But the Levites hastened it not. 6And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Jehovah [laid upon] the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony? 7For the wicked Athaliah [and] her sons had devastated the house ofGod; and also all the hallowed things of the house of Jehovah had they employed for the Baals. 8And the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it at the gate of the house of Jehovah without, 9and they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring to Jehovah the tribute of Moses the servant ofGod [laid upon] Israel in the wilderness. 10And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished. 11And it came to pass at the time the chest was brought for the king's control by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and high priest's officer came, and they emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance. 12And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought in iron and bronze, to repair the house of Jehovah. 13So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house ofGod in its state, and strengthened it. 14And when they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and they made of it vessels for the house of Jehovah, utensils to minister, and with which to offer up, and cups, and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered up burnt-offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada. 15And Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was a hundred and thirty years old when he died. 16And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both towardGod and toward his house. 17And after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and made obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them. 18And they forsook the house of Jehovah theGod of their fathers, and served the Asherahs and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. 19And he sent prophets among them to bring them again to Jehovah, and they testified against them; but they would not give ear. 20And the Spirit ofGod came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood up above the people and said unto them, Thus saithGod: Wherefore do ye transgress the commandments of Jehovah? And ye cannot prosper; for ye have forsaken Jehovah, and he hath forsaken you. 21And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah. 22And king Joash remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah see and require [it]! 23And it came to pass at the end of the year [that] the army of Syria came up against him; and they entered into Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king at Damascus. 24Truly with a small company of men came the army of the Syrians, but Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah theGod of their fathers; and they executed judgment upon Joash. 25And when they had 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 did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings. 26And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. 27And as to his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the building of the house ofGod, behold, they are written in the treatise of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. ‹Previous chapter2 Chronicles 23Next chapter2 Chronicles 25›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions2 Chronicles 24 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
