11: So it was,H1961 at that time whenH6256 was broughtH0935 -H0853 the chestH0727 toH0413 officialH6486 of the kingH4428 by the handH3027 of the Levites,H3881 and when they sawH7200 that [there was]H3588 muchH7227 money,H3701 that cameH0935 scribeH5608 of the kingH4428 and officerH6496 of priestH3548 the highH7218 and emptiedH6168 -H0853 the chest,H0727 and took itH5375 and returned itH7725 toH0413 its placeH4725 thusH3541 they didH6213 dayH3117 by day,H3117 and gatheredH0622 moneyH3701 in abundance.H7230

12: And gave itH5414 the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077 toH0413 those who didH6213 the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 andH1961 they hiredH7936 masonsH2672 and carpentersH2796 to repairH2318 the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and alsoH1571 those who worked inH2796 ironH1270 and bronzeH5178 to restoreH2388 -H0853 the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068

14: And when they had finishedH3615 they broughtH0935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and Jehoiada,H3077 -H0853 the restH7605 of the moneyH3701 and they made from itH6213 articlesH3627 for the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 articlesH3627 for serving,H8335 and offeringH5927 and spoons,H3709 and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and silver.H3701 And theyH1961 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the houseH1004 of YahwehH3068 continuallyH8548 allH3605 the daysH3117 of Jehoiada.H3077

15: But grew old,H2204 JehoiadaH3077 and was fullH7646 of daysH3117 and he died-H4191 oldH1121 a hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 [he was] years oldH8141 when he died.H4194

16: And they buried himH6912 in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732 amongH5973 the kings,H4428 becauseH3588 he had doneH6213 goodH2896 in Israel,H3478 and both towardH5973 God,H0430 and His house.H1004

17: And afterH0310 the deathH4194 of JehoiadaH3077 cameH0935 the leadersH8269 of Judah,H3063 and bowed downH7812 to the king.H4428 ThenH0227 listenedH8085 the kingH4428 to them.H0413

18: Therefore they leftH5800 -H0853 the houseH1004 of YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of their fathers,H0001 and servedH5647 -H0853 wooden imagesH0842 andH0853 idols-H6091 and cameH1961 wrathH7110 uponH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 because of their trespassH0819 this.H2063

19: And yet He sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to bring them backH7725 toH0413 Yahweh-H3068 and they testifiedH5749 but notH3808 they would listen.H0238

20: And the SpiritH7307 of GodH0430 came uponH3847 -H0853 ZechariahH2148 sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priest,H3548 and who stoodH5975 uponH5921 above the people,H5971 and saidH0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 God,H0430 whyH4100 youH0859 do transgressH5674 -H0853 the commandmentsH4687 of Yahweh,H3068 so that cannotH3808 you prosper?H6743 becauseH3588 you have forsakenH5800 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and He has forsakenH5800 you.H0853

21: So they conspiredH7194 against himH5921 and they stoned himH7275 with stonesH0068 at the commandH4687 of the kingH4428 in the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068

22: Thus notH3808 did rememberH2142 JoashH3101 the kingH4428 the kindnessH2617 whichH0834 had doneH6213 JehoiadaH3077 his fatherH0001 to himH5973 but killedH2026 -H0853 his son.H1121 And as he died,H4191 he said,H0559 look on [it]H7200 YahwehH3068 and repay.H1875

23: So it came to passH1961 in the springH8622 of the year,H8141 [that] came upH5927 against himH5921 the armyH2426 of SyriaH0758 and they cameH0935 toH0413 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem,H3389 and destroyedH7843 -H0853 allH3605 the leadersH8269 of the peopleH5971 from among the people,H5971 and allH3605 their spoilH7998 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of Damascus.H1834

24: ForH3588 with a small company ofH4705 menH0582 cameH0935 the armyH2426 of SyriaH0758 but YahwehH3068 deliveredH5414 into their hand,H3027 a armyH2428 greatH7230 veryH3966 becauseH3588 they had forsakenH5800 -H0853 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of their fathersH0001 so againstH0854 Joash.H3101 They executedH6213 judgment.H8201

25: And when they had withdrawnH1980 from himH4480 forH3588 they leftH5800 himH0853 woundedH4251 severelyH7227 conspiredH7194 against himH5921 his own servantsH5650 because of the bloodH1818 of the sonsH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priest,H3548 and killed himH2026 onH5921 his bed,H4296 so he died,H4191 and they buried himH6912 in the CityH5892 of David,H1732 but notH3808 they did bury himH6912 in the tombsH6913 of the kings.H4428

26: And theseH0428 are the ones who conspiredH7194 against himH5921 ZabadH2066 the son ofH1121 ShimeathH8100 the AmmonitessH5985 and JehozabadH3075 sonH1121 of ShimrithH8116 the Moabitess.H4125

27: And [concerning] his sons,H1121 the greatnessH7230 oraclesH4853 about himH5921 and the repairingH3247 of the houseH1004 of God,H0430 indeed theyH2005 [are] writtenH3789 inH5921 the annalsH4097 of the bookH5612 of the kings.H4428 And reignedH4427 AmaziahH0558 his sonH1121 in his place.H8478
