2 Chronicles 24:1-5 ▼

1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.

2 Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

3 Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.

4 It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore the house of the LORD.

5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, |Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.| However the Levites did not do it right away.
