2 Chronicles 24:1-26

24:1

Joash
<03101>

[was] seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

His mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

also [was] Zibiah
<06645>

of Beersheba
<0884>_.

24:2

And Joash
<03101>

did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

all the days
<03117>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>_.

24:3

And Jehoiada
<03077>

took
<05375> (8799)

for him two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_;

and he begat
<03205> (8686)

sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01323>_.

24:4

And it came to pass after
<0310>

this, [that] Joash
<03101>

was minded
<03820>

to repair
<02318> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{to repair: Heb. to renew}

24:5

And he gathered together
<06908> (8799)

the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to them, Go out
<03318> (8798)

unto the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and gather
<06908> (8798)

of all Israel
<03478>

money
<03701>

to repair
<02388> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of your God
<0430>

from
<01767>

year
<08141>

to year
<08141>_,

and see that ye hasten
<04116> (8762)

the matter
<01697>_.

Howbeit the Levites
<03881>

hastened
<04116> (8765)

[it] not.

24:6

And the king
<04428>

called
<07121> (8799)

for Jehoiada
<03077>

the chief
<07218>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why hast thou not required
<01875> (8804)

of the Levites
<03881>

to bring in
<0935> (8687)

out of Judah
<03063>

and out of Jerusalem
<03389>

the collection
<04864>_,

[according to the commandment] of Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and of the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>_,

for the tabernacle
<0168>

of witness
<05715>_?

24:7

For the sons
<01121>

of Athaliah
<06271>_,

that wicked
<04849>

woman, had broken up
<06555> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_;

and also all the dedicated things
<06944>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

did they bestow
<06213> (8804)

upon Baalim
<01168>_.

24:8

And at the king's
<04428>

commandment
<0559> (8799)

they made
<06213> (8799)

a
<0259>

chest
<0727>_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

it without
<02351>

at the gate
<08179>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

24:9

And they made
<05414> (8799)

a proclamation
<06963>

through Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to bring in
<0935> (8687)

to the LORD
<03068>

the collection
<04864>

[that] Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of God
<0430>

[laid] upon Israel
<03478>

in the wilderness
<04057>_.

{a proclamation: Heb. a voice}

24:10

And all the princes
<08269>

and all the people
<05971>

rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_,

and brought in
<0935> (8686)_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

into the chest
<0727>_,

until they had made an end
<03615> (8763)_.

24:11

Now it came to pass, that at what time
<06256>

the chest
<0727>

was brought
<0935> (8686)

unto the king's
<04428>

office
<06486>

by the hand
<03027>

of the Levites
<03881>_,

and when they saw
<07200> (8800)

that [there was] much
<07227>

money
<03701>_,

the king's
<04428>

scribe
<05608> (8802)

and the high
<07218>

priest's
<03548>

officer
<06496>

came
<0935> (8804)

and emptied
<06168> (8762)

the chest
<0727>_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

it, and carried
<07725> (0)

it to his place
<04725>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

Thus they did
<06213> (8804)

day
<03117>

by day
<03117>_,

and gathered
<0622> (8799)

money
<03701>

in abundance
<07230>_.

24:12

And the king
<04428>

and Jehoiada
<03077>

gave
<05414> (8799)

it to such as did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>

of the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and hired
<07936> (8802)

masons
<02672> (8802)

and carpenters
<02796>

to repair
<02318> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and also such as wrought
<02796>

iron
<01270>

and brass
<05178>

to mend
<02388> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

24:13

So the workmen
<04399> <06213> (8802)

wrought
<06213> (8799)_,

and the work
<04399>

was
<05927> (8799)

perfected
<0724>

by them
<03027>_,

and they set
<05975> (8686)

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

in his state
<04971>_,

and strengthened
<0553> (8762)

it. {the work...: Heb. the healing went up upon the work}

24:14

And when they had finished
<03615> (8763)

[it], they brought
<0935> (8689)

the rest
<07605>

of the money
<03701>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

and Jehoiada
<03077>_,

whereof were made
<06213> (8799)

vessels
<03627>

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[even] vessels
<03627>

to minister
<08335>_,

and to offer
<05927> (8687)

[withal], and spoons
<03709>_,

and vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_.

And they offered
<05927> (8688)

burnt offerings
<05930>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

continually
<08548>

all the days
<03117>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_.

{to offer...: or, pestils}

24:15

But Jehoiada
<03077>

waxed old
<02204> (8799)_,

and was full
<07646> (8799)

of days
<03117>

when he died
<04191> (8799)_;

an hundred
<03967>

and thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

[was he] when he died
<04194>_.

24:16

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

among the kings
<04428>_,

because he had done
<06213> (8804)

good
<02896>

in Israel
<03478>_,

both toward God
<0430>_,

and toward his house
<01004>_.

24:17

Now after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

came
<0935> (8804)

the princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)

to the king
<04428>_.

Then the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto them.

24:18

And they left
<05800> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

groves
<0842>

and idols
<06091>_:

and wrath
<07110>

came upon Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>

for this their trespass
<0819>_.

24:19

Yet he sent
<07971> (8799)

prophets
<05030>

to them, to bring them again
<07725> (8687)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and they testified
<05749> (8686)

against them: but they would not give ear
<0238> (8689)_.

24:20

And the Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

came
<03847> (8804)

upon Zechariah
<02148>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>_,

which stood
<05975> (8799)

above the people
<05971>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

God
<0430>_,

Why transgress
<05674> (8802)

ye the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that ye cannot prosper
<06743> (8686)_?

because ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

he hath also forsaken
<05800> (8799)

you. {came...: Heb. clothed}

24:21

And they conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, and stoned
<07275> (8799)

him with stones
<068>

at the commandment
<04687>

of the king
<04428>

in the court
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

24:22

Thus Joash
<03101>

the king
<04428>

remembered
<02142> (8804)

not the kindness
<02617>

which Jehoiada
<03077>

his father
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)

to him, but slew
<02026> (8799)

his son
<01121>_.

And when he died
<04194>_,

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

The LORD
<03068>

look
<07200> (8799)

upon [it], and require
<01875> (8799)

[it].

24:23

And it came to pass at the end
<08622>

of the year
<08141>_,

[that] the host
<02428>

of Syria
<0758>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against him: and they came
<0935> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and destroyed
<07843> (8686)

all the princes
<08269>

of the people
<05971>

from among the people
<05971>_,

and sent
<07971> (8765)

all the spoil
<07998>

of them unto the king
<04428>

of Damascus
<01834>_.

{at the...: Heb. in the revolution of the year} {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}

24:24

For the army
<02428>

of the Syrians
<0758>

came
<0935> (8804)

with a small
<04705>

company of men
<0582>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8804)

a very
<03966>

great
<07230>

host
<02428>

into their hand
<03027>_,

because they had forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

So they executed
<06213> (8804)

judgment
<08201>

against Joash
<03101>_.

24:25

And when they were departed
<03212> (8800)

from him, (for they left
<05800> (8804)

him in great
<07227>

diseases
<04251>,)

his own servants
<05650>

conspired
<07194> (8694)

against him for the blood
<01818>

of the sons
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

him on his bed
<04296>_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_:

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

but they buried
<06912> (8804)

him not in the sepulchres
<06913>

of the kings
<04428>_.

24:26

And these are they that conspired
<07194> (8693)

against him; Zabad
<02066>

the son
<01121>

of Shimeath
<08100>

an Ammonitess
<05985>_,

and Jehozabad
<03075>

the son
<01121>

of Shimrith
<08116>

a Moabitess
<04125>_.

{Zabad: or, Jozacher} {Shimrith: or, Shomer}
