1 In the seventh year to Jehu, Jehoash reigned; and forty years he reigned in Jerusalem And his mother's name Zibiah, from the Well of the Oath. 2 And Jehoash will do the straight in the eyes of Jehovah all his days which Jehoida the priest taught him. 3 Only the heights were not removed; the people yet sacrificing and burning incense upon the heights. 4 And Jehoash will say to the priests, All the silver of the holies which shall come to the house of Jehovah, the silver of a man passing by, the silver of the souls of his estimation, all the silver which shall come up upon the heart of a man to bring in to the house of Jehovah, 5 The priests shall take to themselves a man from his selling; and they shall make firm the breach of the house to all which a breach shall be found there. 6 And it will be in the year the twenty and third year to king Jehoash, and the priests strengthened not the breach of the house. 7 And king Jehoash will call for Jehoida the priest, and for the priests, and he will say to them, Wherefore are ye not strengthening the breach of the house? now ye shall not take silver from the selling, for ye shall give it for the breach of the house. 2 Kings 12:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
