JoashH3101 was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was ZibiahH6645 of BeershebaH884.
And JoashH3101 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548.
And JehoiadaH3077 tookH5375 for him twoH8147 wivesH802; and he begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And it came to pass afterH310 this, that JoashH3101 was mindedH3820 to repairH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {to repair: Heb. to renew}
And he gathered togetherH6908 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and saidH559 to them, Go outH3318 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and gatherH6908 of all IsraelH3478 moneyH3701 to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of your GodH430 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141, and see that ye hastenH4116 the matterH1697. Howbeit the LevitesH3881 hastenedH4116 it not.
And the kingH4428 calledH7121 for JehoiadaH3077 the chiefH7218, and saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou not requiredH1875 of the LevitesH3881 to bring inH935 out of JudahH3063 and out of JerusalemH3389 the collectionH4864, according to the commandment of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, and of the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, for the tabernacleH168 of witnessH5715?
For the sonsH1121 of AthaliahH6271, that wickedH4849 woman, had broken upH6555 the houseH1004 of GodH430; and also all the dedicated thingsH6944 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 did they bestowH6213 upon BaalimH1168.
And at the king'sH4428 commandmentH559 they madeH6213 aH259 chestH727, and setH5414 it withoutH2351 at the gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they madeH5414 a proclamationH6963 through JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, to bring inH935 to the LORDH3068 the collectionH4864 that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 laid upon IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057. {a proclamation: Heb. a voice}
And all the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, and brought inH935, and castH7993 into the chestH727, until they had made an endH3615.
Now it came to pass, that at what timeH6256 the chestH727 was broughtH935 unto the king'sH4428 officeH6486 by the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881, and when they sawH7200 that there was muchH7227 moneyH3701, the king'sH4428 scribeH5608 and the highH7218 priest'sH3548 officerH6496 cameH935 and emptiedH6168 the chestH727, and tookH5375 it, and carriedH7725 it to his placeH4725 againH7725. Thus they didH6213 dayH3117 by dayH3117, and gatheredH622 moneyH3701 in abundanceH7230.
And the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077 gaveH5414 it to such as didH6213 the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and hiredH7936 masonsH2672 and carpentersH2796 to repairH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and also such as wroughtH2796 ironH1270 and brassH5178 to mendH2388 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
So the workmenH4399+H6213 wroughtH6213, and the workH4399 wasH5927 perfectedH724 by themH3027, and they setH5975 the houseH1004 of GodH430 in his stateH4971, and strengthenedH553 it. {the work…: Heb. the healing went up upon the work}
And when they had finishedH3615 it, they broughtH935 the restH7605 of the moneyH3701 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077, whereof were madeH6213 vesselsH3627 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, even vesselsH3627 to ministerH8335, and to offerH5927 withal, and spoonsH3709, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701. And they offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548 all the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077. {to offer…: or, pestils}
But JehoiadaH3077 waxed oldH2204, and was fullH7646 of daysH3117 when he diedH4191; an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he diedH4194.
And they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 among the kingsH4428, because he had doneH6213 goodH2896 in IsraelH3478, both toward GodH430, and toward his houseH1004.
Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoiadaH3077 cameH935 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and made obeisanceH7812 to the kingH4428. Then the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 unto them.
And they leftH5800 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and servedH5647 grovesH842 and idolsH6091: and wrathH7110 came upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for this their trespassH819.
Yet he sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them, to bring them againH7725 unto the LORDH3068; and they testifiedH5749 against them: but they would not give earH238.
And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH3847 upon ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, which stoodH5975 above the peopleH5971, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 GodH430, Why transgressH5674 ye the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, that ye cannot prosperH6743? because ye have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, he hath also forsakenH5800 you. {came…: Heb. clothed}
And they conspiredH7194 against him, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68 at the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 in the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Thus JoashH3101 the kingH4428 rememberedH2142 not the kindnessH2617 which JehoiadaH3077 his fatherH1 had doneH6213 to him, but slewH2026 his sonH1121. And when he diedH4194, he saidH559, The LORDH3068 lookH7200 upon it, and requireH1875 it.
