2 Chronicles 24:4-16

4And it came to pass after this, that JoashH3101 wasH1961 minded to restore the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 5And he gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and saidH559 to them, GoH3318 out unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and gatherH6908 of all IsraelH3478 moneyH3701 to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of your GodH430 from yearH8141 to yearH8141; and see that ye hastenH4116 the matterH1697. Howbeit the LevitesH3881 hastenedH4116 it not. 6And the kingH4428 calledH7121 for JehoiadaH3077 the chiefH7218, and saidH559 unto him, WhyH4069 hast thou not requiredH1875 of the LevitesH3881 to bringH935 in out of JudahH3063 and out of JerusalemH3389 the taxH4864 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of Jehovah, and of the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, for the tentH168 of the testimonyH5715? 7For the sonsH1121 of AthaliahH6271, that wicked woman, had brokenH6555 up the houseH1004 of GodH430; and alsoH1571 all the dedicated thingsH6944 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah did they bestow upon the Baalim.

8So the kingH4428 commanded, and they madeH6213 a chestH727, and setH5414 it without at the gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 9And they madeH5414 a proclamationH6963 through JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, to bringH935 in for Jehovah the taxH4864 that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 laid upon IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057. 10And all the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, and broughtH935 in, and castH7993 into the chestH727, until they had madeH8055 an endH3615. 11And it wasH1961 so, that, at what timeH6256 the chestH727 wasH1961 broughtH935 unto the king’sH4428 officersH6496 by the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881, and when they sawH7200 that there wasH1961 much moneyH3701, the king’sH4428 scribeH5608 and the chiefH7218 priest’sH3548 officerH6496 cameH935 and emptied the chestH727, and tookH5375 it, and carriedH5375 it to its placeH4725 again. ThusH3541 they did dayH3117 by dayH3117, and gatheredH622 moneyH3701 in abundanceH7230. 12And the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077 gaveH5414 it to such as did the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and they hiredH7936 masons and carpenters to restore the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and alsoH1571 such as wrought ironH1270 and brass to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 13So the workmen wrought, and the workH4399 of repairing wentH5927 forward in their handsH3027, and they setH5975 up the houseH1004 of GodH430 in its state, and strengthenedH553 it. 14And when they had madeH6213 an endH3615, they broughtH935 the restH7605 of the moneyH3701 before the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077, whereof wereH1961 madeH6213 vesselsH3627 for the houseH1004 of Jehovah, even vesselsH3627 wherewith to minister and to offerH5927, and spoons, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701. And they offeredH5927 burnt-offerings in the houseH1004 of Jehovah continuallyH8548 all the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077.

15But JehoiadaH3077 waxed old and was full of daysH3117, and he diedH4191; a hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 old was he when he diedH4191. 16And they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 among the kingsH4428, because he had done goodH2896 in IsraelH3478, and toward GodH430 and his houseH1004.
