13 But there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, braziers for incense, trumpets or any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD; 14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired with it the house of the LORD. 15 Moreover they did not ask an accounting from the men to whom they delivered the money to give it to the workmen; for they dealt faithfully in paying out the repair money. 16 The money from the trespass offerings and the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was the priests'. 17 Then Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. 18 And Joash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Joram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem. 19 And the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. 20 And the servants of Joash arose and made a conspiracy and slew Joash in the house of Millo, as he was going down to Silla. 21 It was Jozachar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabar the son of Shomer, his servants, who smote him so that he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. 2 Kings 12:13-21, Lamsa Bible.
