1 In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee. 2 And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him. 3 But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 4 And Joas said to the priests: All the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart they bring into the temple of the Lord: 5 Let the priests take it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing. 2 Kings 12:1-5, Douay-Rheims Bible.
