Joash
was
seven
years
old
when he began to
reign

reigned
forty
years
in
Jerusalem

mothers
name
also was
Zibiah

strkjv@2Chronicles:24:2
@ And
Joash
did
that which was
right
in the
sight
of the
LORD
all the
days
of
Jehoiada
the
priest
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:3
@ And
Jehoiada
took
for him
two
wives
; and he
begat
sons

daughters
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:4
@ And it came to pass
after
this, that
Joash
was
minded
to
repair
the
house
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:5
@ 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.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:6
@ 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
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:7
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:8
@ And at the
kings
commandment
they
made
a
chest
, and
set
it
without
at the
gate
of the
house
of the
L
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:9
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:10
@ And all the
princes
and all the
people
rejoiced
, and brought
in
, and
cast
into the
chest
, until they had made an
end
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:11
@ Now it came to pass, that at what
time
the
chest
was
brought
unto the
kings
office
by the
hand
of the
Levites
, and when they
saw
that there was
much
money
, the
kings
scribe
and the
high
priests
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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:12
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:13
@ So the
workmen
H6213
wrought
, and the
work
was
perfected
by
them
, and they
set
the
house
of
God
in his
state
, and
strengthened
it.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:14
@ 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

offered
burnt
offerings
in the
house
of the
LORD
continually
all the
days
of
Jehoiada
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:15
@ But
Jehoiada
waxed
old
, and was
full
of
days
when he
died
; an
hundred
and
thirty
years
old
was he when he
died
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:16
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:17
@ Now
after
the
death
of
Jehoiada
came
the
princes
of
Judah
, and made
obeisance
to the
king
. Then the
king
hearkened
unto them.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:18
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:19
@ Yet he
sent
prophets
to them, to bring them
again
unto the
LORD
; and they
testified
against them: but they would not give
ear
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:20
@ 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
forsaken
the
LORD
, he hath also
forsaken
you.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:21
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:22
@ 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.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:23
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:24
@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:24:25
@ 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

buried
him not in the
sepulchres
