Young's Literal Translation
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 reigned
hath
Jehoash
, and forty
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and
the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Zibiah of
Beer-Sheba,
And Joash
did
what
was
right in the eyes of the
LORD
all the
days he
was
instructed
by
Jehoiada the priest .
and Jehoash
doth
that
which
is
right in the eyes of Jehovah
all his
days in
which
Jehoiada the priest directed
him,
Nevertheless
, the high places were
not removed;
the people continued
sacrificing and burning
incense
there
.
only
, the high places have
not turned
aside,
still
are
the people sacrificing and making
perfume
in
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
saith
unto
the priests, `
All the money of
the
sanctified
things
that
is
brought in
to
the house of Jehovah,
the money of
him
who
is
passing
over
, each
the money of
his
valuation
, all
the money that
it
goeth
up
on
the heart
of a
man
to
bring
in
to
the house
of
Jehovah,
Let
every
priest
receive
it
from his constituency
, and let
it
be
used
to
repair
any
damage
found
in
the temple
. ”
do
the
priests
take
to
them,
each
from his acquaintance
, and they
strengthen
the breach
of
the
house,
in
all
`places'
where
there
is
found
a
breach
. '
By
the twenty -
third year of the
reign
of
Joash,
however
, the priests had
not yet
repaired
the damage
to
the temple.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
the twenty and
third year of king
Jehoash
, the priests have
not strengthened
the breach
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
. ”
and
king Jehoash
calleth
to
Jehoiada the
priest,
and to
the priests ,
and saith
unto
them
, `Wherefore
are
ye
not strengthening
the breach
of
the house
? and
now, receive
no money from your acquaintances
, but for the breach
of the house
give
it
. '
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 consent
not to
receive money from the people ,
nor
to
strengthen
the breach
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
.
and
Jehoiada the priest taketh
a chest, and
pierceth
a hole in its lid, and putteth
it near
the altar ,
on the right side ,
as one cometh
in
to
the house of Jehovah,
and
the priests keeping
the threshold have
put there
all the money that
is
brought in
to
the house of Jehovah
.
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
cometh
to
pass,
at
their
seeing
that the
money `is'
abundant
in the chest, that
there
goeth
up
a
scribe of
the
king,
and of
the high priest ,
and
they
bind
`it'
up, and
count the money that
is
found
`in'
the house of Jehovah
,
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
have
given
the weighed
money into the hands of those doing
the work ,
those
inspecting
the house of Jehovah
, and
they
bring
it
out
to
those working
in
the wood
, and
to
builders who
are
working
in
the
house
of
Jehovah
,
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
those
`repairing'
the
wall,
and to
hewers
of
stone ,
and
to buy
wood
and
hewn
stones
to strengthen
the breach
of the house
of
Jehovah
, and for
all
that
goeth
out
on
the house,
to
strengthen
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.
Only
, there
is
not
made
for
the house of Jehovah
basins of
silver
, snuffers
, bowls, trumpets, any vessel
of gold ,
and
vessel
of
silver ,
out
of
the money
that
is
brought
into
the
house of Jehovah;
Instead,
it
was
paid
to those doing the work, and with it they
repaired
the house of the
LORD.
for
to those doing the work they
give
it
, and they
have
strengthened
with it the house of Jehovah,
No
accounting
was
required
from
the men who
received
the money to pay
the workmen
, because
they acted
with
integrity
.
and
they
do
not
reckon
with
the men into
whose
hand
they
give
the money to give
to
those
doing
the work
, for
in
faithfulness
they are
dealing
.
The money from
the
guilt
offerings
and sin offerings was
not brought into
the house of the
LORD;
it
belonged
to
the priests.
The money of
a
trespass-offering,
and the
money
of
sin -
offerings is
not brought in
to
the house of Jehovah
--
for
the priests it
is
.
At
that
time
Hazael king of Aram marched
up
and fought
against Gath and captured
it .
Then
he
decided
to attack
Jerusalem .
Then
go
up
doth
Hazael king of Aram ,
and fighteth
against Gath ,
and captureth
it ,
and
Hazael
setteth
his
face
to go
up
against
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 taketh
all the sanctified
things
that
Jehoshaphat, and
Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his
fathers,
kings of Judah ,
had
sanctified,
and
his own sanctified
things,
and all the gold that
is
found in the treasures
of the house of Jehovah
and of
the house
of
the
king
, and sendeth
to Hazael king of Aram ,
and
he
goeth
up
from off
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 matters
of Joash, and
all that
he
did
, are they not written on
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 rise,
and make
a conspiracy ,
and smite
Joash
in
the
house
of
Millo, that
is
going
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
.
yea,
Jozachar
son of Shimeath ,
and Jehozabad son of Shemer,
his
servants,
have
smitten
him, and he dieth,
and they bury
him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign
doth
Amaziah
his son ,
in his stead
.
