 24:1 ¶ Ioash 3101 [was] seuen 7651 yeeres 8141 old 1121 when he beganne to reigne; 4427 z8800 and he reigned 4427 z8804 fortie 705 yeeres 8141 in Ierusalem: 3389 his mothers 517 name 8034 also [was] Zibiah, 6645 of Beer-sheba. 884 x4480

 24:2 And Ioash y3101 x3077 did 6213 z8799 that which [was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 all x3605 the dayes 3117 of Iehoiada 3077 the Priest. 3548

 24:3 And Iehoiada 3077 tooke 5375 z8799 for him two 8147 wiues, 802 and he begat 3205 z8686 sonnes 1121 and daughters. 1323

 24:4 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 after 310 this x3651 that Ioash 3101 was x1961 minded 3820 x5973 to repaire 2318 z8763 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 24:5 And hee gathered together 6908 z8799 x853 the priests 3548 and the Leuites, 3881 and saide 559 z8799 to them, Go out 3318 z8798 vnto the cities 5892 of Iudah, 3063 and gather 6908 z8798 of all x4480 x3605 Israel 3478 money 3701 to repaire 2388 z8763 x853 the house 1004 of your God 430 from 1767 x4480 yeere 8141 to yere, 8141 and see that ye x859 haste 4116 z8762 the matter: 1697 howbeit the Leuites 3881 hastened 4116 z8765 [it] not. x3808

 24:6 And the king 4428 called 7121 z8799 for Iehoiada 3077 the chiefe, 7218 and saide 559 z8799 vnto him, Why x4069 hast thou not x3808 required 1875 z8804 of x5921 the Leuites 3881 to bring in 935 z8687 out of Iudah 3063 x4480 and out of Ierusalem, 3389 x4480 x853 the collection, 4864 [according to the commandement] of Moses 4872 the seruant 5650 of the LORD, 3068 and of the Congregation 6951 of Israel, 3478 for the tabernacle 168 of Witnesse? 5715

 24:7 For x3588 the sonnes 1121 of Athaliah 6271 that wicked y4849 woman, x4849 had broken vp 6555 z8804 x853 the house 1004 of God, 430 and also x1571 all x3605 the dedicate things 6944 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 did they bestow 6213 z8804 vpon Baalim. 1168

 24:8 And at the kings 4428 commandement 559 z8799 they made 6213 z8799 a 259 chest, 727 and set 5414 z8799 it without, 2351 at the gate 8179 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 24:9 And they made 5414 z8799 a proclamation 6963 through Iudah 3063 & Ierusalem, 3389 to bring in 935 z8687 to the LORD, 3068 the collection 4864 that Moses 4872 the seruant 5650 of God 430 [laid] vpon x5921 Israel 3478 in the wildernesse. 4057

 24:10 And all x3605 the Princes 8269 and all x3605 the people 5971 reioyced, 8055 z8799 and brought in, 935 z8686 and cast 7993 z8686 into the chest, 727 vntill x5704 they had made an ende. 3615 z8763

 24:11 Now it came to passe x1961 that at what time 6256 x853 the chest 727 was brought 935 z8686 vnto x413 the kings 4428 office, 6486 by the hand 3027 of the Leuites: 3881 and when they sawe 7200 z8800 that x3588 [there was] much 7227 money: 3701 the kings 4428 Scribe, 5608 z8802 and the high 7218 priests 3548 officer, 6496 came 935 z8804 and emptied 6168 z8762 x853 the chest, 727 and tooke 5375 z8799 it, and caried 7725 z0 it to x413 his place 4725 againe. y7725 z8686 Thus x3541 they did 6213 z8804 day 3117 by day, 3117 and gathered 622 z8799 money 3701 in abundance. 7230

 24:12 And the king 4428 and Iehoiada 3077 gaue 5414 z8799 it to x413 such as did 6213 z8802 the worke 4399 of the seruice 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and hired 7936 z8802 x1961 Masons 2672 z8802 and carpenters 2796 to repaire 2318 z8763 the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and also x1571 such as wrought 2796 yron 1270 and brasse 5178 to mend 2388 z8763 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 24:13 So the workemen 4399 6213 z8802 wrought, 6213 z8799 and the worke 4399 was y5927 z8799 perfected 724 x5927 by x3027 them: y3027 and they set 5975 z8686 x853 the house 1004 of God 430 in x5921 his state, 4971 and strengthened 553 z8762 it.

