King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Joash[H3101] was seven[H7651] years[H8141] old[H1121] when he began to reign,[H4427] and he reigned[H4427] forty[H705] years[H8141] in Jerusalem.[H3389] His mother's[H517] name[H8034] also was Zibiah[H6645] of Beer-sheba.[H4480] [H884]

2. And Joash[H3077] did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] all[H3605] the days[H3117] of Jehoiada[H3077] the priest.[H3548]

3. And Jehoiada[H3077] took[H5375] for him two[H8147] wives;[H802] and he begot[H3205] sons[H1121] and daughters.[H1323]

4. And it came to pass[H1961] after[H310] this,[H3651] that Joash[H3101] was[H1961] minded[H5973] [H3820] to repair[H2318] [H853] the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

5. And he gathered together[H6908] [H853] the priests[H3548] and the Levites,[H3881] and said[H559] to them, Go out[H3318] unto the cities[H5892] of Judah,[H3063] and gather[H6908] of all[H4480] [H3605] Israel[H3478] money[H3701] to repair[H2388] [H853] the house[H1004] of your God[H430] from[H4480] [H1767] year[H8141] to year,[H8141] and see that ye[H859] hasten[H4116] the matter.[H1697] Howbeit the Levites[H3881] hastened[H4116] it not.[H3808]

6. And the king[H4428] called[H7121] for Jehoiada[H3077] the chief,[H7218] and said[H559] unto him, Why[H4069] hast thou not[H3808] required[H1875] of[H5921] the Levites[H3881] to bring in[H935] out of Judah[H4480] [H3063] and out of Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] [H853] the collection,[H4864] according to the commandment of Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of the LORD,[H3068] and of the congregation[H6951] of Israel,[H3478] for the tabernacle[H168] of witness?[H5715]

7. For[H3588] the sons[H1121] of Athaliah,[H6271] that wicked woman,[H4849] had broken up[H6555] [H853] the house[H1004] of God;[H430] and also[H1571] all[H3605] the dedicated things[H6944] of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] did they bestow[H6213] upon Baalim.[H1168]

8. And at the king's[H4428] commandment[H559] they made[H6213] a[H259] chest,[H727] and set[H5414] it without[H2351] at the gate[H8179] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

9. And they made[H5414] a proclamation[H6963] through Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem,[H3389] to bring in[H935] to the LORD[H3068] the collection[H4864] that Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of God[H430] laid upon[H5921] Israel[H3478] in the wilderness.[H4057]

10. And all[H3605] the princes[H8269] and all[H3605] the people[H5971] rejoiced,[H8055] and brought in,[H935] and cast[H7993] into the chest,[H727] until[H5704] they had made an end.[H3615]

11. Now it came to pass,[H1961] that at what time[H6256] [H853] the chest[H727] was brought[H935] unto[H413] the king's[H4428] office[H6486] by the hand[H3027] of the Levites,[H3881] and when they saw[H7200] that[H3588] there was much[H7227] money,[H3701] the king's[H4428] scribe[H5608] and the high[H7218] priest's[H3548] officer[H6496] came[H935] and emptied[H6168] [H853] the chest,[H727] and took[H5375] it, and carried[H7725] it to[H413] his place[H4725] again. Thus[H3541] they did[H6213] day[H3117] by day,[H3117] and gathered[H622] money[H3701] in abundance.[H7230]

12. And the king[H4428] and Jehoiada[H3077] gave[H5414] it to[H413] such as did[H6213] the work[H4399] of the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and hired[H1961] [H7936] masons[H2672] and carpenters[H2796] to repair[H2318] the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and also[H1571] such as wrought[H2796] iron[H1270] and brass[H5178] to mend[H2388] [H853] the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

13. So the workmen[H6213] [H4399] wrought,[H6213] and the work[H4399] was perfected[H5927] [H724] by[H3027] them, and they set[H5975] [H853] the house[H1004] of God[H430] in[H5921] his state,[H4971] and strengthened[H553] it.

