Joash
(Jehoash) Reigns over Judah |
|
|
 |
| 2 Kings 12:1 |
|
In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became
king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah
of Beersheba. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:2 |
|
Jehoash did right in the sight of the LORD
all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:3 |
|
Only the high places were not taken away; the
people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Temple to Be Repaired |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:4 |
|
Then Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money
of the sacred things which is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money,
both the money of each man's assessment and all the money which any man's heart
prompts him to bring into the house of the LORD, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:5 |
|
let the priests take it for themselves, each
from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever
any damage may be found." |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:6 |
|
But it came about that in the twenty-third year
of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damages of the house. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:7 |
|
Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest,
and for the other priests and said to them, "Why do you not repair the damages
of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintances, but pay
it for the damages of the house." |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:8 |
|
So the priests agreed that they would take no
more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the house. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:9 |
|
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored
a hole in its lid and put it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes
into the house of the LORD; and the priests who guarded the threshold put in it
all the money which was brought into the house of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:10 |
|
When they saw that there was much money in the
chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came up and tied it in bags and counted
the money which was found in the house of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:11 |
|
They gave the money which was weighed out into
the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the
LORD; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the
house of the LORD; |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:12 |
|
and to the masons and the stonecutters, and
for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the damages to the house of the LORD,
and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:13 |
|
But there were not made for the house of the
LORD silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of
silver from the money which was brought into the house of the LORD; |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:14 |
|
for they gave that to those who did the work,
and with it they repaired the house of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:15 |
|
Moreover, they did not require an accounting
from the men into whose hand they gave the money to pay to those who did the work,
for they dealt faithfully. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:16 |
|
The money from the guilt offerings and the money
from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was for
the priests. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:17 |
|
Then Hazael king of Aram went up and fought
against Gath and captured it, and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:18 |
|
Jehoash king of Judah took all the sacred things
that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated,
and his own sacred things and all the gold that was found among the treasuries
of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent them to Hazael king
of Aram. Then he went away from Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Joash
(Jehoash) Succeeded by Amaziah in Judah |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:19 |
|
Now the rest of the acts of Joash and all that
he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:20 |
|
His servants arose and made a conspiracy and
struck down Joash at the house of Millo as he was going down to Silla. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 12:21 |
|
For Jozacar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad
the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him and he died; and they buried him with
his fathers in the city of David, and Amaziah his son became king in his place. |
