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.

And Joash
did
that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD
all the days
of Jehoiada
the priest.
And Jehoiada
took
for him two
wives;
and he begat
sons
and daughters.
And it came to pass after
this, that Joash
was minded
to repair
the house
of the LORD.
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.

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?

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.
And at the king's
commandment
they made
a
chest,
and set
it without
at the gate
of the house
of the LORD.
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.
And all the princes
and all the people
rejoiced,
and brought in,
and cast
into the chest,
until they had made an end.
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.

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.

So the workmen
wrought,
and the work
was
perfected
by them,
and they set
the house
of God
in his state,
and strengthened
it.
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
continually
all the days
of Jehoiada.

But Jehoiada
waxed old,
and was full
of days
when he died;
an hundred
and thirty
years
old
was he when he died.
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.
Now after
the death
of Jehoiada
came
the princes
of Judah,
and made obeisance
to the king.
Then the king
hearkened
unto them.
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.

Yet he sent
prophets
to them, to bring them again
unto the LORD;
and they testified
against them: but they would not give ear.
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 forsaken
the LORD,
he hath also forsaken
you.

And they conspired
against him, and stoned

at the commandment

in the court
of the house
of the LORD.
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.

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.
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.

And when they were departed
from him, (for they left
him in great

) his own servants
conspired
against him for the blood
of the sons
of Jehoiada

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

And these are they that conspired

Now concerning his sons,
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.
