In the seventh{H7651} year{H8141} of Jehu{H3058} began Jehoash{H3060} to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} forty{H705} years{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Zibiah{H6645} of Beer-sheba.{H884}

And Jehoash{H3060} did{H6213} that which was right{H3477} in the eyes{H5869} of Jehovah{H3068} all his days{H3117} wherein Jehoiada{H3077} the priest{H3548} instructed{H3384} him.

Howbeit the high places{H1116} were not taken away;{H5493} the people{H5971} still sacrificed{H2076} and burnt incense{H6999} in the high places.{H1116}

And Jehoash{H3060} said{H559} to the priests,{H3548} All the money{H3701} of the hallowed things{H6944} that is brought{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} in current{H5674} money,{H3701} the money{H3701} of the persons{H376} for whom each man{H5315} is rated,{H6187} and all the money{H3701} that it cometh{H5927} into any man's{H376} heart{H3820} to bring{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068}

let the priests{H3548} take{H3947} it to them, every man{H376} from his acquaintance;{H4378} and they shall repair{H2388} the breaches{H919} of the house,{H1004} wheresoever any breach{H919} shall be found.{H4672}

But it was so, that in the three{H7969} and twentieth{H6242} year{H8141} of king{H4428} Jehoash{H3060} the priests{H3548} had not repaired{H2388} the breaches{H919} of the house.{H1004}

Then king{H4428} Jehoash{H3060} called{H7121} for Jehoiada{H3077} the priest,{H3548} and for the [other] priests,{H3548} and said{H559} unto them, Why repair{H2388} ye not the breaches{H919} of the house?{H1004} now therefore take{H3947} no [more] money{H3701} from your acquaintance,{H4378} but deliver{H5414} it for the breaches{H919} of the house.{H1004}

And the priests{H3548} consented{H225} that they should take{H3947} no{H1115} [more] money{H3701} from the people,{H5971} neither{H1115} repair{H2388} the breaches{H919} of the house.{H1004}

But Jehoiada{H3077} the priest{H3548} took{H3947} a{H259} chest,{H727} and bored{H5344} a hole{H2356} in the lid{H1817} of it, and set{H5414} it beside{H681} the altar,{H4196} on the right side{H3225} as one{H376} cometh{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah:{H3068} and the priests{H3548} that kept{H8104} the threshold{H5592} put{H5414} therein all the money{H3701} that was brought{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And it was so, when they saw{H7200} that there was much{H7227} money{H3701} in the chest,{H727} that the king's{H4428} scribe{H5608} and the high{H1419} priest{H3548} came up,{H5927} and they put up in bags{H6696} and counted{H4487} the money{H3701} that was found{H4672} in the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And they gave{H5414} the money{H3701} that was weighed{H8505} out into the hands{H3027} of them that did{H6213} the work,{H4399} that had the oversight{H6485} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah:{H3068} and they paid it out{H3318} to the carpenters{H2796} and the builders,{H1129} that wrought{H6213} upon the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068}

and to the masons{H1443} and the hewers{H2672} of stone,{H68} and for buying{H7069} timber{H6086} and hewn{H4274} stone{H68} to repair{H2388} the breaches{H919} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and for all that was laid out{H3318} for the house{H1004} to repair{H2394} it.

But there were not made{H6213} for the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} cups{H5592} of silver,{H3701} snuffers,{H4212} basins,{H4219} trumpets,{H2689} any vessels{H3627} of gold,{H2091} or vessels{H3627} of silver,{H3701} of the money{H3701} that was brought{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah;{H3068}

for they gave{H5414} that to them that did the work,{H4399} and repaired{H2388} therewith the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}

Moreover they reckoned{H2803} not with the men,{H582} into whose hand{H3027} they delivered{H5414} the money{H3701} to give{H5414} to them that did the work;{H4399} for they dealt{H6213} faithfully.{H530}

The money{H3701} for the trespass-offerings,{H817} and the money{H3701} for the sin-offerings,{H2403} was not brought{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah:{H3068} it was the priests'.{H3548}

Then Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria{H758} went up,{H5927} and fought{H3898} against Gath,{H1661} and took{H3920} it; and Hazael{H2371} set{H7760} his face{H6440} to go up{H5927} to Jerusalem.{H3389}

And Jehoash{H3060} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} took{H3947} all the hallowed things{H6944} that Jehoshaphat{H3092} and Jehoram{H3088} and Ahaziah,{H274} his fathers,{H1} kings{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} had dedicated,{H6942} and his own hallowed things,{H6944} and all the gold{H2091} that was found{H4672} in the treasures{H214} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and of the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} and sent{H7971} it to Hazael{H2371} king{H4428} of Syria:{H758} and he went away{H5927} from Jerusalem.{H3389}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Joash,{H3101} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}

And his servants{H5650} arose,{H6965} and made{H7194} a conspiracy,{H7195} and smote{H5221} Joash{H3101} at the house{H1004} of Millo,{H4407} [on the way] that goeth down{H3381} to Silla.{H5538}

For Jozacar{H3108} the son{H1121} of Shimeath,{H8100} and Jehozabad{H3075} the son{H1121} of Shomer,{H7763} his servants,{H5650} smote{H5221} him, and he died;{H4191} and they buried{H6912} him with his fathers{H1} in the city{H5892} of David:{H1732} and Amaziah{H558} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
