1. A son of seven years is Joash in his reigning, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
|
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 H517 's name H8034 also was Zibiah H6645 of Beer H4480 H884 -sheba.
|
|
2. And Joash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
|
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 taketh for him two wives, and he begetteth sons and daughters.
|
3. And Jehoiada H3077 took H5375 for him two H8147 wives H802 ; and he begot H3205 sons H1121 and daughters H1323 .
|
|
4. And it cometh to pass after this, it hath been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of Jehovah,
|
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 gathereth the priests and the Levites, and saith to them, `Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year, and ye, ye do haste to the matter;` and the Levites have not hasted.
|
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 calleth for Jehoiada the head, and saith to him, `Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses, servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?
|
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 sons of Athaliah, the wicked one, have broken up the house of God, and also, all the holy things of the house of Jehovah they have prepared for Baalim.`
|
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 the king speaketh, and they make one chest, and put it at the gate of the house of Jehovah without,
|
8. And at the king H4428 's 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 give an intimation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring in to Jehovah the tribute of Moses, servant of God, laid on Israel in the wilderness.
|
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 the heads, and all the people rejoice, and they bring in, and cast into the chest, unto completion.
|
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. And it cometh to pass, at the time one bringeth in the chest for the inspection of the king by the hand of the Levites, and at their seeing that the money is abundant, that a scribe of the king hath come in, and an officer of the head-priest, and they empty the chest, and take it up and turn it back unto its place; thus they have done day by day, and gather money in abundance.
|
11. Now it came to pass H1961 , that at what time H6256 H853 the chest H727 was brought H935 unto H413 the king H4428 's 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 H4428 's scribe H5608 and the high H7218 priest H3548 's 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 and Jehoiada give it unto the doers of the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they are hiring hewers and artificers to renew the house of Jehovah, and also -- to artificers in iron and brass to strengthen the house of Jehovah.
|
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. And those doing the business work, and there goeth up lengthening to the work by their hand, and they establish the house of God, by its proper measure, and strengthen it.
|
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 at their completing it, they have brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the money, and they make it vessels for the house of Jehovah, vessels of serving, and of offering up, and spoons, even vessels of gold and silver; and they are causing burnt-offerings to ascend in the house of Jehovah continually, all the days of Jehoiada.
|
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. And Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dieth -- a son of a hundred and thirty years in his death,
|
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 bury him in the city of David, with the kings, for he hath done good in Israel, and with God, and his house.
|
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. And after the death of Jehoiada come in have heads of Judah, and bow themselves to the king; then hath the king hearkened unto them,
|
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 forsake the house of Jehovah, God of their fathers, and serve the shrines and the idols, and there is wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.
|
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. And He sendeth among them prophets, to bring them back unto Jehovah, and they testify against them, and they have not given ear;
|
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 of God hath clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he standeth over-against the people, and saith to them, `Thus said God, Why are ye transgressing the commands of Jehovah, and prosper not? because ye have forsaken Jehovah -- He doth forsake you.`
|
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 conspire against him, and stone him with stones by the command of the king, in the court of the house of Jehovah,
|
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. and Joash the king hath not remembered the kindness that Jehoiada his father did with him, and slayeth his son, and in his death he said, `Jehovah doth see, and require.`
|
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 cometh to pass, at the turn of the year, come up hath the force of Aram against him, and they come in unto Judah and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the people, and all their spoil they have sent to the king of Damascus,
|
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 with few men have the force of Aram come in, and Jehovah hath given into their hand a mighty force for multitude, because they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers; and with Joash they have executed judgments.
|
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 in their going from him -- for they left him with many diseases -- his servants themselves have conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dieth; and they bury him in the city of David, and have not buried him in the graves of the kings.
|
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 are those conspiring against him, Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
|
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. As to his sons, and the greatness of the burden upon him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo, they are written on the `Inquiry` of the book of the Kings; and reign doth Amaziah his son in his stead.
|
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 .
