                                     JOASH




2KI 11:1  And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she
arose and destroyed all the seed royal.  

2KI 11:2  But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took
Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were
slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from
Athaliah, so that he was not slain.  

2KI 11:3  And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And
Athaliah did reign over the land.  

2KI 11:12  And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and
gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they
clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.  

2KI 11:13  And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she
came to the people into the temple of the LORD.  

2KI 11:14  And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the
manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people
of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and
cried, Treason, Treason.  

2KI 11:15  But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the
officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and
him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not
be slain in the house of the LORD.  

2KI 11:16  And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the
horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.  

2KI 11:17  And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the
people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the
people.  

2KI 11:18  And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake
it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew
Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers
over the house of the LORD.  

2KI 11:19  And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the
guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the
house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's
house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.  

2KI 11:20  And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet:
and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.  

2KI 11:21  Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.  

2KI 12:2  And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his
days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.  

2KI 12:4  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,  

2KI 12:5  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.  

2KI 12:6  But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash
the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.  

2KI 12:7  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.  

2KI 12:8  And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people,
neither to repair the breaches of the house.  

2KI 12:9  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.  

2KI 12:10  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.  

2KI 12:11  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,  

2KI 12:12  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.  

2KI 12:13  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:  

2KI 12:14  But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house
of the LORD.  

2KI 12:15  Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they
delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.  

2KI 12:16  The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of
the LORD: it was the priests'.  

2KI 12:17  Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took
it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.  

2KI 12:18  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.  

2KI 12:20  And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the
house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.  

2KI 12:21  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.  

2CH 22:11  But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of
Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him
and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram,
the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him
from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.  

2CH 22:12  And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah
reigned over the land.  

2CH 23:11  Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and
gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed
him, and said, God save the king.  

2CH 23:12  Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising
the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:  

2CH 23:13  And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the
entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of
the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments
of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes,
and said, Treason, Treason.  

2CH 24:1  Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty
years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.  

2CH 24:2  And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the
days of Jehoiada the priest.  

2CH 24:4  And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the
house of the LORD.  

2CH 24:5  And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to
them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair
the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter.
Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.  

2CH 24:6  And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why
hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of
Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of
the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?  

2CH 24:7  For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house
of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they
bestow upon Baalim.  

2CH 24:8  And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at
the gate of the house of the LORD.  

2CH 24:9  And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in
to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the
wilderness.  

2CH 24:10  And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and
cast into the chest, until they had made an end.  

2CH 24:11  Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the
king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much
money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the
chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day,
and gathered money in abundance.  

2CH 24:12  And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the
service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the
house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of
the LORD.  

2CH 24:13  So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they
set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.  

2CH 24:14  And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money
before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the
LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of
gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD
continually all the days of Jehoiada.  

2CH 24:17  Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made
obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.  

2CH 24:18  And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served
groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their
trespass.  

2CH 24:19  Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and
they testified against them: but they would not give ear.  

2CH 24:20  And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the
priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why
transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye
have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.  

2CH 24:21  And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the
commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.  

2CH 24:22  Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his
father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD
look upon it, and require it.  

2CH 24:23  And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria
came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the
princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto
the king of Damascus.  

2CH 24:24  For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the
LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the
LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.  

2CH 24:25  And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great
diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of
Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him
in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.  

2CH 24:26  And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of
Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.  

2CH 24:27  Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon
him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the
story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.  

MAT 23:35  That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,
from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,
whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
