Chapter 24
Ioash
was
seuen
yeeres
old
when
he
beganne
to
reigne;
and
he
reigned
fortie
yeeres
in
Ierusalem:
his
mothers
name
also
was
Zibiah,
of
Beer-sheba.
2
And
Ioash
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
all
the
dayes
of
Iehoiada
the
Priest.
3
And
Iehoiada
tooke
for
him
two
wiues,
and
he
begat
sonnes
and
daughters.
4
And
it
came
to
passe
after
this
that
Ioash
was
minded
to
repaire
the
house
of
the
Lord.
5
And
hee
gathered
together
the
priests
and
the
Leuites,
and
saide
to
them,
Go
out
vnto
the
cities
of
Iudah,
and
gather
of
all
Israel
money
to
repaire
the
house
of
your
God
from
yeere
to
yere,
and
see
that
ye
haste
the
matter:
howbeit
the
Leuites
hastened
it
not.
6
And
the
king
called
for
Iehoiada
the
chiefe,
and
saide
vnto
him,
Why
hast
thou
not
required
of
the
Leuites
to
bring
in
out
of
Iudah
and
out
of
Ierusalem,
the
collection,
according
to
the
commandement
of
Moses
the
seruant
of
the
Lord,
and
of
the
Congregation
of
Israel,
for
the
tabernacle
of
Witnesse?
7
For
the
sonnes
of
Athaliah
that
wicked
woman,
had
broken
vp
the
house
of
God,
and
also
all
the
dedicate
things
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
did
they
bestow
vpon
Baalim.
8
And
at
the
kings
commandement
they
made
a
chest,
and
set
it
without,
at
the
gate
of
the
house
of
the
Lord.
9
And
they
made
a
proclamation
through
Iudah
&
Ierusalem,
to
bring
in
to
the
Lord,
the
collection
that
Moses
the
seruant
of
God
laid
vpon
Israel
in
the
wildernesse.
10
And
all
the
Princes
and
all
the
people
reioyced,
and
brought
in,
and
cast
into
the
chest,
vntill
they
had
made
an
ende.
11
Now
it
came
to
passe
that
at
what
time
the
chest
was
brought
vnto
the
kings
office,
by
the
hand
of
the
Leuites:
and
when
they
sawe
that
there
was
much
money:
the
kings
Scribe,
and
the
high
priests
officer,
came
and
emptied
the
chest,
and
tooke
it,
and
caried
it
to
his
place
againe.
Thus
they
did
day
by
day,
and
gathered
money
in
abundance.
12
And
the
king
and
Iehoiada
gaue
it
to
such
as
did
the
worke
of
the
seruice
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
hired
Masons
and
carpenters
to
repaire
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
also
such
as
wrought
yron
and
brasse
to
mend
the
house
of
the
Lord.
13
So
the
workemen
wrought,
and
the
worke
was
perfected
by
them:
and
they
set
the
house
of
God
in
his
state,
and
strengthened
it.
14
And
when
they
had
finished
it,
they
brought
the
rest
of
the
money
before
the
king
and
Iehoiada,
whereof
were
made
vessels
for
the
house
of
the
Lord,
euen
vessels
to
minister
and
to
offer
withall,
and
spoones,
and
vessels
of
golde
and
siluer:
and
they
offered
burnt
offerings
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
continually,
all
the
dayes
of
Iehoiada.
15
But
Iehoiada
waxed
old,
and
was
full
of
dayes
when
hee
died:
an
hundred
and
thirtie
yeeres
olde
was
hee
when
hee
died.
16
And
they
buried
him
in
the
citie
of
Dauid
among
the
kings,
because
he
had
done
good
in
Israel,
both
towards
God,
and
towards
his
house.
17
Now
after
the
death
of
Iehoiada,
came
the
Princes
of
Iudah,
and
made
obeysance
to
the
king:
then
the
king
hearkened
vnto
them.
18
And
they
left
the
house
of
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers,
and
serued
groues
and
idols:
and
wrath
came
vpon
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
for
this
their
trespasse.
19
Yet
hee
sent
prophets
to
them
to
bring
them
againe
vnto
the
Lord,
and
they
testified
against
them:
but
they
would
not
giue
eare.
20
And
the
spirit
of
God
came
vpon
Zechariah
the
sonne
of
Iehoiada
the
priest,
which
stood
aboue
the
people,
and
said
vnto
them:
Thus
saith
God,
Why
transgresse
yee
the
commandements
of
the
Lord,
that
yee
cannot
prosper?
Because
yee
haue
forsaken
the
Lord,
he
hath
also
forsaken
you.
21
And
they
conspired
against
him,
and
stoned
him
with
stones
at
the
commandement
of
the
king,
in
the
court
of
the
house
of
the
Lord.
22
Thus
Ioash
the
king
remembred
not
the
kindnesse
which
Iehoiada
his
father
had
done
to
him,
but
slew
his
sonne:
and
when
he
died,
he
said,
The
Lord
looke
vpon
it,
and
require
it.
23
And
it
came
to
passe
at
the
end
of
the
yeere,
that
the
hoste
of
Syria
came
vp
against
him:
and
they
came
to
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
and
destroyed
all
the
Princes
of
the
people
from
among
the
people,
and
sent
all
the
spoile
of
them
vnto
the
king
of
Damascus.
24
For
the
armie
of
the
Syrians
came
with
a
small
companie
of
men,
and
the
Lord
deliuered
a
very
great
hoste
into
their
hand,
because
they
had
forsaken
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers:
so
they
executed
iudgement
against
Ioash.
25
And
when
they
were
departed
from
him
(for
they
left
him
in
great
diseases)
his
owne
seruants
conspired
against
him,
for
the
blood
of
the
sonnes
of
Iehoiada
the
Priest,
and
slewe
him
on
his
bed,
and
he
died:
and
they
buried
him
in
the
citie
of
Dauid,
but
they
buried
him
not
in
the
sepulchres
of
the
Kings.
26
And
these
are
they
that
conspired
against
him;
Zabad
the
sonne
of
Shimeah
an
Ammonitesse,
and
Iehozabad
the
sonne
of
Shimrith
a
Moabitesse.
27
Now
concerning
his
sonnes,
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
burdens
laide
vpon
him,
and
the
repairing
of
the
house
of
God,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
story
of
the
booke
of
the
Kings.
And
Amaziah
his
sonne
reigned
in
his
stead.
