1 # Joash <03101> was seven <07651> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800) , and he reigned <04427> (8804) forty <0705> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother's <0517> name <08034> also was Zibiah <06645> of Beersheba <0884>.
2 And Joash <03101> did <06213> (8799) that which was right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> all the days <03117> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>.
3 And Jehoiada <03077> took <05375> (8799) for him two <08147> wives <0802>; and he begat <03205> (8686) sons <01121> and daughters <01323>.
4 And it came to pass after <0310> this, that Joash <03101> was minded <03820> to repair <02318> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
5 And he gathered together <06908> (8799) the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and said <0559> (8799) to them, Go out <03318> (8798) unto the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and gather <06908> (8798) of all Israel <03478> money <03701> to repair <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of your God <0430> from <01767> year <08141> to year <08141>, and see that ye hasten <04116> (8762) the matter <01697>. Howbeit the Levites <03881> hastened <04116> (8765) it not.
6 And the king <04428> called <07121> (8799) for Jehoiada <03077> the chief <07218>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Why hast thou not required <01875> (8804) of the Levites <03881> to bring in <0935> (8687) out of Judah <03063> and out of Jerusalem <03389> the collection <04864>, according to the commandment of Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>, and of the congregation <06951> of Israel <03478>, for the tabernacle <0168> of witness <05715>?
7 For the sons <01121> of Athaliah <06271>, that wicked <04849> woman, had broken up <06555> (8804) the house <01004> of God <0430>; and also all the dedicated things <06944> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> did they bestow <06213> (8804) upon Baalim <01168>.
8 And at the king's <04428> commandment <0559> (8799) they made <06213> (8799) a <0259> chest <0727>, and set <05414> (8799) it without <02351> at the gate <08179> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
9 And they made <05414> (8799) a proclamation <06963> through Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, to bring in <0935> (8687) to the LORD <03068> the collection <04864> that Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of God <0430> laid upon Israel <03478> in the wilderness <04057>.
10 And all the princes <08269> and all the people <05971> rejoiced <08055> (8799), and brought in <0935> (8686), and cast <07993> (8686) into the chest <0727>, until they had made an end <03615> (8763).
11 Now it came to pass, that at what time <06256> the chest <0727> was brought <0935> (8686) unto the king's <04428> office <06486> by the hand <03027> of the Levites <03881>, and when they saw <07200> (8800) that there was much <07227> money <03701>, the king's <04428> scribe <05608> (8802) and the high <07218> priest's <03548> officer <06496> came <0935> (8804) and emptied <06168> (8762) the chest <0727>, and took <05375> (8799) it, and carried <07725> <00> it to his place <04725> again <07725> (8686). Thus they did <06213> (8804) day <03117> by day <03117>, and gathered <0622> (8799) money <03701> in abundance <07230>.
12 And the king <04428> and Jehoiada <03077> gave <05414> (8799) it to such as did <06213> (8802) the work <04399> of the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and hired <07936> (8802) masons <02672> (8802) and carpenters <02796> to repair <02318> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and also such as wrought <02796> iron <01270> and brass <05178> to mend <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
13 So the workmen <04399> <06213> (8802) wrought <06213> (8799), and the work <04399> was <05927> (8799) perfected <0724> by them <03027>, and they set <05975> (8686) the house <01004> of God <0430> in his state <04971>, and strengthened <0553> (8762) it.
14 And when they had finished <03615> (8763) it, they brought <0935> (8689) the rest <07605> of the money <03701> before <06440> the king <04428> and Jehoiada <03077>, whereof were made <06213> (8799) vessels <03627> for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, even vessels <03627> to minister <08335>, and to offer <05927> (8687) withal , and spoons <03709>, and vessels <03627> of gold <02091> and silver <03701>. And they offered <05927> (8688) burnt offerings <05930> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> continually <08548> all the days <03117> of Jehoiada <03077>.
15 # But Jehoiada <03077> waxed old <02204> (8799), and was full <07646> (8799) of days <03117> when he died <04191> (8799); an hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141> old <01121> was he when he died <04194> .
16 And they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David <01732> among the kings <04428>, because he had done <06213> (8804) good <02896> in Israel <03478>, both toward God <0430>, and toward his house <01004>.
17 Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Jehoiada <03077> came <0935> (8804) the princes <08269> of Judah <03063>, and made obeisance <07812> (8691) to the king <04428>. Then the king <04428> hearkened <08085> (8804) unto them.
18 And they left <05800> (8799) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01> , and served <05647> (8799) groves <0842> and idols <06091>: and wrath <07110> came upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> for this their trespass <0819>.
19 Yet he sent <07971> (8799) prophets <05030> to them, to bring them again <07725> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>; and they testified <05749> (8686) against them: but they would not give ear <0238> (8689).
20 And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> came <03847> (8804) upon Zechariah <02148> the son <01121> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>, which stood <05975> (8799) above the people <05971>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) God <0430>, Why transgress <05674> (8802) ye the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068>, that ye cannot prosper <06743> (8686)? because ye have forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068>, he hath also forsaken <05800> (8799) you.

21 And they conspired <07194> (8799) against him, and stoned <07275> (8799) him with stones <068> at the commandment <04687> of the king <04428> in the court <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
22 Thus Joash <03101> the king <04428> remembered <02142> (8804) not the kindness <02617> which Jehoiada <03077> his father <01> had done <06213> (8804) to him, but slew <02026> (8799) his son <01121>. And when he died <04194>, he said <0559> (8804), The LORD <03068> look <07200> (8799) upon it, and require <01875> (8799) it.
23 And it came to pass at the end <08622> of the year <08141>, that the host <02428> of Syria <0758> came up <05927> (8804) against him: and they came <0935> (8799) to Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, and destroyed <07843> (8686) all the princes <08269> of the people <05971> from among the people <05971>, and sent <07971> (8765) all the spoil <07998> of them unto the king <04428> of Damascus <01834>.
24 For the army <02428> of the Syrians <0758> came <0935> (8804) with a small <04705> company of men <0582> , and the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8804) a very <03966> great <07230> host <02428> into their hand <03027> , because they had forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>. So they executed <06213> (8804) judgment <08201> against Joash <03101>.
25 And when they were departed <03212> (8800) from him, (for they left <05800> (8804) him in great <07227> diseases <04251>,) his own servants <05650> conspired <07194> (8694) against him for the blood <01818> of the sons <01121> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>, and slew <02026> (8799) him on his bed <04296>, and he died <04191> (8799): and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David <01732>, but they buried <06912> (8804) him not in the sepulchres <06913> of the kings <04428>.
26 And these are they that conspired <07194> (8693) against him; Zabad <02066> the son <01121> of Shimeath <08100> an Ammonitess <05985>, and Jehozabad <03075> the son <01121> of Shimrith <08116> a Moabitess <04125>.
27 Now concerning his sons <01121>, and the greatness <07235> (8799) (8675) <07230> of the burdens <04853> laid upon him, and the repairing <03247> of the house <01004> of God <0430>, behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the story <04097> of the book <05612> of the kings <04428>. And Amaziah <0558> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
