- 2 Kgs 11:1-4 : 1 When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed the entire royal family. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and secretly rescued him from among the king's sons who were being put to death, along with his nurse, and hid him in a bedroom. So he was hidden from Athaliah, and he was not killed. 3 For six years, he stayed with her, hiding in the temple of the LORD, while Athaliah ruled over the land. 4 In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards and brought them to him at the temple of the LORD. He made a covenant with them, put them under oath in the temple of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.

- 2 Chr 24:1-9 : 1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah from Beersheba. 2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 3 Jehoiada arranged for Joash to marry two wives, and he fathered sons and daughters. 4 After this, Joash decided to restore the house of the Lord. 5 He gathered the priests and Levites and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah and collect from all Israel money to repair the house of your God annually. Hurry and do this task." But the Levites did not act quickly. 6 So the king summoned Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?" 7 For the wicked Athaliah and her sons had broken into the house of God and had even used all the holy things of the Lord's house for the worship of the Baals. 8 At the king's order, they made a chest and placed it outside at the gate of the house of the Lord. 9 A proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the tax Moses, the servant of God, had imposed on Israel in the wilderness. 10 All the officials and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, dropping them into the chest until it was full. 11 Whenever the chest was brought to the king's steward by the Levites, and they saw there was a large amount of money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came, emptied the chest, and returned it to its place. They did this day after day and collected a great amount of money. 12 The king and Jehoiada gave the money to those who carried out the work of the Lord's temple. They hired stonemasons and carpenters to restore the temple and craftsmen to work with iron and bronze to repair the house of the Lord. 13 The workers diligently carried out their tasks, and the restoration of the temple made steady progress under their hands. They rebuilt the house of God according to its original design and strengthened it. 14 When the work was completed, they brought the remaining silver before the king and Jehoiada, and they used it to make utensils for the house of the Lord, including tools for service, bowls, and other articles of gold and silver. They regularly offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord throughout the days of Jehoiada.
