Joash
was
seven
years
old
when he began to reign
,
and he reigned
forty
years
in Jerusalem
.
His mother's
name
also
was
Zibiah
of Beersheba
.
2
And Joash
did
that which was
right
in the sight
of the LORD
all
the days
of Jehoiada
the priest
.
3
And Jehoiada
took
for him two
wives
;
and he begat
sons
and daughters
.
4
And it
came
to pass after
this,
that
Joash was minded
to repair
the house
of the LORD
.
5
And he gathered together
the priests
and the Levites
,
and said
to them, Go out
unto the cities
of Judah
,
and gather
of
all
Israel
money
to repair
the house
of your God
from
year to year,
and see that ye hasten
the matter
.
Howbeit the Levites
hastened
it
not.
6
And the king
called
for Jehoiada
the chief
,
and said
unto him,
Why
hast thou not required
of the Levites
to bring in
out of Judah
and out of Jerusalem
the collection
,
according to the commandment
of Moses
the servant
of the LORD
,
and of the congregation
of Israel
,
for the tabernacle
of witness?
7
For the sons
of Athaliah
,
that wicked
woman, had broken up
the house
of God
;
and also all the dedicated things
of
the house
of the LORD
did they bestow
upon Baalim
.
8
And at the king's
commandment
they made
a
chest
,
and set
it without
at the gate
of the house
of the LORD
.
9
And they made
a proclamation
through Judah
and Jerusalem
,
to bring in
to the LORD
the collection
that
Moses
the servant
of God
laid
upon Israel
in the wilderness
.
10
And all the princes
and all
the people
rejoiced
,
and brought in
,
and cast
into the chest
,
until
they had made an end
.
11
Now it
came
to pass, that at what time
the chest
was brought
unto
the king's
office by the hand
of the Levites
,
and when they saw
that
there was
much
money
,
the king's
scribe
and the high
priest's
officer
came
and emptied
the chest
,
and took
it, and carried
it to his place
again
.
Thus
they did
day
by
day
,
and gathered
money
in abundance
.
12
And the king
and Jehoiada
gave
it to such as did
the work
of the service
of
the house
of the LORD
,
and hired
masons
and carpenters
to repair
the house
of the LORD
,
and also
such as wrought
iron
and brass
to mend
the house
of the LORD
.
13
So the
work
men
wrought
,
and the
work
was
perfected
by them
,
and they set
the house
of God
in his state
,
and strengthened
it.
14
And when they had finished
it
, they brought
the rest
of the money
before
the king
and Jehoiada
,
whereof were made
vessels
for the house
of the LORD
,
even
vessels
to minister
,
and to offer
withal
, and spoons,
and
vessels
of gold
and silver
. And they offered
burnt offerings
in the house
of the LORD
continu
all
y
all
the days
of Jehoiada
.
15
But Jehoiada
waxed
old
,
and was full
of days
when he died
;
an hundred
and thirty
years
old
was he
when he died
.
16
And they buried
him in the city
of David
among
the kings
,
because
he had done
good
in Israel
,
both toward God
,
and toward his house
.
17
Now after
the death
of Jehoiada
came
the princes
of Judah
,
and made obeisance
to the king
.
Then the king
hearkened
unto them.
18
And they left
the house
of the LORD
God
of their fathers
,
and served
groves
and idols
:
and wrath
came
upon Judah
and Jerusalem
for this their trespass
.
19
Yet he sent
prophets
to them, to bring them again
unto the LORD
;
and they testified
against them: but they would not give ear.
20
And the Spirit
of
God
came
upon Zechariah
the son
of Jehoiada
the priest
,
which stood
above the people
,
and said
unto them,
Thus
saith
God
,
Why
transgress
ye the commandments
of
the LORD
,
that ye cannot prosper
? because ye have
for
saken
the LORD
,
he hath also
for
saken
you.
21
And they conspired
against
him, and stoned
him with stones
at the commandment
of the king
in the court
of the house
of the LORD
.
22
Thus Joash
the king
remembered
not the kindness
which
Jehoiada
his father
had done
to him, but slew
his son
. And when he died,
he said
,
The LORD
look
upon
it
, and require
it
.
23
And it came to pass at the end
of the year
,
that
the host
of Syria
came up
against
him: and they came
to Judah
and Jerusalem
,
and destroyed
all
the princes
of the people
from among the people
,
and sent
all
the spoil
of them unto the king
of Damascus
.
24
For the army
of the Syrians
came
with a small
company of men,
and
the LORD
delivered
a very
great
host
into their hand
,
because
they had forsaken
the LORD
God
of their fathers
.
So they executed
judgment
against Joash.
25
And when they were departed from him, (for they left
him in great
diseases,) his own servants
conspired
against
him for the blood
of the sons
of Jehoiada
the priest
,
and slew
him on his bed
,
and he died
:
and they buried
him in the city
of David
,
but they buried
him not in the sepulchres
of the kings
.
26
And these are they that conspired
against
him; Zabad
the son
of Shimeath
an Ammonitess
,
and Jehozabad
the son
of Shimrith
a Moabitess
.
27
Now
concerning
his son
s
, and the greatness
of the burdens
laid
upon him, and the repairing
of the house
of God
, behold, they
are
written
in the story
of the book
of the kings
.
And Amaziah
his son
reigned
in his stead.
