In the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JehuH3058 JehoashH3060 began to reign;H4427 and fortyH705 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in Jerusalem.H3389 And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZibiahH6645 of Beersheba.H884
2
And JehoashH3060 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117 whereinH834 JehoiadaH3111 the priestH3548 instructedH3384 him.
3
But the highH1116 places were not takenH5493 away:H5493 the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burntH6999 incenseH6999 in the highH1116 places.
4
And JehoashH3060 saidH559 to the priests,H3548 AllH3605 the moneyH3701 of the dedicatedH6944 things that is broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 even the moneyH3701 of everyH3605 one that passesH5674 the account, the moneyH3701 that every manH5315 is setH6187 at, and allH3605 the moneyH3701 that comesH5927 intoH5921 any man'sH376 heartH3820 to bringH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068
5
Let the priestsH3548 takeH3947 it to them, every manH376 of his acquaintance:H4378 and let them repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the house,H1004 whereverH834 H8033 anyH376 breachH919 shall be found.H4672
6
But it was so, that in the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JehoashH3060 the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388 the breachesH919 of the house.H1004
7
Then kingH4428 JehoashH3060 calledH7121 for JehoiadaH3111 the priest,H3548 and the other priests,H3548 and saidH559 to them, WhyH4069 repairH2388 you not the breachesH919 of the house?H1004 nowH6258 therefore receiveH3947 noH408 more moneyH3701 of your acquaintance,H4378 but deliverH5414 it for the breachesH919 of the house.H1004
8
And the priestsH3548 consentedH225 to receiveH3947 noH1115 more moneyH3701 of the people,H5971 neitherH1115 to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the house.H1004
9
But JehoiadaH3111 the priestH3548 tookH3947 a chest,H727 and boredH5344 a holeH2356 in the lidH1817 of it, and setH5414 it besideH681 the altar,H4196 on the rightH3225 sideH3225 as oneH376 comesH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068 and the priestsH3548 that keptH8104 the doorH5592 putH5414 thereinH8033 allH3605 the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068
10
And it was so, when they sawH7200 that there was muchH7225 moneyH3701 in the chest,H727 that the king'sH4428 scribeH5608 and the highH1419 priestH3548 cameH5927 up, and they putH6696 up in bags,H6696 and toldH4487 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068
11
And they gaveH5414 the money,H3701 being told,H8505 intoH5921 the handsH3027 of them that didH6213 the work,H4399 that had the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068 and they laidH3318 it out to the carpentersH6086 and builders,H1129 that workedH6213 on the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068
12
And to masons,H1443 and hewersH2672 of stone,H68 and to buyH7069 timberH6086 and hewedH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and for allH3605 that was laidH3318 out for the houseH1004 to repairH2393 it.
13
However, there were not madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 bowlsH5592 of silver,H3701 snuffers,H4212 basins,H4219 trumpets,H2689 any vesselsH3627 of gold,H2091 or vesselsH3627 of silver,H3701 of the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068
14
But they gaveH5414 that to the workmen,H6213 H4399 and repairedH2388 therewith the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068
15
Moreover they reckonedH2803 not with the men,H582 intoH5921 whoseH834 handH3027 they deliveredH5414 the moneyH3701 to be bestowedH5414 on workmen:H6213 H4399 for they dealtH6213 faithfully.H530
16
The trespassH817 moneyH3701 and sin moneyH3701 was not broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068 it was the priests'.H3548
17
ThenH227 HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 wentH5927 up, and foughtH3898 againstH5921 Gath,H1661 and tookH3920 it: and HazaelH2371 setH7760 his faceH6440 to goH5927 up to Jerusalem.H3389
18
And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 allH3605 the hallowedH6944 things that Jehoshaphat,H3092 and Jehoram,H3088 and Ahaziah,H274 his fathers,H1 kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 had dedicated,H6942 and his own hallowedH6944 things, and allH3605 the goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and in the king'sH4428 house,H1004 and sentH7971 it to HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria:H758 and he wentH5927 away from Jerusalem.H3389
19
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Joash,H3101 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Judah?H3063
20
And his servantsH5650 arose,H6965 and made a conspiracy,H7195 and slewH5221 JoashH3101 in the houseH1004 of Millo,H4407 which goesH3381 downH3381 to Silla.H5538
21
For JozacharH3108 the sonH1121 of Shimeath,H8100 and JehozabadH3075 the sonH1121 of Shomer,H7763 his servants,H5650 smoteH5221 him, and he died;H4191 and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of David:H1732 and AmaziahH558 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
