1In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah; she was from Beer-sheba.1בִּשְׁנַת־ שֶׁ֤בַע לְיֵהוּא֙ מָלַ֣ךְ יְהוֹאָ֔שׁ וְאַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ צִבְיָ֖ה מִבְּאֵ֥ר שָֽׁבַע׃
2Throughout the time the priest Jehoiada instructed him, Joash did what was right in the LORD's sight.2וַיַּ֨עַשׂ יְהוֹאָ֧שׁ הַיָּשָׁ֛ר בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה כָּל־ יָמָ֑יו אֲשֶׁ֣ר הוֹרָ֔הוּ יְהוֹיָדָ֖ע הַכֹּהֵֽן׃
3Yet the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.3רַ֥ק הַבָּמ֖וֹת לֹא־ סָ֑רוּ ע֥וֹד הָעָ֛ם מְזַבְּחִ֥ים וּֽמְקַטְּרִ֖ים בַּבָּמֽוֹת׃
4Then Joash said to the priests, "All the dedicated silver brought to the LORD's temple, census silver, silver from vows, and all silver voluntarily given for the LORD's temple--4וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוֹאָ֜שׁ אֶל־ הַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים כֹּל֩ כֶּ֨סֶף הַקֳּדָשִׁ֜ים אֲשֶׁר־ יוּבָ֤א בֵית־ יְהוָה֙ כֶּ֣סֶף עוֹבֵ֔ר אִ֕ישׁ כֶּ֥סֶף נַפְשׁ֖וֹת עֶרְכּ֑וֹ כָּל־ כֶּ֗סֶף אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַֽעֲלֶה֙ עַ֣ל לֶב־ אִ֔ישׁ לְהָבִ֖יא בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
5each priest is to take it from his assessor and repair whatever damage is found in the temple."5יִקְח֤וּ לָהֶם֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים אִ֖ישׁ מֵאֵ֣ת מַכָּר֑וֹ וְהֵ֗ם יְחַזְּקוּ֙ אֶת־ בֶּ֣דֶק הַבַּ֔יִת לְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ יִמָּצֵ֥א שָׁ֖ם בָּֽדֶק׃ פ
6But by the twenty-third year of the reign of King Joash, the priests had not repaired the damage to the temple.6וַיְהִ֗י בִּשְׁנַ֨ת עֶשְׂרִ֧ים וְשָׁלֹ֛שׁ שָׁנָ֖ה לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ יְהוֹאָ֑שׁ לֹֽא־ חִזְּק֥וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים אֶת־ בֶּ֥דֶק הַבָּֽיִת׃
7So King Joash called the priest Jehoiada and the other priests and asked, "Why haven't you repaired the temple's damage? Since you haven't, don't take any silver from your assessors; instead, hand it over for the repair of the temple."7וַיִּקְרָא֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ יְהוֹאָ֜שׁ לִיהוֹיָדָ֤ע הַכֹּהֵן֙ וְלַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם מַדּ֛וּעַ אֵינְכֶ֥ם מְחַזְּקִ֖ים אֶת־ בֶּ֣דֶק הַבָּ֑יִת וְעַתָּ֗ה אַל־ תִּקְחוּ־ כֶ֙סֶף֙ מֵאֵ֣ת מַכָּֽרֵיכֶ֔ם כִּֽי־ לְבֶ֥דֶק הַבַּ֖יִת תִּתְּנֻֽהוּ׃
8So the priests agreed that they would receive no silver from the people and would not be the ones to repair the temple's damage.8וַיֵּאֹ֖תוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִ֑ים לְבִלְתִּ֤י קְחַת־ כֶּ֙סֶף֙ מֵאֵ֣ת הָעָ֔ם וּלְבִלְתִּ֥י חַזֵּ֖ק אֶת־ בֶּ֥דֶק הַבָּֽיִת׃
9Then the priest Jehoiada took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the LORD's temple; the priests who guarded the threshold put into the chest all the silver that was brought to the LORD's temple.9וַיִּקַּ֞ח יְהוֹיָדָ֤ע הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֲר֣וֹן אֶחָ֔ד וַיִּקֹּ֥ב חֹ֖ר בְּדַלְתּ֑וֹ וַיִּתֵּ֣ן אֹתוֹ֩ אֵ֨צֶל הַמִּזְבֵּ֜חַ [בימין] (מִיָּמִ֗ין) בְּבֽוֹא־ אִישׁ֙ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וְנָֽתְנוּ־ שָׁ֤מָּה הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ שֹׁמְרֵ֣י הַסַּ֔ף אֶת־ כָּל־ הַכֶּ֖סֶף הַמּוּבָ֥א בֵית־ יְהוָֽה׃
10Whenever they saw there was a large amount of silver in the chest, the king's secretary and the high priest would go bag up and tally the silver found in the LORD's temple.10וַֽיְהִי֙ כִּרְאוֹתָ֔ם כִּֽי־ רַ֥ב הַכֶּ֖סֶף בָּֽאָר֑וֹן וַיַּ֨עַל סֹפֵ֤ר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וְהַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּד֔וֹל וַיָּצֻ֙רוּ֙ וַיִּמְנ֔וּ אֶת־ הַכֶּ֖סֶף הַנִּמְצָ֥א בֵית־ יְהוָֽה׃
11Then they would give the weighed silver to those doing the work--those who oversaw the LORD's temple. They in turn would pay it out to those working on the LORD's temple--the carpenters, the builders,11וְנָתְנוּ֙ אֶת־ הַכֶּ֣סֶף הַֽמְתֻכָּ֔ן עַל־ [יד] (יְדֵי֙) עֹשֵׂ֣י הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה [הפקדים] (הַמֻּפְקָדִ֖ים) בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וַיּוֹצִיאֻ֜הוּ לְחָרָשֵׁ֤י הָעֵץ֙ וְלַבֹּנִ֔ים הָעֹשִׂ֖ים בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
