*
Joash seven years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem .
His mother ’
s name also Zibiah of Beersheba .
*
And Joash did 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 ,
Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD . (

*
And he gathered the priests and the Levites ,
and said to them ,
Go out to the cities of Judah ,
and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year ,
and see that ye hasten the matter .
But the Levites hastened not .
*
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief ,
and said to him ,
Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection ,
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 they bestowed 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 Moses the servant of God upon Israel in the wilderness . (

a proclamation :
Hebrews .
a voice (:

*
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced ,
and brought in ,
and cast into the chest ,
until they had finished .
*
Now it came to pass ,
that at the time the chest was brought to the king ’
s office by the hand of the Levites ,
and when they saw that much money ,
the king ’
s scribe and the high priest ’
s officer came and emptied the chest ,
and took it ,
and carried it to its place again .
Thus they did day by day ,
and assembled 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 order ,
and strengthened it . (

*
And when they had finished ,
they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada ,
of which were made vessels for the house of the LORD ,
vessels to minister ,
and to offer ,
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 . (

to offer …:

But Jehoiada grew old ,
and was full of days when he died ;
an hundred and thirty years old 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 .
