2 Kings 12:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In Jehu's seventh year Jehoash became king; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother was Zibiah, who was from Beer Sheba.
2 Throughout his lifetime Jehoash did what the LORD approved, just as Jehoiada the priest taught him.
3 But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.
4 Jehoash said to the priests, "I place at your disposal all the consecrated silver that has been brought to the LORD's temple, including the silver collected from the census tax, the silver received from those who have made vows, and all the silver that people have voluntarily contributed to the LORD's temple.
5 The priests should receive the silver they need from the treasurers and repair any damage to the temple they discover."
6 By the twenty-third year of King Jehoash's reign the priests had still not repaired the damage to the temple.
7 So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest along with the other priests, and said to them, "Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, take no more silver from your treasurers unless you intend to use it to repair the damage."
8 The priests agreed not to collect silver from the people and relieved themselves of personal responsibility for the temple repairs.
9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and drilled a hole in its lid. He placed it on the right side of the altar near the entrance of the LORD's temple. The priests who guarded the entrance would put into it all the silver brought to the LORD's temple.
10 When they saw the chest was full of silver, the royal secretary and the high priest counted the silver that had been brought to the LORD's temple and bagged it up.
11 They would then hand over the silver that had been weighed to the construction foremen assigned to the LORD's temple. They hired carpenters and builders to work on the LORD's temple,
12 as well as masons and stonecutters. They bought wood and chiseled stone to repair the damage to the LORD's temple and also paid for all the other expenses.
13 The silver brought to the LORD's temple was not used for silver bowls, trimming shears, basins, trumpets, or any kind of gold or silver implements.
14 It was handed over to the foremen who used it to repair the LORD's temple.
15 They did not audit the treasurers who disbursed the funds to the foremen, for they were honest.
16 (The silver collected in conjunction with reparation offerings and sin offerings was not brought to the LORD's temple; it belonged to the priests.)
17 At that time King Hazael of Syria attacked Gath and captured it. Hazael then decided to attack Jerusalem.
18 King Jehoash of Judah collected all the sacred items that his ancestors Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, kings of Judah, had consecrated, as well as his own sacred items and all the gold that could be found in the treasuries of the LORD's temple and the royal palace. He sent it all to King Hazael of Syria, who then withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 The rest of the events of Joash's reign, including all his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.
20 His servants conspired against him and murdered Joash at Beth-Millo, on the road that goes down to Silla.
21 His servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer murdered him. He was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His son Amaziah replaced him as king.
1 In the seventh H7651 year H8141 of Jehu H3058 Jehoash H3060 began to reign; H4427 and forty H705 years H8141 reigned H4427 he in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Zibiah H6645 of Beer H4480 H884 -sheba.
2 And Jehoash H3060 did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 all H3605 his days H3117 wherein H834 Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 instructed H3384 him.
3 But H7535 the high places H1116 were not H3808 taken away: H5493 the people H5971 still H5750 sacrificed H2076 and burnt incense H6999 in the high places. H1116
4 And Jehoash H3060 said H559 to H413 the priests, H3548 All H3605 the money H3701 of the dedicated things H6944 that H834 is brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 even the money H3701 of every one that passeth H5674 the account , the money H3701 that every man H5315 is set at, H6187 and all H3605 the money H3701 that H834 cometh H5927 into H5921 any man's H376 heart H3820 to bring H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068
5 Let the priests H3548 take H3947 it to them , every man H376 of H4480 H854 his acquaintance: H4378 and let them H1992 repair the breaches H919 of the house, H1004 wheresoever H3605 H834 H8033 any breach H919 shall be found. H4672
6 But it was H1961 so, that in the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 year H8141 of king H4428 Jehoash H3060 the priests H3548 had not H3808 repaired H2388 H853 the breaches H919 of the house. H1004
7 Then king H4428 Jehoash H3060 called H7121 for Jehoiada H3077 the priest, H3548 and the other priests, H3548 and said H559 unto H413 them, Why H4069 repair H2388 ye not H369 H853 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 ? now H6258 therefore receive H3947 no H408 more money H3701 of H4480 H854 your acquaintance, H4378 but H3588 deliver H5414 it for the breaches H919 of the house. H1004
8 And the priests H3548 consented H225 to receive H3947 no H1115 more money H3701 of H4480 H854 the people, H5971 neither H1115 to repair H2388 H853 the breaches H919 of the house. H1004
9 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 the LORD: H3068 and the priests H3548 that kept H8104 the door H5592 put H5414 therein H8033 H853 all H3605 the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
10 And it was H1961 so , when they saw H7200 that H3588 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 told H4487 H853 the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
11 And they gave H5414 H853 the money, H3701 being told, H8505 into H5921 the hands H3027 of them that did H6213 the work, H4399 that had the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 and they laid it out H3318 to the carpenters H2796 H6086 and builders, H1129 that wrought H6213 upon the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068
12 And to masons, H1443 and hewers H2672 of stone, H68 and to buy H7069 timber H6086 and hewed H4274 stone H68 to repair H2388 H853 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and for all H3605 that H834 was laid out H3318 for H5921 the house H1004 to repair H2394 it .
13 Howbeit H389 there were not H3808 made H6213 for the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 bowls H5592 of silver, H3701 snuffers, H4212 basins, H4219 trumpets, H2689 any H3605 vessels H3627 of gold, H2091 or vessels H3627 of silver, H3701 of H4480 the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068
14 But H3588 they gave H5414 that to the workmen H6213 H4399 , and repaired H2388 therewith H853 the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
15 Moreover they reckoned H2803 not H3808 with H854 the men, H376 into H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 they delivered H5414 H853 the money H3701 to be bestowed H5414 on workmen H6213 H4399 : for H3588 they H1992 dealt H6213 faithfully. H530
16 The trespass H817 money H3701 and sin H2403 money H3701 was not H3808 brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 it was H1961 the priests. H3548
17 Then H227 Hazael H2371 king H4428 of Syria H758 went up, H5927 and fought H3898 against H5921 Gath, H1661 and took H3920 it : and Hazael H2371 set H7760 his face H6440 to go up H5927 to H5921 Jerusalem. H3389
18 And Jehoash H3060 king H4428 of Judah H3063 took H3947 H853 all H3605 the hallowed things H6944 that H834 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 H3605 the gold H2091 that was found H4672 in the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and in the king's H4428 house, H1004 and sent H7971 it to Hazael H2371 king H4428 of Syria: H758 and he went away H5927 from H4480 H5921 Jerusalem. H3389
19 And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Joash, H3101 and all H3605 that H834 he did, H6213 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 ?
20 And his servants H5650 arose, H6965 and made H7194 a conspiracy, H7195 and slew H5221 H853 Joash H3101 in the house H1004 of Millo, H4407 which goeth down H3381 to Silla. H5538
21 For Jozachar 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 H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Amaziah H558 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead.
