In the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JehuH3058 JehoashH3060 began to reignH4427; and fortyH705 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZibiahH6645 of BeershebaH884.
And JehoashH3060 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 all his daysH3117 wherein JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 instructedH3384 him.
But the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493: the peopleH5971 still sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116.
And JehoashH3060 saidH559 to the priestsH3548, All the moneyH3701 of the dedicated thingsH6944 that is broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, even the moneyH3701 of every oneH376 that passethH5674 the account, the moneyH3701 that every manH5315 is set atH6187, and all the moneyH3701 that comethH5927 into any man'sH376 heartH3820 to bringH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, {dedicated things: or, holy things: Heb. holinesses} {that every…: Heb. of the souls of his estimation} {cometh…: Heb. ascendeth upon the heart of a man}
Let the priestsH3548 takeH3947 it to them, every manH376 of his acquaintanceH4378: and let them repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004, wheresoever any breachH919 shall be foundH4672.
But it was so, that in the threeH7969+H8141 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JehoashH3060 the priestsH3548 had not repairedH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004. {three…: Heb. twentieth year and third year}
Then kingH4428 JehoashH3060 calledH7121 for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and the other priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Why repairH2388 ye not the breachesH919 of the houseH1004? now therefore receiveH3947 no more moneyH3701 of your acquaintanceH4378, but deliverH5414 it for the breachesH919 of the houseH1004.
And the priestsH3548 consentedH225 to receiveH3947 noH1115 more moneyH3701 of the peopleH5971, neitherH1115 to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004.
But JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 tookH3947 aH259 chestH727, and boredH5344 a holeH2356 in the lidH1817 of it, and setH5414 it besideH681 the altarH4196, on the right sideH3225 as oneH376 comethH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and the priestsH3548 that keptH8104 the doorH5592 putH5414 therein all the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {door: Heb. threshold}
And it was so, when they sawH7200 that there was muchH7227 moneyH3701 in the chestH727, that the king'sH4428 scribeH5608 and the highH1419 priestH3548 came upH5927, and they put up in bagsH6696, and toldH4487 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {scribe: or, secretary} {put…: Heb. bound up}
And they gaveH5414 the moneyH3701, being toldH8505, into the handsH3027 of them that didH6213 the workH4399, that had the oversightH6485+H6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and they laid it outH3318 to the carpentersH2796+H6086 and buildersH1129, that wroughtH6213 upon the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, {laid…: Heb. brought it forth}
And to masonsH1443, and hewersH2672 of stoneH68, and to buyH7069 timberH6086 and hewedH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for all that was laid outH3318 for the houseH1004 to repairH2394 it. {was…: Heb. went forth}
Howbeit there were not madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 bowlsH5592 of silverH3701, snuffersH4212, basonsH4219, trumpetsH2689, any vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, or vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, of the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
But they gaveH5414 that to the workmenH4399+H6213, and repairedH2388 therewith the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Moreover they reckonedH2803 not with the menH582, into whose handH3027 they deliveredH5414 the moneyH3701 to be bestowedH5414 on workmenH4399: for they dealtH6213 faithfullyH530.
The trespassH817 moneyH3701 and sinH2403 moneyH3701 was not broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: it was the priests'H3548.
Then HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 went upH5927, and foughtH3898 against GathH1661, and tookH3920 it: and HazaelH2371 setH7760 his faceH6440 to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389.
And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 all the hallowed thingsH6944 that JehoshaphatH3092, and JehoramH3088, and AhaziahH274, his fathersH1, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, had dedicatedH6942, and his own hallowed thingsH6944, and all the goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it to HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758: and he went awayH5927 from JerusalemH3389. {went…: Heb. went up}
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoashH3101, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And his servantsH5650 aroseH6965, and madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195, and slewH5221 JoashH3101 in the houseH1004 of MilloH4407+H1037, which goeth downH3381 to SillaH5538. {the house…: or, Bethmillo}
For JozacharH3108 the sonH1121 of ShimeathH8100, and JehozabadH3075 the sonH1121 of ShomerH7763, his servantsH5650, smoteH5221 him, and he diedH4191; and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AmaziahH558 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they couldH3201 not flayH6584 all the burnt offeringsH5930: wherefore their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 did helpH2388 them, till the workH4399 was endedH3615, and until the other priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves: for the LevitesH3881 were more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548. {did help…: Heb. strengthened them}
His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
Yea, they are greedyH5794+H5315 dogsH3611 which canH3045 never haveH3045 enoughH7654, and they are shepherdsH7462 that cannot understandH995: they all lookH6437 to their own wayH1870, every oneH376 for his gainH1215, from his quarterH7097. {greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can…: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
ComeH857 ye, say they, I will fetchH3947 wineH3196, and we will fillH5433 ourselves with strong drinkH7941; and to morrowH4279 shall be as this dayH3117, and muchH3966 moreH3499 abundantH1419.
Who is there even among you that would shutH5462 the doorsH1817 for nought? neither do ye kindleH215 fire on mine altarH4196 for noughtH2600. I have no pleasureH2656 in you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, neither will I acceptH7521 an offeringH4503 at your handH3027.
