Dual Panel1In the seventh <07651> year <08141> of Jehu <03058> Jehoash <03060> began to reign <04427> (8804)_; and forty <0705> years <08141> reigned <04427> (8804) he in Jerusalem <03389>_. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> [was] Zibiah <06645> of Beersheba <0884>_.
2And Jehoash <03060> did <06213> (8799) [that which was] right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> all his days <03117> wherein Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> instructed <03384> (8689) him.
3But the high places <01116> were not taken away <05493> (8804)_: the people <05971> still sacrificed <02076> (8764) and burnt incense <06999> (8764) in the high places <01116>_.
4And Jehoash <03060> said <0559> (8799) to the priests <03548>_, All the money <03701> of the dedicated things <06944> that is brought <0935> (8714) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, [even] the money <03701> of every one <0376> that passeth <05674> (8802) [the account], the money <03701> that every man <05315> is set at <06187>_, [and] all the money <03701> that cometh <05927> (8799) into any man's <0376> heart <03820> to bring <0935> (8687) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, {dedicated things: or, holy things: Heb. holinesses} {that every...: Heb. of the souls of his estimation} {cometh...: Heb. ascendeth upon the heart of a man}
5Let the priests <03548> take <03947> (8799) [it] to them, every man <0376> of his acquaintance <04378>_: and let them repair <02388> (8762) the breaches <0919> of the house <01004>_, wheresoever any breach <0919> shall be found <04672> (8735)_.
6But it was [so, that] in the three <07969> <08141> and twentieth <06242> year <08141> of king <04428> Jehoash <03060> the priests <03548> had not repaired <02388> (8765) the breaches <0919> of the house <01004>_. {three...: Heb. twentieth year and third year}
7Then king <04428> Jehoash <03060> called <07121> (8799) for Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>_, and the [other] priests <03548>_, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Why repair <02388> (8764) ye not the breaches <0919> of the house <01004>_? now therefore receive <03947> (8799) no [more] money <03701> of your acquaintance <04378>_, but deliver <05414> (8799) it for the breaches <0919> of the house <01004>_.
8And the priests <03548> consented <0225> (8735) to receive <03947> (8800) no <01115> [more] money <03701> of the people <05971>_, neither <01115> to repair <02388> (8763) the breaches <0919> of the house <01004>_.
9But Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> took <03947> (8799) a <0259> chest <0727>_, and bored <05344> (8799) a hole <02356> in the lid <01817> of it, and set <05414> (8799) it beside <0681> the altar <04196>_, on the right side <03225> as one <0376> cometh <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_: and the priests <03548> that kept <08104> (8802) the door <05592> put <05414> (8804) therein all the money <03701> [that was] brought <0935> (8716) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_. {door: Heb. threshold}
10And it was [so], when they saw <07200> (8800) that [there was] much <07227> money <03701> in the chest <0727>_, that the king's <04428> scribe <05608> (8802) and the high <01419> priest <03548> came up <05927> (8799)_, and they put up in bags <06696> (8799)_, and told <04487> (8799) the money <03701> that was found <04672> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_. {scribe: or, secretary} {put...: Heb. bound up}
11And they gave <05414> (8804) the money <03701>_, being told <08505> (8794)_, into the hands <03027> of them that did <06213> (8802) the work <04399>_, that had the oversight <06485> (8716) (8675) <06485> (8803) of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_: and they laid it out <03318> (8686) to the carpenters <02796> <06086> and builders <01129> (8802)_, that wrought <06213> (8802) upon the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, {laid...: Heb. brought it forth}
12And to masons <01443> (8802)_, and hewers <02672> (8802) of stone <068>_, and to buy <07069> (8800) timber <06086> and hewed <04274> stone <068> to repair <02388> (8763) the breaches <0919> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and for all that was laid out <03318> (8799) for the house <01004> to repair <02394> [it]. {was...: Heb. went forth}
13Howbeit there were not made <06213> (8735) for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> bowls <05592> of silver <03701>_, snuffers <04212>_, basons <04219>_, trumpets <02689>_, any vessels <03627> of gold <02091>_, or vessels <03627> of silver <03701>_, of the money <03701> [that was] brought <0935> (8716) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_:
14But they gave <05414> (8799) that to the workmen <04399> <06213> (8802)_, and repaired <02388> (8765) therewith the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_.
15Moreover they reckoned <02803> (8762) not with the men <0582>_, into whose hand <03027> they delivered <05414> (8799) the money <03701> to be bestowed <05414> (8800) on workmen <04399>_: for they dealt <06213> (8802) faithfully <0530>_.
16The trespass <0817> money <03701> and sin <02403> money <03701> was not brought <0935> (8714) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_: it was the priests <03548>_'.
17Then Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758> went up <05927> (8799)_, and fought <03898> (8735) against Gath <01661>_, and took <03920> (8799) it: and Hazael <02371> set <07760> (8799) his face <06440> to go up <05927> (8800) to Jerusalem <03389>_.
18And Jehoash <03060> king <04428> of Judah <03063> took <03947> (8799) all the hallowed things <06944> that Jehoshaphat <03092>_, and Jehoram <03088>_, and Ahaziah <0274>_, his fathers <01>_, kings <04428> of Judah <03063>_, had dedicated <06942> (8689)_, and his own hallowed things <06944>_, and all the gold <02091> [that was] found <04672> (8737) in the treasures <0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and in the king's <04428> house <01004>_, and sent <07971> (8799) [it] to Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758>_: and he went away <05927> (8799) from Jerusalem <03389>_. {went...: Heb. went up}
19And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Joash <03101>_, and all that he did <06213> (8804)_, [are] they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>_?
20And his servants <05650> arose <06965> (8799)_, and made <07194> (8799) a conspiracy <07195>_, and slew <05221> (8686) Joash <03101> in the house <01004> of Millo <04407> (8677) <01037>_, which goeth down <03381> (8802) to Silla <05538>_. {the house...: or, Bethmillo}
21For Jozachar <03108> the son <01121> of Shimeath <08100>_, and Jehozabad <03075> the son <01121> of Shomer <07763>_, his servants <05650>_, smote <05221> (8689) him, and he died <04191> (8799)_; and they buried <06912> (8799) him with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>_: and Amaziah <0558> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
