2 Chronicles 24 Text (WEB)
  1. Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
  2. Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
  3. Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.
  4. It happened after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of Yahweh.
  5. He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter." However the Levites didn't do it right away.
  6. The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, "Why haven't you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?"
  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 Yahweh did they bestow on the Baals.
  8. So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Yahweh.
  9. They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
  10. All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
  11. It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
  12. The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Yahweh, and also such as worked iron and brass to repair the house of Yahweh.
  13. So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.
  14. When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Yahweh, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually all the days of Jehoiada.
  15. But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died.
  16. They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
  17. Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
  18. They forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
  19. Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Yahweh; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
  20. The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 'Why do you disobey the commandments of Yahweh, so that you can't prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.'"
  21. They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Yahweh.
  22. Thus Joash the king didn't remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, "May Yahweh look at it, and repay it."
  23. It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians 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 to the king of Damascus.
  24. For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
  25. When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they didn't bury him in the tombs of the kings.
  26. These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
  27. Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] on him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

  1. בן־שבע שנים יאש במלכו וארבעים שנה מלך בירושלם ושם אמו צביה מבאר שבע׃
  2. ויעש יואש הישר בעיני יהוה כל־ימי יהוידע הכהן׃
  3. וישא־לו יהוידע נשים שתים ויולד בנים ובנות׃
  4. ויהי אחריכן היה עם־לב יואש לחדש את־בית יהוה׃
  5. ויקבץ את־הכהנים והלוים ויאמר להם צאו לערי יהודה וקבצו מכל־ישראל כסף לחזק את־בית אלהיכם מדי שנה בשנה ואתם תמהרו לדבר ולא מהרו הלוים׃
  6. ויקרא המלך ליהוידע הראש ויאמר לו מדוע לא־דרשת על־הלוים להביא מיהודה ומירושלם את־משאת משה עבד־יהוה והקהל לישראל לאהל העדות׃
  7. כי עתליהו המרשעת בניה פרצו את־בית האלהים וגם כל־קדשי בית־יהוה עשו לבעלים׃
  8. ויאמר המלך ויעשו ארון אחד ויתנהו בשער בית־יהוה חוצה׃
  9. ויתנו־קול ביהודה ובירושלם להביא ליהוה משאת משה עבד־האלהים על־ישראל במדבר׃
  10. וישמחו כל־השרים וכל־העם ויביאו וישליכו לארון עד־לכלה׃
  11. ויהי בעת יביא את־הארון אל־פקדת המלך ביד הלוים וכראותם כי־רב הכסף ובא סופר המלך ופקיד כהן הראש ויערו את־הארון וישאהו וישיבהו אל־מקמו כה עשו ליום ביום ויאספו־כסף לרב׃
  12. ויתנהו המלך ויהוידע אל־עושה מלאכת עבודת בית־יהוה ויהיו שכרים חצבים וחרשים לחדש בית יהוה וגם לחרשי ברזל ונחשת לחזק את־בית יהוה׃
  13. ויעשו עשי המלאכה ותעל ארוכה למלאכה בידם ויעמידו את־בית האלהים על־מתכנתו ויאמצהו׃
  14. וככלותם הביאו לפני המלך ויהוידע את־שאר הכסף ויעשהו כלים לבית־יהוה כלי שרת והעלות וכפות וכלי זהב וכסף ויהיו מעלים עלות בבית־יהוה תמיד כל ימי יהוידע׃ ף
  15. ויזקן יהוידע וישבע ימים וימת בן־מאה ושלשים שנה במותו׃
  16. ויקברהו בעיר־דויד עם־המלכים כי־עשה טובה בישראל ועם האלהים וביתו׃ ס
  17. ואחרי מות יהוידע באו שרי יהודה וישתחוו למלך אז שמע המלך אליהם׃
  18. ויעזבו את־בית יהוה אלהי אבותיהם ויעבדו את־האשרים ואת־העצבים ויהי־קצף על־יהודה וירושלם באשמתם זאת׃
  19. וישלח בהם נבאים להשיבם אל־יהוה ויעידו בם ולא האזינו׃ ס
  20. ורוח אלהים לבשה את־זכריה בן־יהוידע הכהן ויעמד מעל לעם ויאמר להם כה אמר האלהים למה אתם עברים את־מצות יהוה ולא תצליחו כי־עזבתם את־יהוה ויעזב אתכם׃