14. And when they had finished[H3615] it, they brought[H935] [H853] the rest[H7605] of the money[H3701] before[H6440] the king[H4428] and Jehoiada,[H3077] whereof were made[H6213] vessels[H3627] for the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] even vessels[H3627] to minister,[H8335] and to offer[H5927] withal, and spoons,[H3709] and vessels[H3627] of gold[H2091] and silver.[H3701] And they offered[H1961] [H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] in the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] continually[H8548] all[H3605] the days[H3117] of Jehoiada.[H3077]

15. But Jehoiada[H3077] waxed old,[H2204] and was full[H7646] of days[H3117] when he died;[H4191] a hundred[H3967] and thirty[H7970] years[H8141] old[H1121] was he when he died.[H4194]

16. And they buried[H6912] him in the city[H5892] of David[H1732] among[H5973] the kings,[H4428] because[H3588] he had done[H6213] good[H2896] in Israel,[H3478] both toward[H5973] God,[H430] and toward his house.[H1004]

17. Now after[H310] the death[H4194] of Jehoiada[H3077] came[H935] the princes[H8269] of Judah,[H3063] and made obeisance[H7812] to the king.[H4428] Then[H227] the king[H4428] hearkened[H8085] unto[H413] them.

18. And they left[H5800] [H853] the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of their fathers,[H1] and served[H5647] [H853] groves[H842] and idols:[H6091] and wrath[H7110] came[H1961] upon[H5921] Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem[H3389] for this[H2063] their trespass.[H819]

19. Yet he sent[H7971] prophets[H5030] to them, to bring them again[H7725] unto[H413] the LORD;[H3068] and they testified[H5749] against them: but they would not[H3808] give ear.[H238]

20. And the Spirit[H7307] of God[H430] came upon[H3847] [H853] Zechariah[H2148] the son[H1121] of Jehoiada[H3077] the priest,[H3548] which stood[H5975] above[H4480] [H5921] the people,[H5971] and said[H559] unto them, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] God,[H430] Why[H4100] transgress[H5674] ye[H859] [H853] the commandments[H4687] of the LORD,[H3068] that ye cannot[H3808] prosper?[H6743] because[H3588] ye have forsaken[H5800] the LORD,[H3068] he hath also forsaken[H5800] [H853] you.

21. And they conspired[H7194] against[H5921] him, and stoned[H7275] him with stones[H68] at the commandment[H4687] of the king[H4428] in the court[H2691] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

22. Thus Joash[H3101] the king[H4428] remembered[H2142] not[H3808] the kindness[H2617] which[H834] Jehoiada[H3077] his father[H1] had done[H6213] to[H5973] him, but slew[H2026] [H853] his son.[H1121] And when he died,[H4191] he said,[H559] The LORD[H3068] look upon[H7200] it, and require[H1875] it.

23. And it came to pass[H1961] at the end[H8622] of the year,[H8141] that the host[H2428] of Syria[H758] came up[H5927] against[H5921] him: and they came[H935] to[H413] Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem,[H3389] and destroyed[H7843] [H853] all[H3605] the princes[H8269] of the people[H5971] from among the people,[H4480] [H5971] and sent[H7971] all[H3605] the spoil[H7998] of them unto the king[H4428] of Damascus.[H1834]

24. For[H3588] the army[H2428] of the Syrians[H758] came[H935] with a small company[H4705] of men,[H376] and the LORD[H3068] delivered[H5414] a very[H3966] great[H7230] host[H2428] into their hand,[H3027] because[H3588] they had forsaken[H5800] [H853] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of their fathers.[H1] So they executed[H6213] judgment[H8201] against[H854] Joash.[H3101]

25. And when they were departed[H1980] from[H4480] him, (for[H3588] they left[H5800] him in great[H7227] diseases,)[H4251] his own servants[H5650] conspired[H7194] against[H5921] him for the blood[H1818] of the sons[H1121] of Jehoiada[H3077] the priest,[H3548] and slew[H2026] him on[H5921] his bed,[H4296] and he died:[H4191] and they buried[H6912] him in the city[H5892] of David,[H1732] but they buried[H6912] him not[H3808] in the sepulchers[H6913] of the kings.[H4428]

26. And these[H428] are they that conspired[H7194] against[H5921] him; Zabad[H2066] the son[H1121] of Shimeath[H8100] an Ammonitess,[H5984] and Jehozabad[H3075] the son[H1121] of Shimrith[H8116] a Moabitess.[H4125]

27. Now concerning his sons,[H1121] and the greatness[H7230] of the burdens[H4853] laid upon[H5921] him, and the repairing[H3247] of the house[H1004] of God,[H430] behold,[H2009] they are written[H3789] in[H5921] the story[H4097] of the book[H5612] of the kings.[H4428] And Amaziah[H558] his son[H1121] reigned[H4427] in his stead.[H8478]
