1
Joash
was seven
years
old
when he became
king, and he reigned
forty
years
in Jerusalem;
and his mother's
name
was Zibiah
from Beersheba.
2
Joash
did
what was right
in the sight
of the LORD
all
the days
of Jehoiada
the priest.
3
Jehoiada
took
two
wives
for him, and he became the father
of sons
and daughters.
4
Now it came
about after
this
that Joash
decided
to restore
the house
of the LORD.
5
He gathered
the priests
and Levites
and said
to them, "Go
out to the cities
of Judah
and collect
money
from all
Israel
to repair
the house
of your God
annually,
and you shall do
the matter
quickly."
But the Levites
did not act quickly.
6
So the king
summoned
Jehoiada
the chief
priest and said
to him, "Why
have you not required
the Levites
to bring
in from Judah
and from Jerusalem
the levy
fixed by Moses
the servant
of the LORD
on the congregation
of Israel
for the tent
of the testimony?"
7
For the sons
of the wicked
Athaliah
had broken
into the house
of God
and even
used
the holy things
of the house
of the LORD
for the Baals.
8
So the king
commanded,
and they made
a chest
and set
it outside
by the gate
of the house
of the LORD.
9
They made
a proclamation
in Judah
and Jerusalem
to bring
to the LORD
the levy
fixed by Moses
the servant
of God
on Israel
in the wilderness.
10
All
the officers
and all
the people
rejoiced
and brought
in their levies and dropped
them into the chest
until
they had finished.
11
It came
about whenever
the chest
was brought
in to the king's
officer
by the Levites,
and when they saw
that there was
much
money,
then the king's
scribe
and the chief
priest's
officer
would come,
empty
the chest
,
take
it, and return
it to its place.
Thus
they did
daily
and collected
much
money.
12
The king
and Jehoiada
gave
it to those who did
the work
of the service
of
the house
of the LORD;
and they hired
masons
and carpenters
to restore
the house
of the LORD,
and also
workers
in iron
and bronze
to repair
the house
of the LORD.
13
So the
work
men
labored,
and the repair
work
progressed
in their hands,
and they restored
the house
of God
according
to its specifications
and strengthened
it.
14
When they had finished,
they brought
the rest
of the money
before
the king
and Jehoiada;
and it was made
into
utensils
for the house
of the LORD
,
utensils
for the service
and the burnt offering,
and pans
and
utensils
of gold
and silver.
And they offered
burnt offerings
in the house
of the LORD
continu
all
y
all
the days
of Jehoiada.
15
Now when Jehoiada
reached
a ripe
old
age
he died;
he was one hundred
and thirty
years
old
at his death.
16
They buried
him in the city
of David
among
the kings,
because
he had done
well
in Israel
and to God
and His house.
17
But after
the death
of Jehoiada
the officials
of Judah
came
and bowed down
to the king,
and the king
listened
to them.
18
They abandoned
the house
of the LORD,
the God
of their fathers,
and served
the Asherim
and the idols;
so wrath
came
upon Judah
and Jerusalem
for this
their guilt.
19
Yet He sent
prophets
to them to bring them back
to the LORD;
though they testified
against them, they would not listen.
20
Then the Spirit
of
God
came
on Zechariah
the son
of Jehoiada
the priest;
and he stood
above
the people
and said
to them, "Thus
God
has said,
'
Why
do you transgress
the commandments
of the LORD
and do not prosper?
Because
you have forsaken
the LORD,
He has also forsaken
you.'"
21
So they conspired
against
him and at the command
of the king
they stoned
him to death
in the court
of the house
of the LORD.
22
Thus Joash
the king
did not remember
the kindness
which
his father
Jehoiada
had shown
him, but he murdered
his son.
And as he died
he said,
"May the LORD
see
and avenge!"
23
Now it happened
at the turn
of the year
that the army
of the Arameans
came
up against
him; and they
came
to Judah
and Jerusalem,
destroyed
all
the officials
of the people
from among the people,
and sent
all
their spoil
to the king
of Damascus.
24
Indeed
the
army
of the Arameans
came
with a small
number of men;
yet the LORD
delivered
a very
great
army
into their hands,
because
they had forsaken
the LORD,
the God
of their fathers.
Thus they executed
judgment
on Joash.
25
When they had departed
from him (for they left
him very
sick),
his own servants
conspired
against
him because of the blood
of the son
of Jehoiada
the priest,
and murdered
him on his bed.
So he died,
and they buried
him in the city
of David,
but they did not bury
him in the tombs
of the kings.
26
Now these
are those who conspired
against
him: Zabad
the son
of Shimeath
the Ammonitess,
and Jehozabad
the son
of Shimrith
the Moabitess.
27
As to
his son
s
and the many
oracles
against
him and the rebuilding
of the house
of God,
behold,
they are written
in the treatise
of the Book
of the Kings.
Then Amaziah
his son
became king
in his place.