  21. ויקשרו עליו וירגמהו אבן במצות המלך בחצר בית יהוה׃
  22. ולא־זכר יואש המלך החסד אשר עשה יהוידע אביו עמו ויהרג את־בנו וכמותו אמר ירא יהוה וידרש׃ ף
  23. ויהי לתקופת השנה עלה עליו חיל ארם ויבאו אל־יהודה וירושלם וישחיתו את־כל־שרי העם מעם וכל־שללם שלחו למלך דרמשק׃
  24. כי במצער אנשים באו חיל ארם ויהוה נתן בידם חיל לרב מאד כי עזבו את־יהוה אלהי אבותיהם ואת־יואש עשו שפטים׃
  25. ובלכתם ממנו כי־עזבו אתו רבים התקשרו עליו עבדיו בדמי בני יהוידע הכהן ויהרגהו על־מטתו וימת ויקברהו בעיר דויד ולא קברהו בקברות המלכים׃ ס
  26. ואלה המתקשרים עליו זבד בן־שמעת העמונית ויהוזבד בן־שמרית המואבית׃
  27. ובניו המשא עליו ויסוד בית האלהים הנם כתובים על־מדרש ספר המלכים וימלך אמציהו בנו תחתיו׃ ף

  1. ων επτα ετων ιωας εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και τεσσαρακοντα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου σαβια εκ
  2. και εποιησεν ιωας το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου πασας τας ημερας ιωδαε του
  3. και ελαβεν αυτω ιωδαε γυναικας δυο και εγεννησεν υιους και
  4. και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και εγενετο επι καρδιαν ιωας επισκευασαι τον οικον
  5. και συνηγαγεν τους ιερεις και τους λευιτας και ειπεν αυτοις εξελθατε εις τας πολεις ιουδα και συναγαγετε απο παντος ισραηλ αργυριον κατισχυσαι τον οικον κυριου ενιαυτον κατ' ενιαυτον και σπευσατε λαλησαι και ουκ εσπευσαν οι
  6. και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς ιωας τον ιωδαε τον αρχοντα και ειπεν αυτω δια τι ουκ επεσκεψω περι των λευιτων του εισενεγκαι απο ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ το κεκριμενον υπο μωυση ανθρωπου του θεου οτε εξεκκλησιασεν τον ισραηλ εις την σκηνην του
  7. οτι γοθολια ην η ανομος και οι υιοι αυτης κατεσπασαν τον οικον του θεου και γαρ τα αγια οικου κυριου εποιησαν ταις
  8. και ειπεν ο βασιλευς γενηθητω γλωσσοκομον και τεθητω εν πυλη οικου κυριου
  9. και κηρυξατωσαν εν ιουδα και εν ιερουσαλημ εισενεγκαι κυριω καθως ειπεν μωυσης παις του θεου επι τον ισραηλ εν τη
  10. και εδωκαν παντες αρχοντες και πας ο λαος και εισεφερον και ενεβαλλον εις το γλωσσοκομον εως ου
  11. και εγενετο ως εισεφερον το γλωσσοκομον προς τους προστατας του βασιλεως δια χειρος των λευιτων και ως ειδον οτι επλεονασεν το αργυριον και ηλθεν ο γραμματευς του βασιλεως και ο προστατης του ιερεως του μεγαλου και εξεκενωσαν το γλωσσοκομον και κατεστησαν εις τον τοπον αυτου ουτως εποιουν ημεραν εξ ημερας και συνηγαγον αργυριον
  12. και εδωκεν αυτο ο βασιλευς και ιωδαε ο ιερευς τοις ποιουσιν τα εργα εις την εργασιαν οικου κυριου και εμισθουντο λατομους και τεκτονας επισκευασαι τον οικον κυριου και χαλκεις σιδηρου και χαλκου επισκευασαι τον οικον
  13. και εποιουν οι ποιουντες τα εργα και ανεβη μηκος των εργων εν χερσιν αυτων και ανεστησαν τον οικον κυριου επι την στασιν αυτου και
  14. και ως συνετελεσαν ηνεγκαν προς τον βασιλεα και προς ιωδαε το καταλοιπον του αργυριου και εποιησαν σκευη εις οικον κυριου σκευη λειτουργικα ολοκαυτωματων και θυισκας χρυσας και αργυρας και ανηνεγκαν ολοκαυτωσεις εν οικω κυριου δια παντος πασας τας ημερας
  15. και εγηρασεν ιωδαε πληρης ημερων και ετελευτησεν ων εκατον και τριακοντα ετων εν τω τελευταν
  16. και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει δαυιδ μετα των βασιλεων οτι εποιησεν αγαθωσυνην μετα ισραηλ και μετα του θεου και του οικου
  17. και εγενετο μετα την τελευτην ιωδαε εισηλθον οι αρχοντες ιουδα και προσεκυνησαν τον βασιλεα τοτε επηκουσεν αυτοις ο
  18. και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων και εδουλευον ταις ασταρταις και τοις ειδωλοις και εγενετο οργη επι ιουδαν και επι ιερουσαλημ εν τη ημερα
  19. και απεστειλεν προς αυτους προφητας επιστρεψαι προς κυριον και ουκ ηκουσαν και διεμαρτυραντο αυτοις και ουκ

2 Chronicles 24 Text (Latin)
  1. Septem annorum erat Joas cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Sebia de Bersabee.
  2. Fecitque quod bonum est coram Domino cunctis diebus Jojadæ sacerdotis.
  3. Accepit autem ei Jojada uxores duas, e quibus genuit filios et filias.
  4. Post quæ placuit Joas ut instauraret domum Domini.
  5. Congregavitque sacerdotes, et Levitas, et dixit eis : Egredimini ad civitates Juda, et colligite de universo Israël pecuniam ad sartatecta templi Dei vestri, per singulos annos, festinatoque hoc facite : porro Levitæ egere negligentius.
