¹ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zibiah from Beersheba. ² Joash did what was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest. ³ Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.	1 Ki2 11:21 Ki2 12:1-15 2 Ch2 26:4 Ch2 26:5
⁴ Now it came about after this that Joash^a Lit was with a heartdecided to restore the house of the LORD. ⁵ He gathered the priests and Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect money from all Israel to^b Lit to strengthenrepair the house of your God^c Lit from year to yearannually, and you shall do the matter quickly.” But the Levites did not act quickly. ⁶ So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the LORD on the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?” ⁷ For the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and even^d Lit madeused the holy things of the house of the LORD for the Baals.	4 Ch2 24:7 5 Ch2 21:2 6 Exo 30:12-16 Num 1:50 7 Ch2 21:17
⁸ So the king commanded, and they made a chest and set it outside by the gate of the house of the LORD. ⁹ They made a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the LORD the levy fixed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness. ¹⁰ All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought in their levies and^e Lit threwdropped them into the chest until they had finished. ¹¹ It came about whenever the chest was brought in to the king’s officer by the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer would come, empty the chest, take it, and return it to its place. Thus they did daily and collected much money. ¹² The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also workers in iron and bronze to^f Lit to strengthenrepair the house of the LORD. ¹³ So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they^g Lit set uprestored the house of God^h Lit upon its proportionaccording to its specifications and strengthened it. ¹⁴ When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and it was made into utensils for the house of the LORD, utensils for the service and the burnt offering, and pans and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.	8 Ki2 12:9 9 Ch2 36:22 Ch2 24:6 11 Ki2 12:10
