Book 12 : 2 KINGS - Chapter 012
012:001
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD
all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him
012:002
But the high places were not taken away: the people still
sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places
012:003
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the
dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD,
even the money of every one that passeth the account, the
money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh
into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD
012:004
Let the priests take it to them, every man of his
acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house,
wheresoever any breach shall be found
012:005
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king
Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the
house
012:006
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the
other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the
breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of
your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the
house
012:007
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the
people, neither to repair the breaches of the house
012:008
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the
lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as
one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that
kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into
the house of the LORD
012:009
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the
chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and
they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the
house of the LORD
012:010
And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them
that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the
LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders,
that wrought upon the house of the LORD
012:011
And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and
hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD,
and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it
012:012
Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of
silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or
vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the
house of the LORD
012:013
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the
house of the LORD
012:014
Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they
delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt
faithfully
012:015
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the
house of the LORD: it was the priests'
012:016
Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath,
and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem
012:017
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that
Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of
Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the
gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD,
and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria:
and he went away from Jerusalem
012:018
And 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
012:019
And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash
in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla
012:020
For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of
Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried
him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son
reigned in his stead
