1In the seventh7651 year8141 of Jehu3058 Jehoash3060 began to reign4427; and forty705 years8141 reigned4427 he in Jerusalem3389. And his mother's517 name8034 was Zibiah6645 of Beersheba884.
2And Jehoash3060 did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 all his days3117 wherein Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 instructed3384 him.
3But the high places1116 were not taken away5493: the people5971 still sacrificed2076 and burnt incense6999 in the high places1116.
4And Jehoash3060 said559 to the priests3548, All the money3701 of the dedicated things6944 that is brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068, even the money3701 of every one376 that passeth5674 the account, the money3701 that every man5315 is set at6187, and all the money3701 that cometh5927 into any man's376 heart3820 to bring935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068,
5Let the priests3548 take3947 it to them, every man376 of his acquaintance4378: and let them repair2388 the breaches919 of the house1004, wheresoever any breach919 shall be found4672.
6But it was so, that in the three7969 8141 and twentieth6242 year8141 of king4428 Jehoash3060 the priests3548 had not repaired2388 the breaches919 of the house1004.
7Then king4428 Jehoash3060 called7121 for Jehoiada3077 the priest3548, and the other priests3548, and said559 unto them, Why repair2388 ye not the breaches919 of the house1004? now therefore receive3947 no more money3701 of your acquaintance4378, but deliver5414 it for the breaches919 of the house1004.
8And the priests3548 consented225 to receive3947 no1115 more money3701 of the people5971, neither1115 to repair2388 the breaches919 of the house1004.
9But Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 took3947 a259 chest727, and bored5344 a hole2356 in the lid1817 of it, and set5414 it beside681 the altar4196, on the right side3225 as one376 cometh935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068: and the priests3548 that kept8104 the door5592 put5414 therein all the money3701 that was brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068.
10And it was so, when they saw7200 that there was much7227 money3701 in the chest727, that the king's4428 scribe5608 and the high1419 priest3548 came up5927, and they put up in bags6696, and told4487 the money3701 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD3068.
11And they gave5414 the money3701, being told8505, into the hands3027 of them that did6213 the work4399, that had the oversight6485 6485 of the house1004 of the LORD3068: and they laid it out3318 to the carpenters2796 6086 and builders1129, that wrought6213 upon the house1004 of the LORD3068,
12And to masons1443, and hewers2672 of stone68, and to buy7069 timber6086 and hewed4274 stone68 to repair2388 the breaches919 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and for all that was laid out3318 for the house1004 to repair2394 it.
13Howbeit there were not made6213 for the house1004 of the LORD3068 bowls5592 of silver3701, snuffers4212, basons4219, trumpets2689, any vessels3627 of gold2091, or vessels3627 of silver3701, of the money3701 that was brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068:
14But they gave5414 that to the workmen4399 6213, and repaired2388 therewith the house1004 of the LORD3068.
15Moreover they reckoned2803 not with the men582, into whose hand3027 they delivered5414 the money3701 to be bestowed5414 on workmen4399: for they dealt6213 faithfully530.
16The trespass817 money3701 and sin2403 money3701 was not brought935 into the house1004 of the LORD3068: it was the priests'3548.
17Then Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758 went up5927, and fought3898 against Gath1661, and took3920 it: and Hazael2371 set7760 his face6440 to go up5927 to Jerusalem3389.
18And Jehoash3060 king4428 of Judah3063 took3947 all the hallowed things6944 that Jehoshaphat3092, and Jehoram3088, and Ahaziah274, his fathers1, kings4428 of Judah3063, had dedicated6942, and his own hallowed things6944, and all the gold2091 that was found4672 in the treasures214 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and in the king's4428 house1004, and sent7971 it to Hazael2371 king4428 of Syria758: and he went away5927 from Jerusalem3389.
19And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Joash3101, and all that he did6213, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah3063?
20And his servants5650 arose6965, and made7194 a conspiracy7195, and slew5221 Joash3101 in the house1004 of Millo4407 1037, which goeth down3381 to Silla5538.
21For Jozachar3108 the son1121 of Shimeath8100, and Jehozabad3075 the son1121 of Shomer7763, his servants5650, smote5221 him, and he died4191; and they buried6912 him with his fathers1 in the city5892 of David1732: and Amaziah558 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
