12:1 In the seventh 7651 year 8141 of Jehu 3058 Jehoash 3060 began to reign 4427 8804; and forty 705 years 8141 reigned 4427 8804 he in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Zibiah 6645 of Beersheba 884.

12:2 And Jehoash 3060 did 6213 8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 all his days 3117 wherein Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 instructed 3384 8689 him.

12:3 But the high places 1116 were not taken away 5493 8804: the people 5971 still sacrificed 2076 8764 and burnt incense 6999 8764 in the high places 1116.

12:4 And Jehoash 3060 said 559 8799 to the priests 3548, All the money 3701 of the dedicated things 6944 that is brought 935 8714 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, [even] the money 3701 of every one 376 that passeth 5674 8802 [the account], the money 3701 that every man 5315 is set at 6187, [and] all the money 3701 that cometh 5927 8799 into any man's 376 heart 3820 to bring 935 8687 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068,(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)

12:5 Let the priests 3548 take 3947 8799 [it] to them, every man 376 of his acquaintance 4378: and let them repair 2388 8762 the breaches 919 of the house 1004, wheresoever any breach 919 shall be found 4672 8735.

12:6 But it was [so, that] in the three 7969 8141 and twentieth 6242 year 8141 of king 4428 Jehoash 3060 the priests 3548 had not repaired 2388 8765 the breaches 919 of the house 1004.(three…: Heb. twentieth year and third year)

12:7 Then king 4428 Jehoash 3060 called 7121 8799 for Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548, and the [other] priests 3548, and said 559 8799 unto them, Why repair 2388 8764 ye not the breaches 919 of the house 1004? now therefore receive 3947 8799 no [more] money 3701 of your acquaintance 4378, but deliver 5414 8799 it for the breaches 919 of the house 1004.

12:8 And the priests 3548 consented 225 8735 to receive 3947 8800 no 1115 [more] money 3701 of the people 5971, neither 1115 to repair 2388 8763 the breaches 919 of the house 1004.

12:9 But Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 took 3947 8799 a 259 chest 727, and bored 5344 8799 a hole 2356 in the lid 1817 of it, and set 5414 8799 it beside 681 the altar 4196, on the right side 3225 as one 376 cometh 935 8800 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068: and the priests 3548 that kept 8104 8802 the door 5592 put 5414 8804 therein all the money 3701 [that was] brought 935 8716 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.(door: Heb. threshold)

12:10 And it was [so], when they saw 7200 8800 that [there was] much 7227 money 3701 in the chest 727, that the king's 4428 scribe 5608 8802 and the high 1419 priest 3548 came up 5927 8799, and they put up in bags 6696 8799, and told 4487 8799 the money 3701 that was found 4672 8737 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.(scribe: or, secretary)(put…: Heb. bound up)

12:11 And they gave 5414 8804 the money 3701, being told 8505 8794, into the hands 3027 of them that did 6213 8802 the work 4399, that had the oversight 6485 8716 8675 6485 8803 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068: and they laid it out 3318 8686 to the carpenters 2796 6086 and builders 1129 8802, that wrought 6213 8802 upon the house 1004 of the LORD 3068,(laid…: Heb. brought it forth)

12:12 And to masons 1443 8802, and hewers 2672 8802 of stone 68, and to buy 7069 8800 timber 6086 and hewed 4274 stone 68 to repair 2388 8763 the breaches 919 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and for all that was laid out 3318 8799 for the house 1004 to repair 2394 [it].(was…: Heb. went forth)

12:13 Howbeit there were not made 6213 8735 for the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 bowls 5592 of silver 3701, snuffers 4212, basons 4219, trumpets 2689, any vessels 3627 of gold 2091, or vessels 3627 of silver 3701, of the money 3701 [that was] brought 935 8716 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068:

12:14 But they gave 5414 8799 that to the workmen 4399 6213 8802, and repaired 2388 8765 therewith the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

12:15 Moreover they reckoned 2803 8762 not with the men 582, into whose hand 3027 they delivered 5414 8799 the money 3701 to be bestowed 5414 8800 on workmen 4399: for they dealt 6213 8802 faithfully 530.

12:16 The trespass 817 money 3701 and sin 2403 money 3701 was not brought 935 8714 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068: it was the priests' 3548.

12:17 Then Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria 758 went up 5927 8799, and fought 3898 8735 against Gath 1661, and took 3920 8799 it: and Hazael 2371 set 7760 8799 his face 6440 to go up 5927 8800 to Jerusalem 3389.

12:18 And Jehoash 3060 king 4428 of Judah 3063 took 3947 8799 all the hallowed things 6944 that Jehoshaphat 3092, and Jehoram 3088, and Ahaziah 274, his fathers 1, kings 4428 of Judah 3063, had dedicated 6942 8689, and his own hallowed things 6944, and all the gold 2091 [that was] found 4672 8737 in the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and in the king's 4428 house 1004, and sent 7971 8799 [it] to Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria 758: and he went away 5927 8799 from Jerusalem 3389.(went…: Heb. went up)

12:19 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Joash 3101, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

12:20 And his servants 5650 arose 6965 8799, and made 7194 8799 a conspiracy 7195, and slew 5221 8686 Joash 3101 in the house 1004 of Millo 4407 8677 1037, which goeth down 3381 8802 to Silla 5538.(the house…: or, Bethmillo)

12:21 For Jozachar 3108 the son 1121 of Shimeath 8100, and Jehozabad 3075 the son 1121 of Shomer 7763, his servants 5650, smote 5221 8689 him, and he died 4191 8799; and they buried 6912 8799 him with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732: and Amaziah 558 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.