12the masons, and the stonecutters--and would use it to buy timber and quarried stone to repair the damage to the LORD's temple and for all expenses for temple repairs.12וְלַגֹּֽדְרִים֙ וּלְחֹצְבֵ֣י הָאֶ֔בֶן וְלִקְנ֤וֹת עֵצִים֙ וְאַבְנֵ֣י מַחְצֵ֔ב לְחַזֵּ֖ק אֶת־ בֶּ֣דֶק בֵּית־ יְהוָ֑ה וּלְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ יֵצֵ֥א עַל־ הַבַּ֖יִת לְחָזְקָֽה׃
13However, no silver bowls, wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver were made for the LORD's temple from the contributions brought to the LORD's temple.13אַךְ֩ לֹ֨א יֵעָשֶׂ֜ה בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֗ה סִפּ֥וֹת כֶּ֙סֶף֙ מְזַמְּר֤וֹת מִזְרָקוֹת֙ חֲצֹ֣צְר֔וֹת כָּל־ כְּלִ֥י זָהָ֖ב וּכְלִי־ כָ֑סֶף מִן־ הַכֶּ֖סֶף הַמּוּבָ֥א בֵית־ יְהוָֽה׃
14Instead, it was given to those doing the work, and they repaired the LORD's temple with it.14כִּֽי־ לְעֹשֵׂ֥י הַמְּלָאכָ֖ה יִתְּנֻ֑הוּ וְחִזְּקוּ־ ב֖וֹ אֶת־ בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
15No accounting was required from the men who received the silver to pay those doing the work, since they worked with integrity.15וְלֹ֧א יְחַשְּׁב֣וּ אֶת־ הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִתְּנ֤וּ אֶת־ הַכֶּ֙סֶף֙ עַל־ יָדָ֔ם לָתֵ֖ת לְעֹשֵׂ֣י הַמְּלָאכָ֑ה כִּ֥י בֶאֱמֻנָ֖ה הֵ֥ם עֹשִֽׂים׃
16The silver from the guilt offering and the sin offering was not brought to the LORD's temple since it belonged to the priests.16כֶּ֤סֶף אָשָׁם֙ וְכֶ֣סֶף חַטָּא֔וֹת לֹ֥א יוּבָ֖א בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה לַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים יִהְיֽוּ׃ פ
17At that time King Hazael of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he planned to attack Jerusalem.17אָ֣ז יַעֲלֶ֗ה חֲזָאֵל֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֔ם וַיִּלָּ֥חֶם עַל־ גַּ֖ת וַֽיִּלְכְּדָ֑הּ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם חֲזָאֵל֙ פָּנָ֔יו לַעֲל֖וֹת עַל־ יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
18So King Joash of Judah took all the items consecrated by himself and by his ancestors--Judah's kings Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah--as well as all the gold found in the treasuries of the LORD's temple and in the king's palace, and he sent them to King Hazael of Aram. Then Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.18וַיִּקַּ֞ח יְהוֹאָ֣שׁ מֶֽלֶךְ־ יְהוּדָ֗ה אֵ֣ת כָּל־ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֡ים אֲשֶׁר־ הִקְדִּ֣ישׁוּ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֣ט וִיהוֹרָם֩ וַאֲחַזְיָ֨הוּ אֲבֹתָ֜יו מַלְכֵ֤י יְהוּדָה֙ וְאֶת־ קֳדָשָׁ֔יו וְאֵ֣ת כָּל־ הַזָּהָ֗ב הַנִּמְצָ֛א בְּאֹצְר֥וֹת בֵּית־ יְהוָ֖ה וּבֵ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיִּשְׁלַ֗ח לַֽחֲזָאֵל֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֔ם וַיַּ֖עַל מֵעַ֥ל יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
19The rest of the events of Joash's reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah's Kings.19וְיֶ֛תֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י יוֹאָ֖שׁ וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה הֲלוֹא־ הֵ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֗ים עַל־ סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לְמַלְכֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה׃
20Joash's servants conspired against him and attacked him at Beth-millo on the road that goes down to Silla.20וַיָּקֻ֥מוּ עֲבָדָ֖יו וַיִּקְשְׁרֽוּ־ קָ֑שֶׁר וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת־ יוֹאָ֔שׁ בֵּ֥ית מִלֹּ֖א הַיּוֹרֵ֥ד סִלָּֽא׃
21It was his servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer who attacked him. He died and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and his son Amaziah became king in his place.21וְיוֹזָבָ֣ד בֶּן־ שִׁ֠מְעָת וִיהוֹזָבָ֨ד בֶּן־ שֹׁמֵ֤ר ׀ עֲבָדָיו֙ הִכֻּ֣הוּ וַיָּמֹ֔ת וַיִּקְבְּר֥וּ אֹת֛וֹ עִם־ אֲבֹתָ֖יו בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ אֲמַצְיָ֥ה בְנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ פ