And it came to pass at the endH8622 of the yearH8141, that the hostH2428 of SyriaH758 came upH5927 against him: and they cameH935 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and destroyedH7843 all the princesH8269 of the peopleH5971 from among the peopleH5971, and sentH7971 all the spoilH7998 of them unto the kingH4428 of DamascusH1834. {at the…: Heb. in the revolution of the year} {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
For the armyH2428 of the SyriansH758 cameH935 with a smallH4705 company of menH582, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 a veryH3966 greatH7230 hostH2428 into their handH3027, because they had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. So they executedH6213 judgmentH8201 against JoashH3101.
And when they were departedH3212 from him, (for they leftH5800 him in greatH7227 diseasesH4251,) his own servantsH5650 conspiredH7194 against him for the bloodH1818 of the sonsH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and slewH2026 him on his bedH4296, and he diedH4191: and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but they buriedH6912 him not in the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428.
And these are they that conspiredH7194 against him; ZabadH2066 the sonH1121 of ShimeathH8100 an AmmonitessH5985, and JehozabadH3075 the sonH1121 of ShimrithH8116 a MoabitessH4125. {Zabad: or, Jozacher} {Shimrith: or, Shomer}
Now concerning his sonsH1121, and the greatnessH7235+H7230 of the burdensH4853 laid upon him, and the repairingH3247 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the storyH4097 of the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428. And AmaziahH558 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {repairing: Heb. founding} {story: or, commentary}

And it came to pass afterH310 this, that JoashH3101 was mindedH3820 to repairH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {to repair: Heb. to renew}
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the seerH2374 went outH3318 to meetH6440 him, and saidH559 to kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Shouldest thou helpH5826 the ungodlyH7563, and loveH157 them that hateH8130 the LORDH3068? thereforeH2063 is wrathH7110 upon thee from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
But hast walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and hast made JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to go a whoringH2181, like to the whoredomsH2181 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and also hast slainH2026 thy brethrenH251 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, which were betterH2896 than thyself:
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
For he builtH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH3169 his fatherH1 had broken downH5422, and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalimH1168, and madeH6213 grovesH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. {he built…: Heb. he returned and built}
Also he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 shall my nameH8034 be for everH5769.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he causedH5674 his childrenH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011: also he observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and used witchcraftH3784, and dealtH6213 with a familiar spiritH178, and with wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a carved imageH6459, the idolH5566 which he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of which GodH430 had saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 before all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5865:
Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189+H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. {trouble: Heb. commotion}
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
But HezekiahH3169 rendered not againH7725 according to the benefitH1576 done unto him; for his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361: therefore there was wrathH7110 upon him, and upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
But hast doneH6213 evilH7489 above all that were beforeH6440 thee: for thou hast goneH3212 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provoke me to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458:
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
For they also builtH1129 them high placesH1116, and imagesH4676, and grovesH842, on every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086. {images: or, standing images, or, statues}
They choseH977 newH2319 godsH430; then was warH3901 in the gatesH8179: was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?
And againH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496 DavidH1732 against them to sayH559, GoH3212, numberH4487 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 were like them that removeH5253 the boundH1366: therefore I will pour outH8210 my wrathH5678 upon them like waterH4325.
EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgmentH4941, because he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandmentH6673.
For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.
I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon JudahH3063, and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and I will cut offH3772 the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from this placeH4725, and the nameH8034 of the ChemarimsH3649 with the priestsH3548;
And them that worshipH7812 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 upon the housetopsH1406; and them that worshipH7812 and that swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and that swearH7650 by MalchamH4428; {by the…: or, to the LORD}
And them that are turned backH5472 fromH310 the LORDH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245 the LORDH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for him.
