In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign ;
and forty #
arba #
iym #
years reigned he in Jerusalem .
And his mothers name was Zibiah of Beersheba B @#
er .
*
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him .
*
But the high places were not taken away :
the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places .
*
And Jehoash said to the priests ,
All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD ,
even the money of every one that passeth the account ,
the money that every man is set at ,
and all the money that cometh into any mans heart to bring into the house of the LORD ,
*
Let the priests take it to them ,
every man of his acquaintance :
and let them repair the breaches of the house ,
wheresoever any breach shall be found .
*
But it was so ,
that in the three shalowsh #
and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house .
*
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest ,
and the other priests ,
and said unto them ,
Why repair ye not the breaches of the house ?
now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance ,
but delivr it for the breaches of the house .
*
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people ,
neither to repair the breaches of the house .
*
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest ,
and bored a hole in the lid of it ,
and set it beside the altar ,
on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD :
and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD .
*
And it was so ,
when they saw that there was much money in the chest ,
that the kings scribe and the high priest came up ,
and they put up in bags ,
and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD .
*
And they gave the money ,
being told ,
into the hands of them that did the work m @

kah #,
that had the oversight (
8675 )
of the house of the LORD :
and they laid it out to the carpenters charash #
and builders ,
that wrought upon the house of the LORD ,
*
And to masons ,
and hewers of stone ,
and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD ,
and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it .
*
Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver ,
snuffers ,
basons ,
trumpets ,
any vessels of gold ,
or vessels of silver ,
of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD :
*
But they gave that to the workmen #
H6213 ,
and repaired therewith the house of the LORD .
*
Moreover they reckoned not with the men ,
into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen m @
la #

for they dealt faithfully .
*
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD :
it was the priests .
*
Then Hazael king of Syria went up ,
and fought against Gath ,
and took it :
and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem .
*
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat ,
and Jehoram ,
and Ahaziah ,
his fathers ,
kings of Judah ,
had dedicated ,
and his own hallowed things ,
and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD ,
and in the kings house ,
and sent it to Hazael king of Syria :
and he went away from Jerusalem .
*
And the rest of the acts of Joash Yow #
ash #,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar #
of the kings of Judah ?
*
And his servants arose ,
and made a conspiracy ,
and slew Joash in the house of Millo Beyth ,
which goeth down to Silla .

For Jozachar the son of Shimeath Shim #
ath #,
and Jehozabad the son of Shomer ,
his servants ,
smote him ,
and he died ;
and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David :
and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead .
