2nd Chronicles Chapter 24 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Joash <H3101> [was] seven <H7651> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> forty <H0705> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> His mother's <H0517> name <H8034> also [was] Zibiah <H6645> of Beersheba. <H0884>
2: And Joash <H3101> did <H6213> [that which was] right <H3477> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> all the days <H3117> of Jehoiada <H3077> the priest. <H3548>
3: And Jehoiada <H3077> took <H5375> for him two <H8147> wives; <H0802> and he begat <H3205> sons <H1121> and daughters. <H1323>
4: And it came to pass after <H0310> this, [that] Joash <H3101> was minded <H3820> to repair <H2318> the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
5: And he gathered together <H6908> the priests <H3548> and the Levites, <H3881> and said <H0559> to them, Go out <H3318> unto the cities <H5892> of Judah, <H3063> and gather <H6908> of all Israel <H3478> money <H3701> to repair <H2388> the house <H1004> of your God <H0430> from <H1767> year <H8141> to year, <H8141> and see that ye hasten <H4116> the matter. <H1697> Howbeit the Levites <H3881> hastened <H4116> [it] not.
6: And the king <H4428> called <H7121> for Jehoiada <H3077> the chief, <H7218> and said <H0559> unto him, Why hast thou not required <H1875> of the Levites <H3881> to bring in <H0935> out of Judah <H3063> and out of Jerusalem <H3389> the collection, <H4864> [according to the commandment] of Moses <H4872> the servant <H5650> of the LORD, <H3068> and of the congregation <H6951> of Israel, <H3478> for the tabernacle <H0168> of witness? <H5715>
7: For the sons <H1121> of Athaliah, <H6271> that wicked <H4849> woman, had broken up <H6555> the house <H1004> of God; <H0430> and also all the dedicated things <H6944> of the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> did they bestow <H6213> upon Baalim. <H1168>
8: And at the king's <H4428> commandment <H0559> they made <H6213> a <H0259> chest, <H0727> and set <H5414> it without <H2351> at the gate <H8179> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
9: And they made <H5414> a proclamation <H6963> through Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> to bring in <H0935> to the LORD <H3068> the collection <H4864> [that] Moses <H4872> the servant <H5650> of God <H0430> [laid] upon Israel <H3478> in the wilderness. <H4057>
10: And all the princes <H8269> and all the people <H5971> rejoiced, <H8055> and brought in, <H0935> and cast <H7993> into the chest, <H0727> until they had made an end. <H3615>
11: Now it came to pass, that at what time <H6256> the chest <H0727> was brought <H0935> unto the king's <H4428> office <H6486> by the hand <H3027> of the Levites, <H3881> and when they saw <H7200> that [there was] much <H7227> money, <H3701> the king's <H4428> scribe <H5608> and the high <H7218> priest's <H3548> officer <H6496> came <H0935> and emptied <H6168> the chest, <H0727> and took <H5375> it, and carried it to his place <H4725> again. <H7725> Thus they did <H6213> day <H3117> by day, <H3117> and gathered <H0622> money <H3701> in abundance. <H7230>
12: And the king <H4428> and Jehoiada <H3077> gave <H5414> it to such as did <H6213> the work <H4399> of the service <H5656> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and hired <H7936> masons <H2672> and carpenters <H2796> to repair <H2318> the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and also such as wrought <H2796> iron <H1270> and brass <H5178> to mend <H2388> the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
13: So the workmen <H4399> <H6213> wrought, <H6213> and the work <H4399> was <H5927> perfected <H0724> by them, <H3027> and they set <H5975> the house <H1004> of God <H0430> in his state, <H4971> and strengthened <H0553> it.
