^[1] Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba. ^[2] Jehoash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. ^[3] However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. ^[4] Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into Yahweh’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated,^† and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into Yahweh’s house, ^[5] let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.” ^[6] But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house. ^[7] Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.” ^[8] The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house. ^[9] But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into Yahweh’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house into it. ^[10] When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in Yahweh’s house. ^[11] They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on Yahweh’s house, ^[12] and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. ^[13] But there were not made for Yahweh’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house; ^[14] for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired Yahweh’s house with it. ^[15] Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully. ^[16] The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into Yahweh’s house. It was the priests’. ^[17] Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. ^[18] Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem. ^[19] Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? ^[20] His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla. ^[21] For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

^[1] In the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JehuH3058 JehoashH3060 began to reign;H4427(QalPerf) and fortyH705 yearsH8141 reignedH4427(QalPerf) he in Jerusalem.H3389 And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 [was] ZibiahH6645 of Beersheba.H884 ^[2] And JehoashH3060 didH6213(QalImpf) [that which was] rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 all his daysH3117 wherein JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 instructedH3384(HiphPerf) him. ^[3] But the high placesH1116 were not taken away:H5493(QalPerf) the peopleH5971 still sacrificedH2076(PielPtc) and burnt incenseH6999(PielPtc) in the high places.H1116 ^[4] And JehoashH3060 saidH559(QalImpf) to the priests,H3548 All the moneyH3701 of the dedicated thingsH6944 that is broughtH935(HophImpf) into the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 [even] the moneyH3701 of every oneH376 that passethH5674(QalActPtc) [the account], the moneyH3701 that every manH5315 is set at,H6187 [and] all the moneyH3701 that comethH5927(QalImpf) into any man’sH376 heartH3820 to bringH935(HiphInf) into the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 ^[5] Let the priestsH3548 takeH3947(QalImpf) [it] to them, every manH376 of his acquaintance:H4378 and let them repairH2388(PielImpf) the breachesH919 of the house,H1004 wheresoever any breachH919 shall be found.H4672(NiphImpf) ^[6] But it was [so, that] in the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JehoashH3060 the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388(PielPerf) the breachesH919 of the house.H1004 ^[7] Then kingH4428 JehoashH3060 calledH7121(QalImpf) for JehoiadaH3077 the priest,H3548 and the [other] priests,H3548 and saidH559(QalImpf) unto them, Why repairH2388(PielPtc) ye not the breachesH919 of the house?H1004 now therefore receiveH3947(QalImpf) no [more] moneyH3701 of your acquaintance,H4378 but deliverH5414(QalImpf) it for the breachesH919 of the house.H1004 ^[8] And the priestsH3548 consentedH225(NiphImpf) to receiveH3947(QalInf) noH1115 [more] moneyH3701 of the people,H5971 neitherH1115 to repairH2388(PielInf) the breachesH919 of the house.H1004 ^[9] But JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 tookH3947(QalImpf) aH259 chest,H727 and boredH5344(QalImpf) a holeH2356 in the lidH1817 of it, and setH5414(QalImpf) it besideH681 the altar,H4196 on the right sideH3225 as oneH376 comethH935(QalInf) into the houseH1004 of the Lord:H3068 and the priestsH3548 that keptH8104(QalActPtc) the doorH5592 putH5414(QalPerf) therein all the moneyH3701 [that was] broughtH935(HophPtc) into the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 ^[10] And it was [so], when they sawH7200(QalInf) that [there was] muchH7227 moneyH3701 in the chest,H727 that the king’sH4428 scribeH5608(QalActPtc) and the highH1419 priestH3548 came up,H5927(QalImpf) and they put up in bags,H6696(QalImpf) and toldH4487(QalImpf) the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672(NiphPtc) in the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 ^[11] And they gaveH5414(QalPerf) the money,H3701 being told,H8505(PualPtc) into the handsH3027 of them that didH6213(QalActPtc) the work,H4399 that had the oversightH6485(HophPtc/Qere) of the houseH1004 of the Lord:H3068 and they laid it outH3318(HiphImpf) to the carpentersH2796 and builders,H1129(QalActPtc) that wroughtH6213(QalActPtc) upon the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 ^[12] And to masons,H1443(QalActPtc) and hewersH2672(QalActPtc) of stone,H68 and to buyH7069(QalInf) timberH6086 and hewedH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388(PielInf) the breachesH919 of the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 and for all that was laid outH3318(QalImpf) for the houseH1004 to repairH2394 [it]. ^[13] Howbeit there were not madeH6213(NiphImpf) for the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 bowlsH5592 of silver,H3701 snuffers,H4212 basons,H4219 trumpets,H2689 any vesselsH3627 of gold,H2091 or vesselsH3627 of silver,H3701 of the moneyH3701 [that was] broughtH935(HophPtc) into the houseH1004 of the Lord:H3068 ^[14] But they gaveH5414(QalImpf) that to the workmen,H4399 and repairedH2388(PielPerf) therewith the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 ^[15] Moreover they reckonedH2803(PielImpf) not with the men,H582 into whose handH3027 they deliveredH5414(QalImpf) the moneyH3701 to be bestowedH5414(QalInf) on workmen:H4399 for they dealtH6213(QalActPtc) faithfully.H530 ^[16] The trespassH817 moneyH3701 and sinH2403 moneyH3701 was not broughtH935(HophImpf) into the houseH1004 of the Lord:H3068 it was the priests’.H3548 ^[17] Then HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 went up,H5927(QalImpf) and foughtH3898(NiphImpf) against Gath,H1661 and tookH3920(QalImpf) it: and HazaelH2371 setH7760(QalImpf) his faceH6440 to go upH5927(QalInf) to Jerusalem.H3389 ^[18] And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH3947(QalImpf) all the hallowed thingsH6944 that Jehoshaphat,H3092 and Jehoram,H3088 and Ahaziah,H274 his fathers,H1 kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 had dedicated,H6942(HiphPerf) and his own hallowed things,H6944 and all the goldH2091 [that was] foundH4672(NiphPtc) in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 and in the king’sH4428 house,H1004 and sentH7971(QalImpf) [it] to HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of Syria:H758 and he went awayH5927(QalImpf) from Jerusalem.H3389 ^[19] And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Joash,H3101 and all that he did,H6213(QalPerf) [are] they not writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of Judah?H3063 ^[20] And his servantsH5650 arose,H6965(QalImpf) and madeH7194(QalImpf) a conspiracy,H7195 and slewH5221(HiphImpf) JoashH3101 in the houseH1004 of Millo,H4407(QK) which goeth downH3381(QalActPtc) to Silla.H5538 ^[21] For JozacharH3108 the sonH1121 of Shimeath,H8100 and JehozabadH3075 the sonH1121 of Shomer,H7763 his servants,H5650 smoteH5221(HiphPerf) him, and he died;H4191(QalImpf) and they buriedH6912(QalImpf) him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of David:H1732 and AmaziahH558 his sonH1121 reignedH4427(QalImpf) in his stead.