 24:14 And when they had finished 3615 z8763 [it], they brought 935 z8689 x853 the rest 7605 of the money 3701 before 6440 the king 4428 and Iehoiada, 3077 whereof were made 6213 z8799 vessels 3627 for the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 euen vessels 3627 to minister 8335 and to offer 5927 z8687 withall, and spoones, 3709 and vessels 3627 of golde 2091 and siluer: 3701 and they offered 5927 z8688 x1961 burnt offerings 5930 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 continually, 8548 all x3605 the dayes 3117 of Iehoiada. 3077

 24:15 ¶ But Iehoiada 3077 waxed old, 2204 z8799 and was full 7646 z8799 of dayes 3117 when hee died: 4191 z8799 an hundred 3967 and thirtie 7970 yeeres 8141 olde 1121 [was hee] when hee died. 4194

 24:16 And they buried 6912 z8799 him in the citie 5892 of Dauid 1732 among x5973 the kings, 4428 because x3588 he had done 6213 z8804 good 2896 in Israel, 3478 both towards x5973 God, 430 and towards his house. 1004

 24:17 Now after 310 the death 4194 of Iehoiada, 3077 came 935 z8804 the Princes 8269 of Iudah, 3063 and made obeysance 7812 z8691 to the king: 4428 then x227 the king 4428 hearkened 8085 z8804 vnto x413 them.

 24:18 And they left 5800 z8799 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers, 1 and serued 5647 z8799 x853 groues 842 and idols: 6091 and wrath 7110 came x1961 vpon x5921 Iudah 3063 and Ierusalem 3389 for this x2063 their trespasse. 819

 24:19 Yet hee sent 7971 z8799 prophets 5030 to them to bring them againe 7725 z8687 vnto x413 the LORD, 3068 and they testified 5749 z8686 against them: but they would not x3808 giue eare. 238 z8689

 24:20 And the spirit 7307 of God 430 came y3847 z8804 vpon x3847 x853 Zechariah 2148 the sonne 1121 of Iehoiada 3077 the priest, 3548 which stood 5975 z8799 aboue x4480 x5921 the people, 5971 and said 559 z8799 vnto them: Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 God, 430 Why x4100 transgresse 5674 z8802 yee x859 x853 the commandements 4687 of the LORD, 3068 that yee cannot x3808 prosper? 6743 z8686 Because x3588 yee haue forsaken 5800 z8804 the LORD, 3068 he hath also forsaken 5800 z8799 x853 you.

 24:21 And they conspired 7194 z8799 against x5921 him, and stoned 7275 z8799 him with stones 68 at the commandement 4687 of the king, 4428 in the court 2691 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 24:22 Thus Ioash 3101 the king 4428 remembred 2142 z8804 not x3808 the kindnesse 2617 which x834 Iehoiada 3077 his father 1 had done 6213 z8804 to x5973 him, but slew 2026 z8799 x853 his sonne: 1121 and when he died, y4194 x4191 he said, 559 z8804 The LORD 3068 looke y7200 z8799 vpon x7200 [it], and require 1875 z8799 [it].

 24:23 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 at the end 8622 of the yeere, 8141 that the hoste 2428 of Syria 758 came vp 5927 z8804 against x5921 him: and they came 935 z8799 to x413 Iudah 3063 and Ierusalem, 3389 and destroyed 7843 z8686 x853 all x3605 the Princes 8269 of the people 5971 from among the people, 5971 x4480 and sent 7971 z8765 all x3605 the spoile 7998 of them vnto the king 4428 of Damascus. 1834

 24:24 For x3588 the armie 2428 of the Syrians 758 came 935 z8804 with a small y4705 companie x4705 of men, y582 x376 and the LORD 3068 deliuered 5414 z8804 a very 3966 great 7230 hoste 2428 into their hand, 3027 because x3588 they had forsaken 5800 z8804 x853 the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers: 1 so they executed 6213 z8804 iudgement 8201 against x854 Ioash. 3101

 24:25 And when they were departed y3212 z8800 x1980 from x4480 him (for x3588 they left 5800 z8804 him in great 7227 diseases) 4251 his owne seruants 5650 conspired 7194 z8694 against x5921 him, for the blood 1818 of the sonnes 1121 of Iehoiada 3077 the Priest, 3548 and slewe 2026 z8799 him on x5921 his bed, 4296 and he died: 4191 z8799 and they buried 6912 z8799 him in the citie 5892 of Dauid, 1732 but they buried 6912 z8804 him not x3808 in the sepulchres 6913 of the Kings. 4428

 24:26 And these x428 are they that conspired 7194 z8693 against x5921 him; Zabad 2066 the sonne 1121 of Shimeah 8100 an Ammonitesse, y5985 x5984 and Iehozabad 3075 the sonne 1121 of Shimrith 8116 a Moabitesse. 4125

 24:27 ¶ Now concerning his sonnes, 1121 and the greatnesse 7230 y7235 z8799 z8675 of the burdens 4853 laide vpon x5921 him, and the repairing 3247 of the house 1004 of God, 430 behold, x2009 they are written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the story 4097 of the booke 5612 of the Kings. 4428 And Amaziah 558 his sonne 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478
