2 Kings 12:13-21 ▼

13 Only, there is not made for the house of YHWH basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of YHWH;

14 for they give it to those doing the work, and they have strengthened the house of YHWH with it,

15 and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for they are dealing in faithfulness.

16 The money of a trespass-offering and the money of sin-offerings is not brought into the house of YHWH—it is for the priests.

17 Then Hazael king of Aram goes up and fights against Gath, and captures it, and Hazael sets his face to go up against Jerusalem;

18 and Jehoash king of Judah takes all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Hazael king of Aram, and he goes up from off Jerusalem.

19 And the rest of the matters of Joash and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

20 And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and strike Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla.

21 Indeed, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have struck him, and he dies, and they bury him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigns in his stead.
