2 Chronicles 24:1-5 ▼

1 Joash [is] a son of seven years in his reigning, and he has reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.

2 And Joash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

3 And Jehoiada takes two wives for him, and he begets sons and daughters.

4 And it comes to pass after this, it has been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of YHWH,

5 and he gathers the priests and the Levites, and says to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money from all Israel to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year, and you, hurry to the matter”; and the Levites have not hurried.
