*
Joas was seven years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem :
and his mother ’
s name was Sabia of Bersabee .
*
And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest .
*
And Jodae took to himself two wives ,
and they bore sons and daughters .
*
And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord .
*
And he gathered the priests and the Levites ,
and said to them ,
Go out into the cities of Juda ,
and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year ,
and make haste to speak of it .
But the Levites hasted not .
*
And king Joas called Jodae the chief ,
and said to him ,
Why hast thou not looked after the Levites ,
so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was (

prescribed by Moses the man of God ,
when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness ?
*
For Gotholia was a transgressor ,
and her sons tore down the house of God ;
for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim .
*
And the king said ,
Let a (

box be made ,
and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without .
*
And let men proclaim in Juda and in Jerusalem ,
that the people should bring to the Lord ,
as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness .
*
And all the princes and all the people gave ,
and brought in ,
and cast into the box until it was filled .
*
And it came to pass ,
when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites ,
and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient ,
then came the king ’
s scribe ,
and the officer of the high priest ,
and emptied the box ,
and restored it to its place .
Thus they did day by day ,
and collected much (

money .
*
And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord ,
and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord ,
also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord .
*
And the workmen wrought ,
and the works prospered in their hands ,
and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation ,
and strengthened it .
*
And when they had finished it ,
they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money ,
and they made vessels for the house of the Lord ,
vessels of service for whole-burnt-offerings ,
and gold and silver censers :
and they offered up whole-burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae .
*
And Jodae grew old ,
being full of days ,
and he died ,
being a hundred and thirty years old at his death .
*
And they buried him with the kings in the city of David ,
because he had dealt well with Israel ,
and with God and his house .
