KJV_Strong : 2 Kings 12
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-sheba.[H4480] [H884]
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[H2388] [H853] 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.[H8478]
