00:02.520 --> 00:06.740
Joash was seven years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned forty years in

00:06.740 --> 00:07.120
Jerusalem.

00:08.180 --> 00:10.580
His mother's name also was Zebia of
Beersheba.

00:11.460 --> 00:15.240
And Joash did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada

00:15.240 --> 00:15.780
the priest.

00:16.460 --> 00:20.560
And Jehoiada took for him two wives,
and he begat sons and daughters.

00:21.540 --> 00:25.680
And it came to pass after this that Joash
was minded to repair the house of the

00:25.680 --> 00:25.880
Lord.

00:26.500 --> 00:30.740
And he gathered together the priests and
the Levites and said to them, Go out unto

00:30.740 --> 00:35.420
the cities of Judah, and gather of all
Israel money to repair the house of your

00:35.420 --> 00:39.020
God from year to year, and see that ye
hasten the matter.

00:39.280 --> 00:41.040
Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

00:41.400 --> 00:45.400
And the king called for Jehoiada the
chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou

00:45.400 --> 00:50.060
not required of the Levites to bring in
out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the

00:50.060 --> 00:54.020
collection according to the commandment of
Moses, the servant of the Lord,

00:54.360 --> 00:58.080
and of the congregation of Israel,
for the tabernacle of witness?

00:58.080 --> 01:02.240
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked
woman, had broken up the house of God,

01:02.840 --> 01:06.760
and also all the dedicated things of the
house of the Lord did they bestow upon

01:06.760 --> 01:07.180
Baalim.

01:07.880 --> 01:12.040
And at the king's commandment they made a
chest, and set it without at the gate of

01:12.040 --> 01:12.840
the house of the Lord.

01:13.500 --> 01:18.040
And they made a proclamation through Judah
and Jerusalem to bring into the Lord the

01:18.040 --> 01:21.840
collection that Moses, the servant of God,
laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

01:22.980 --> 01:27.120
And all the princes and all the people
rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into

01:27.120 --> 01:29.220
the chest, until they had made an end.

01:30.480 --> 01:34.200
Now it came to pass, that at what time the
chest was brought unto the king's office

01:34.200 --> 01:35.600
by the hand of the Levites.

01:36.180 --> 01:39.760
And when they saw that there was much
money, the king's scribe and the high

01:39.760 --> 01:43.980
priest's officer came, and emptied the
chest, and took it, and carried it to his

01:43.980 --> 01:44.500
place again.

01:45.400 --> 01:48.660
Thus they did day by day, and gathered
money in abundance.

01:49.520 --> 01:53.400
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such
as did the work of the service of the

01:53.400 --> 01:58.000
house of the Lord, and hired masons and
carpenters to repair the house of the

01:58.000 --> 02:02.540
Lord, and also such as wrought iron and
brass to mend the house of the Lord.

02:03.220 --> 02:07.960
So the workmen wrought, and the work was
perfected by them, and they set the house

02:07.960 --> 02:10.160
of God in his state, and strengthened it.

02:10.820 --> 02:13.700
And when they had finished it,
they brought the rest of the money before

02:13.700 --> 02:17.600
the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made
vessels for the house of the Lord,

02:18.000 --> 02:23.460
even vessels to minister, and offer with
ore, and spoons, and vessels of gold and

02:23.460 --> 02:23.700
silver.

02:23.700 --> 02:28.380
And they offered burnt offerings in the
house of the Lord continually all the days

02:28.380 --> 02:28.940
of Jehoiada.

02:30.300 --> 02:33.860
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of
days when he died.

02:34.760 --> 02:36.880
And hundred and thirty years old was he
when he died.

02:37.440 --> 02:41.460
And they buried him in the city of David
among the kings, because he had done good

02:41.460 --> 02:44.540
in Israel, both toward God and toward his
house.

02:45.620 --> 02:50.140
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the
princes of Judah, and made obeisance to

02:50.140 --> 02:50.500
the king.

02:51.400 --> 02:55.040
Then the king hearkened unto them,
and they left the house of the Lord God of

02:55.040 --> 02:57.860
their fathers, and served groves and
idols.

02:58.840 --> 03:02.020
And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem,
for this their trespass.

03:03.000 --> 03:06.080
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring
them again unto the Lord.

03:06.400 --> 03:09.680
And they testified against them,
but they would not give ear.

03:10.800 --> 03:14.700
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah,
the son of Jehoiada the priest,

03:15.100 --> 03:20.580
which stood above the people, and said
unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress

03:20.580 --> 03:23.520
ye the commandments of the Lord,
that ye cannot prosper?

03:23.980 --> 03:27.760
Because ye have forsaken the Lord,
he hath also forsaken you.

03:28.200 --> 03:31.440
And they conspired against him,
and stoned him with stones at the

03:31.440 --> 03:33.620
commandment of the king in the court of
the house of the Lord.

03:34.340 --> 03:38.740
Thus Joash the king remembered not the
kindness which Jehoiada his father had

03:38.740 --> 03:40.620
done to him, but slew his son.

03:41.120 --> 03:45.080
And when he died he said, The Lord look
upon it and require it.

03:45.320 --> 03:49.380
And it came to pass at the end of the year
that the host of Syria came up against

03:49.380 --> 03:49.620
him.

03:50.200 --> 03:53.540
And they came to Judah and Jerusalem,
and destroyed all the princes of the

03:53.540 --> 03:57.020
people from among the people, and sent all
the spoil of them unto the king of

03:57.020 --> 03:57.520
Damascus.

03:58.060 --> 04:02.220
For the army of the Syrians came with the
small company of men, and the Lord

04:02.220 --> 04:05.920
delivered a very great host into their
hand, because they had forsaken the Lord

04:05.920 --> 04:06.760
God of their fathers.

04:07.600 --> 04:10.020
So they executed judgment against Joash.

04:10.660 --> 04:13.960
And when they were departed from him,
for they left him in great diseases,

04:13.960 --> 04:18.620
his own servants conspired against him for
the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the

04:18.620 --> 04:21.820
priest, and slew him on his bed,
and he died.

04:22.480 --> 04:26.500
And they buried him in the city of David,
but they buried him not in the sepulchres

04:26.500 --> 04:27.080
of the kings.

04:27.940 --> 04:32.020
And these are they that conspired against
him, Zabad the son of Shimeath and

04:32.020 --> 04:35.560
Ammonitus, and Jehozabad the son of
Shimrith and Moabitus.

04:36.480 --> 04:40.620
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness
of the burdens laid upon him, and the

04:40.620 --> 04:44.340
repairing of the house of God,
behold, they are written in the story of

04:44.340 --> 04:45.160
the book of the kings.

04:46.060 --> 04:48.380
And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