14: And when they had finished <H3615> [it], they brought <H0935> the rest <H7605> of the money <H3701> before <H6440> the king <H4428> and Jehoiada, <H3077> whereof were made <H6213> vessels <H3627> for the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> [even] vessels <H3627> to minister, <H8335> and to offer <H5927> [withal], and spoons, <H3709> and vessels <H3627> of gold <H2091> and silver. <H3701> And they offered <H5927> burnt offerings <H5930> in the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> continually <H8548> all the days <H3117> of Jehoiada. <H3077>
15: But Jehoiada <H3077> waxed old, <H2204> and was full <H7646> of days <H3117> when he died; <H4191> an hundred <H3967> and thirty <H7970> years <H8141> old <H1121> [was he] when he died. <H4194>
16: And they buried <H6912> him in the city <H5892> of David <H1732> among the kings, <H4428> because he had done <H6213> good <H2896> in Israel, <H3478> both toward God, <H0430> and toward his house. <H1004>
17: Now after <H0310> the death <H4194> of Jehoiada <H3077> came <H0935> the princes <H8269> of Judah, <H3063> and made obeisance <H7812> to the king. <H4428> Then the king <H4428> hearkened <H8085> unto them.
18: And they left <H5800> the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of their fathers, <H0001> and served <H5647> groves <H0842> and idols: <H6091> and wrath <H7110> came upon Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem <H3389> for this their trespass. <H0819>
19: Yet he sent <H7971> prophets <H5030> to them, to bring them again <H7725> unto the LORD; <H3068> and they testified <H5749> against them: but they would not give ear. <H0238>
20: And the Spirit <H7307> of God <H0430> came upon <H3847> Zechariah <H2148> the son <H1121> of Jehoiada <H3077> the priest, <H3548> which stood <H5975> above the people, <H5971> and said <H0559> unto them, Thus saith <H0559> God, <H0430> Why transgress <H5674> ye the commandments <H4687> of the LORD, <H3068> that ye cannot prosper? <H6743> because ye have forsaken <H5800> the LORD, <H3068> he hath also forsaken <H5800> you.
21: And they conspired <H7194> against him, and stoned <H7275> him with stones <H0068> at the commandment <H4687> of the king <H4428> in the court <H2691> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
22: Thus Joash <H3101> the king <H4428> remembered <H2142> not the kindness <H2617> which Jehoiada <H3077> his father <H0001> had done <H6213> to him, but slew <H2026> his son. <H1121> And when he died, <H4194> he said, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> look <H7200> upon [it], and require <H1875> [it].
23: And it came to pass at the end <H8622> of the year, <H8141> [that] the host <H2428> of Syria <H0758> came up <H5927> against him: and they came <H0935> to Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> and destroyed <H7843> all the princes <H8269> of the people <H5971> from among the people, <H5971> and sent <H7971> all the spoil <H7998> of them unto the king <H4428> of Damascus. <H1834>
24: For the army <H2428> of the Syrians <H0758> came <H0935> with a small <H4705> company of men, <H0582> and the LORD <H3068> delivered <H5414> a very <H3966> great <H7230> host <H2428> into their hand, <H3027> because they had forsaken <H5800> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of their fathers. <H0001> So they executed <H6213> judgment <H8201> against Joash. <H3101>
25: And when they were departed <H3212> from him, (for they left <H5800> him in great <H7227> diseases,) <H4251> his own servants <H5650> conspired <H7194> against him for the blood <H1818> of the sons <H1121> of Jehoiada <H3077> the priest, <H3548> and slew <H2026> him on his bed, <H4296> and he died: <H4191> and they buried <H6912> him in the city <H5892> of David, <H1732> but they buried <H6912> him not in the sepulchres <H6913> of the kings. <H4428>
26: And these are they that conspired <H7194> against him; Zabad <H2066> the son <H1121> of Shimeath <H8100> an Ammonitess, <H5984> and Jehozabad <H3075> the son <H1121> of Shimrith <H8116> a Moabitess. <H4125>
27: Now [concerning] his sons, <H1121> and the greatness <H7235> of the burdens <H4853> [laid] upon him, and the repairing <H3247> of the house <H1004> of God, <H0430> behold, they [are] written <H3789> in the story <H4097> of the book <H5612> of the kings. <H4428> And Amaziah <H0558> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
