H3101
Joash
H7651
was seven
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427
when he began to reign,
H4427
and he reigned
H705
forty
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem.
H517
His mother's
H8034
name
H6645
also was Zibiah
H884
of Beer–sheba.
2
H3101
And Joash
H6213
did
H3477
that which was right
H5869
in the sight
H3068
of the Lord
H3117
all the days
H3077
of Jehoiada
H3548
the priest.
3
H3077
And Jehoiada
H5375
took
H8147
for him two
H802
wives;
H3205
and he fathered
H1121
sons
H1323
and daughters.
4
H310
And it came to pass after
H3101
this, that Joash
H3820
was minded
H2318
to repair
H1004
the house
H3068
of the Lord.
5
H6908
And he gathered together
H3548
the priests
H3881
and the Levites,
H559
and said
H3318
to them, Go out
H5892
unto the cities
H3063
of Judah,
H6908
and gather
H3478
of all Israel
H3701
money
H2388
to repair
H1004
the house
H430
of your God
H1767
from
H8141
year
H8141
to year,
H4116
and see that you hasten
H1697
the matter.
H3881
But the Levites
H4116
hurried it not.
6
H4428
And the king
H7121
called
H3077
for Jehoiada
H7218
the chief,
H559
and said
H1875
unto him, Why have you not required
H3881
of the Levites
H935
to bring in
H3063
out of Judah
H3389
and out of Jerusalem
H4864
the collection,
H4872
according to the commandment of Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of the Lord,
H6951
and of the congregation
H3478
of Israel,
H168
for the tabernacle
H5715
of witness?
7
H1121
For the sons
H6271
of Athaliah,
H4849
that wicked
H6555
woman, had broken up
H1004
the house
H430
of God;
H6944
and also all the dedicated things
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the Lord
H6213
did they bestow
H1168
upon Baalim.
8
H4428
And at the king's
H559
commandment
H6213
they made
H259
a
H727
chest,
H5414
and set
H2351
it outside
H8179
at the gate
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the Lord.
9
H5414
And they made
H6963
a proclamation
H3063
through Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem,
H935
to bring in
H3068
to the Lord
H4864
the collection
H4872
that Moses
H5650
the servant
H430
of God
H3478
laid upon Israel
H4057
in the wilderness.
10
H8269
And all the princes
H5971
and all the people
H8055
rejoiced,
H935
and brought in,
H7993
and cast
H727
into the chest,
H3615
until they had made an end.
11
H6256
Now it came to pass, that at what time
H727
the chest
H935
was brought
H4428
unto the king's
H6486
office
H3027
by the hand
H3881
of the Levites,
H7200
and when they saw
H7227
that there was much
H3701
money,
H4428
the king's
H5608
scribe
H7218
and the high
H3548
priest's
H6496
officer
H935
came
H6168
and emptied
H727
the chest,
H5375
and took
H7725
it, and carried
H4725
it to his place
H7725
again.
H6213
Thus they did
H3117
day
H3117
by day,
H622
and gathered
H3701
money
H7230
in abundance.
12
H4428
And the king
H3077
and Jehoiada
H5414
gave
H6213
it to such as did
H4399
the work
H5656
of the service
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H7936
and hired
H2672
masons
H2796
and carpenters
H2318
to repair
H1004
the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H2796
and also such as worked
H1270
iron
H5178
and brass
H2388
to mend
H1004
the house
H3068
of the Lord.
13
H4399
So the workmen
H6213
worked,
H4399
and the work
H5927
was
H724
perfected
H3027
by them,
H5975
and they set
H1004
the house
H430
of God
H4971
in his state,
H553
and strengthened it.
14
H3615
And when they had finished
H935
it, they brought
H7605
the rest
H3701
of the money
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H3077
and Jehoiada,
H6213
whereof were made
H3627
vessels
H1004
for the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H3627
even vessels
H8335
to minister,
H5927
and to offer
H3709
with, and spoons,
H3627
and vessels
H2091
of gold
H3701
and silver.
H5927
And they offered
H5930
burnt offerings
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the Lord
H8548
continually
H3117
all the days
H3077
of Jehoiada.
15
H3077
But Jehoiada
H2204
grew old,
H7646
and was full
H3117
of days
H4191
when he died;
H3967
an hundred
H7970
and thirty
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4194
was he when he died.
16
H6912
And they buried
H5892
him in the city
H1732
of David
H4428
among the kings,
H6213
because he had done
H2896
good
H3478
in Israel,
H430
both toward God,
H1004
and toward his house.
17
H310
Now after
H4194
the death
H3077
of Jehoiada
H935
came
H8269
the princes
H3063
of Judah,
H7812
and made bow
H4428
to the king.
H4428
Then the king
H8085
listened unto them.
18
H5800
And they left
H1004
the house
H3068
of the Lord
H430
God
H1
of their fathers,
H5647
and served
H842
groves
H6091
and idols:
H7110
and wrath
H3063
came upon Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem
H819
for this their trespass.
19
H7971
Yet he sent
H5030
prophets
H7725
to them, to bring them again
H3068
unto the Lord;
H5749
and they testified
H238
against them: but they would not give ear.
20
H7307
And the Spirit
H430
of God
H3847
came
H2148
upon Zechariah
H1121
the son
H3077
of Jehoiada
H3548
the priest,
H5975
which stood
H5971
above the people,
H559
and said
H559
unto them, Thus says
H430
God,
H5674
Why transgress
H4687
you the commandments
H3068
of the Lord,
H6743
that you cannot prosper?
H5800
because you have forsaken
H3068
the Lord,
H5800
he has also forsaken you.
21
H7194
And they conspired
H7275
against him, and stoned
H68
him with stones
H4687
at the commandment
H4428
of the king
H2691
in the court
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the Lord.
22
H3101
Thus Joash
H4428
the king
H2142
remembered
H2617
not the kindness
H3077
which Jehoiada
H1
his father
H6213
had done
H2026
to him, but killed
H1121
his son.
H4194
And when he died,
H559
he said,
H3068
The Lord
H7200
look
H1875
upon it, and require it.
23
H8622
And it came to pass at the end
H8141
of the year,
H2428
that the army
H758
of Syria
H5927
came up
H935
against him: and they came
H3063
to Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem,
H7843
and destroyed
H8269
all the princes
H5971
of the people
H5971
from among the people,
H7971
and sent
H7998
all the plunder
H4428
of them unto the king
H1834
of Damascus.
24
H2428
For the army
H758
of the Syrians
H935
came
H4705
with a small
H582
company of men,
H3068
and the Lord
H5414
delivered
H3966
a very
H7230
great
H2428
army
H3027
into their hand,
H5800
because they had forsaken
H3068
the Lord
H430
God
H1
of their fathers.
H6213
So they executed
H8201
judgment
H3101
against Joash.
25
H3212
And when they were departed
H5800
from him, (for they left
H7227
him very
H4251
sick,)
H5650
his own servants
H7194
conspired
H1818
against him for the blood
H1121
of the sons
H3077
of Jehoiada
H3548
the priest,
H2026
and killed
H4296
him on his bed,
H4191
and he died:
H6912
and they buried
H5892
him in the city
H1732
of David,
H6912
but they buried
H6913
him not in the tombs
H4428
of the kings.
