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. 1Ch 3:112Ki 11:21 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 2Ch 25:22Ch 26:4-52Ch 24:17-222Ki 12:2Isa 29:13Mrk 4:16-17Psa 106:12-13Psa 78:36-37 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters. 2Ch 24:15Gen 21:21Gen 24:4Gen 4:19Mat 19:4-8
¶ And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD. 1 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. 2Ch 21:22Ch 29:32Ch 34:8-92Ki 12:4-7 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? Exo 30:12-16Num 1:50Num 17:7-82Sa 24:3Act 7:44Num 18:2 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. 2Ch 21:172Ch 28:22-242Ki 12:42Th 2:8Dan 5:2-4Dan 5:23Deu 32:15-17Est 7:6 And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD. 2Ki 12:8-9Mrk 12:41 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. 2 2Ch 24:6Mat 17:24-27 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end. 1Ch 29:92Co 8:22Co 9:7Act 2:45-47Isa 64:5 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. 1Co 16:22Ki 12:10-12 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. 1Ki 5:152Ch 34:9-11 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it. 3 1Ch 22:5Hag 2:3Mrk 13:1-2Neh 4:7 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. 4 1Ki 7:502Ki 12:13-14Exo 29:38-42Num 28:2-29Pro 27:22
¶ But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. 1Ch 23:1Gen 15:15Gen 25:8Gen 47:9Job 5:26Psa 90:10Psa 91:16 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. Heb 6:102Ch 31:20Neh 13:141Ki 2:101Sa 2:302Ch 23:1-21Act 2:29 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. Deu 31:272Ch 10:8-102Ch 22:3-42Pe 1:15Act 20:29-30Dan 11:32Pro 20:19Pro 26:28 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. Jos 22:202Ch 19:22Ch 24:4Eph 5:61Ki 14:232Ch 28:132Ch 32:25Hos 5:10-11 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. 2Ch 36:15-162Ki 17:13-15Isa 28:23Isa 42:23Isa 51:4Isa 55:3Jer 25:4-5Jer 26:5 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. 5 Num 14:41Jer 5:252Ch 15:1-22Ch 20:141Ch 12:18Mat 23:351Ch 28:91Sa 13:13-14 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. Act 7:58-59Neh 9:26Jer 11:19Jer 18:18Jer 38:4-6Mat 21:35Mat 23:34-37 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. Gen 9:5Luk 11:51Jhn 10:32Rev 19:2Rev 6:9-11Psa 10:142Ti 4:142Ti 4:16
¶ 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. 6 7 2Ki 12:17-181Ki 20:221Ki 20:262Ch 24:17-18Deu 32:35Psa 2:10-11Psa 58:10-11Psa 82:6-7 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. 2Ch 22:8Deu 28:25Isa 30:17Lev 26:25Lev 26:37Lev 26:82Ch 16:8-92Ch 20:11-12 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. 2Ch 24:21-222Ch 28:272Ch 21:162Ch 21:18-202Ch 22:62Ch 24:162Ki 12:20-212Ki 14:19-20 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. 8 9 2Ki 12:21
¶ 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. 10 11 1Ch 3:122Ch 13:222Ch 16:112Ch 20:342Ch 24:122Ch 25:12Ch 9:292Ki 12:18