  6. Vocavitque rex Jojadam principem, et dixit ei : Quare tibi non fuit curæ, ut cogeres Levitas inferre de Juda et de Jerusalem pecuniam quæ constituta est a Moyse servo Domini, ut inferret eam omnis multitudo Israël in tabernaculum testimonii ?
  7. Athalia enim impiissima, et filii ejus destruxerunt domum Dei, et de universis, quæ sanctificata fuerant in templo Domini, ornaverunt fanum Baalim.
  8. Præcepit ergo rex, et fecerunt arcam : posueruntque eam juxta portam domus Domini forinsecus.
  9. Et prædicatum est in Juda et Jerusalem ut deferrent singuli pretium Domino, quod constituit Moyses servus Dei super omnem Israël in deserto.
  10. Lætatique sunt cuncti principes, et omnis populus : et ingressi contulerunt in arcam Domini, atque miserunt ita ut impleretur.
  11. Cumque tempus esset ut deferrent arcam coram rege per manus Levitarum (videbant enim multam pecuniam), ingrediebatur scriba regis, et quem primus sacerdos constituerat : effundebantque pecuniam quæ erat in arca : porro arcam reportabant ad locum suum : sicque faciebant per singulos dies, et congregata est infinita pecunia,
  12. quam dederunt rex et Jojada his, qui præerant operibus domus Domini : at illi conducebant ex ea cæsores lapidum, et artifices operum singulorum ut instaurarent domum Domini : fabros quoque ferri et æris, ut quod cadere cœperat, fulciretur.
  13. Egeruntque hi qui operabantur industrie, et obducebatur parietum cicatrix per manus eorum, ac suscitaverunt domum Domini in statum pristinum, et firmiter eam stare fecerunt.
  14. Cumque complessent omnia opera, detulerunt coram rege, et Jojada reliquam partem pecuniæ : de qua facta sunt vasa templi in ministerium, et ad holocausta, phialæ quoque, et cetera vasa aurea et argentea : offerebantur holocausta in domo Domini jugiter cunctis diebus Jojadæ.
  15. Senuit autem Jojada plenus dierum, et mortuus est cum esset centum triginta annorum :
  16. sepelieruntque eum in civitate David cum regibus, eo quod fecisset bonum cum Israël, et cum domo ejus.
  17. Postquam autem obiit Jojada, ingressi sunt principes Juda, et adoraverunt regem, qui delinitus obsequiis eorum, acquievit eis.
  18. Et dereliquerunt templum Domini Dei patrum suorum, servieruntque lucis et sculptilibus, et facta est ira contra Judam et Jerusalem propter hoc peccatum.
  19. Mittebatque eis prophetas ut reverterentur ad Dominum, quos protestantes illi audire nolebant.
  20. Spiritus itaque Dei induit Zachariam filium Jojadæ sacerdotem, et stetit in conspectu populi, et dixit eis : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quare transgredimini præceptum Domini, quod vobis non proderit, et dereliquistis Dominum ut derelinqueret vos ?
  21. Qui congregati adversus eum, miserunt lapides juxta regis imperium in atrio domus Domini.
  22. Et non est recordatus Joas rex misericordiæ, quam fecerat Jojada pater illius secum, sed interfecit filium ejus. Qui cum moreretur, ait : Videat Dominus, et requirat.
  23. Cumque evolutus esset annus, ascendit contra eum exercitus Syriæ : venitque in Judam et Jerusalem, et interfecit cunctos principes populi, atque universam prædam miserunt regi in Damascum.
  24. Et certe cum permodicus venisset numerus Syrorum, tradidit Dominus in manibus eorum infinitam multitudinem, eo quod dereliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum : in Joas quoque ignominiosa exercuere judicia.
  25. Et abeuntes dimiserunt eum in languoribus magnis : surrexerunt autem contra eum servi sui in ultionem sanguinis filii Jojadæ sacerdotis, et occiderunt eum in lectulo suo, et mortuus est : sepelieruntque eum in civitate David, sed non in sepulchris regum.
  26. Insidiati vero sunt ei Zabad filius Semaath Ammanitidis, et Jozabad filius Semmarith Moabitidis.
  27. Porro filii ejus, ac summa pecuniæ quæ adunata fuerat sub eo, et instauratio domus Dei, scripta sunt diligentius in libro regum : regnavit autem Amasias filius ejus pro eo.
2 Chronicles 24 Text (KJV)
  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 Beer-sheba.
  2. And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
  3. And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
  4. And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
  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.
  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?
  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.
  8. And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
  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.
  10. And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  15. But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
  16. And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
  17. Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  26. And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
  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.
