2 And Ioas dyd that whiche was right in the sight of the Lorde all the dayes of Iehoiada the priest.

3 And Iehoiada toke him two wyues, and he begat sonnes and daughters.

4 And it chaunced after this, that Ioas was minded to renue the house of the Lorde.

5 And he gathered together the priestes and the Leuites, and sayde to them: Go out vnto the cities of Iuda, and gather of all Israel money to repaire the house of your God from yere to yere, and see that ye haste the thing: Howebeit the Leuites were slacke.
