1	In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign# ; and forty years reigned# he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
			2	And Jehoash did# that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed# him.
			3	But the high places were not taken away# : the people still sacrificed# and burnt incense# in the high places.
			4	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, [dedicated things: or, holy things: Heb. holinesses] [that every...: Heb. of the souls of his estimation] [cometh...: Heb. ascendeth upon the heart of a man]
			5	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# .
			6	But it was so, that in the three# and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired# the breaches of the house. [three...: Heb. twentieth year and third year]
			7	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.
			8	And the priests consented# to receive# no more money of the people, neither to repair# the breaches of the house.
			9	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. [door: Heb. threshold]
			10	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. [scribe: or, secretary] [put...: Heb. bound up]
			11	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, [laid...: Heb. brought it forth]
			12	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 . [was...: Heb. went forth]
			13	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:
			14	But they gave# that to the workmen# # , and repaired# therewith the house of the LORD.
			15	Moreover they reckoned# not with the men, into whose hand they delivered# the money to be bestowed# on workmen: for they dealt# faithfully.
			16	The trespass money and sin money was not brought# into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.
			17	Then Hazael king of Syria went up# , and fought# against Gath, and took# it: and Hazael set# his face to go up# to Jerusalem.
			18	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. [went...: Heb. went up]
			19	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?
			20	And his servants arose# , and made# a conspiracy, and slew# Joash in the house of Millo# # , which goeth down# to Silla. [the house...: or, Bethmillo]
			21	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.
