
high
places
.
Then
Joash
said to the priests, “Collect
all the money brought as
sacred
gifts
into the house of the LORD —
the census
money, the money from
vows
, and the money brought
voluntarily
into the house of the LORD .
And
Jehoash
said to the priests, All the money of
the
dedicated
things
that
is
brought into the house of the LORD ,
even
the money of
every
one
that
passeth
the
account
, the money that
every
man
is
set
at
, and all
the money that
cometh
into any
man's
heart
to
bring
into
the house of the LORD ,
Let every
priest
receive
it from
his
constituency
, and let it
be
used
to
repair any damage
found in
the
temple
. ”
Let the
priests
take
it to
them
, every
man
of
his
acquaintance:
and let them
repair the
breaches
of
the
house,
wheresoever
any breach
shall
be
found.
By
the twenty-third
year of the
reign
of
Joash,
however,
the priests had not yet
repaired the damage
to
the temple
.
But
it
was
so,
that
in
the three
and
twentieth
year of king
Jehoash
the priests had not repaired the breaches
of
the house
.
So
King Joash
called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “
Why have
you
not repaired
the damage
to
the temple
? Now ,
therefore ,
take
no more money from
your constituency
, but hand
it over
for the repair
of the temple
. ”
Then
king Jehoash
called for
Jehoiada the
priest,
and the other priests ,
and said unto
them
, Why repair
ye
not the breaches
of
the house
? now therefore receive
no more money of
your acquaintance
, but deliver
it for the breaches
of the house
.
So
the priests agreed
that
they
would
not
receive money from
the people and
that
they
would
not
repair the temple
themselves
.
And
the priests consented
to
receive no
more
money of
the people ,
neither
to
repair the breaches
of
the
house
.
Then
Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its
lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters
the house of the LORD .
There
the priests who
guarded
the threshold
put all the money brought into the house of the LORD.
But
Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and
bored a hole in the
lid of
it
, and set it beside the altar ,
on the right side as one cometh
into
the house of the LORD :
and
the priests that
kept
the door
put therein
all the money that
was
brought into the house of the LORD.
Whenever
they saw that there was a
large
amount
of
money in the chest, the royal
scribe and the high priest would
go
up, count
the money brought
into
the house of the LORD ,
and
tie
it
up
in
bags
.
And
it
was
so,
when
they saw that there was much
money in the chest, that
the king's
scribe and the high priest came
up, and
they
put
up
in
bags,
and
told
the money that
was
found
in
the house of the LORD.
Then
they would
put
the counted
money into the hands of those
who
supervised
the work on
the house of the LORD ,
who
in
turn
would
pay
those
doing
the
work—
the carpenters ,
builders,
And
they gave
the money ,
being
told,
into the hands of them
that
did
the work ,
that
had
the oversight
of
the
house of the LORD :
and
they
laid
it
out
to
the carpenters and
builders, that
wrought
upon
the
house
of
the
LORD,
masons, and stonecutters.
They
also
purchased
timber and dressed
stone to repair the damage
to
the house of the LORD, and they
paid
the
other
expenses
of
the temple
repairs
.
And
to
masons, and hewers
of
stone,
and
to
buy
timber and hewed
stone to repair the breaches
of
the house of the LORD, and for
all
that
was
laid
out
for
the house
to
repair
it
.
However,
the
money
brought
into
the house of the LORD was
not
used
for
making
silver basins
, wick
trimmers
, sprinkling
bowls
, trumpets, or
any articles
of gold or silver for
the house of the LORD .
Howbeit
there
were
not
made
for
the house of the LORD bowls
of
silver, snuffers
, basins
, trumpets, any vessels
of gold ,
or vessels
of
silver ,
of
the money
that
was
brought
into
the
house of the LORD :
Instead,
it
was
paid
to those
doing
the work
, and with
it
they
repaired the house of the LORD.
But
they
gave
that
to the workmen
, and repaired therewith
the house of the LORD.
No
accounting
was
required
from
the men who
received
the money to pay
the
workmen ,
because
they acted
with
integrity
.
Moreover
they
reckoned
not
with
the men ,
into
whose
hand
they
delivered
the money to be
bestowed
on
workmen :
for
they dealt
faithfully
.
The money from
the
guilt
offerings
and sin offerings
was not brought into the house of the LORD ;
it belonged
to
the priests.
The trespass
money and sin money
was not brought into the house of the LORD :
it was
the priests '
.
At
that
time
Hazael king of Aram
marched
up and fought against Gath and captured
it .
Then
he
decided
to attack
Jerusalem.
Then
Hazael king of Syria
went
up ,
and fought against Gath ,
and took
it :
and
Hazael
set
his
face
to go
up
to
Jerusalem.
So
King Joash
of Judah took all the sacred
objects
dedicated
by
his
fathers—
Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the
kings of Judah —along
with
his own consecrated
items
and all the gold found in the treasuries
of the house of the LORD and the royal
palace
, and he
sent them
to Hazael king of Aram.
So
Hazael
withdrew
from Jerusalem.
And
Jehoash
king of Judah took all the hallowed
things
that
Jehoshaphat, and
Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his
fathers,
kings of Judah ,
had
dedicated,
and
his own hallowed
things,
and all the gold that
was
found in the treasures
of the house of the LORD ,
and in
the king's
house
, and sent it
to Hazael king of Syria:
and
he
went
away
from Jerusalem.
As
for
the rest of the acts of Joash, along
with
all his
accomplishments
, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And
the rest of the acts of Joash, and
all that
he
did
, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And the
servants of
Joash
rose
up
and formed
a conspiracy and killed
him
at
Beth-
millo, on
the
road
down to Silla.
And his
servants arose,
and made
a conspiracy ,
and slew
Joash
in
the
house
of
Millo, which
goeth
down to Silla.
His
servants
Jozabad
son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer struck
him down
, and he died .
And they buried him with his fathers in the City of David ,
and his son Amaziah
reigned in his place
.
For
Jozachar
the
son of Shimeath ,
and Jehozabad the
son of Shomer ,
his
servants,
smote
him, and he died ;
and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David :
and Amaziah
his son reigned in his stead
.
