¶ The .xxiiii. Chapter.
¶ Ioas durynge the lyfe of Iehoiada, kepeth the lawe,
but after his deeth be regardeth it not. He kylleth zachariah
the prophete. Iehoas is kylled of his awne seruautes:
and after hym raygneth Amasiahu.
A Ioas was seuen yere olde when he
beganne to raygne, note ∧ he raygned
fourty yere in Ierusalem Hys mothers
name also was Zibia of Beer
Seba. And Ioas dyd that which was ryght
in the syght of the Lorde all the dayes of Iehoiada
the preaste. And Iehoiada toke hym
two wyues, and he begat sonnes and daughters.
And it chaunsed after this, that Ioas was
mynded, to renewe the house of the Lord and
he gathered together the preastes ∧ þe; Leuites,
and sayd to them: go out vnto the cyties
of Iuda, ∧ gather of all Israell money, to repayre
the house of youre God from yere to
B
yere, and se that ye hast the thynge: howbeit
the Leuites were slacke. And the kyng called
Iehoiada that was the chefest and sayd vnto
-- --
Ioas
hym. Why requirest thou not of the Leuites
to brynge in, out of Iuda ∧ Ierusalem, note the
collection of money accordynge to the commaundement
of Moses the seruaunt of the
Lorde and the congregacion of Israel shulde
offre it for the tabernacle of wytnesse. For
wycked Athaliahu and her chyldr&ebar; brake vp
the house of God, and all the thynges that
were dedicat for the house of the Lorde dyd
they bestowe for Bealim.
And at the kinges c&obar;maundement, note they
made a chest, ∧ set it without at the gate of þe;
house of the Lorde and made proclamacyon
thorowe Iuda and Ierusalem, to bryng into
the Lorde note the taxacion of money, þt; Moses
the seruaunt of God set vpon Israel in the
wyldernesse. And the Lordes and all the people
reioysed, and brought in, and cast into the
chest, vntill it was full.
C And it fortuned, that
at the same tyme they brought in þe; chest (vnto
them which were in the kynges busynesse)
by the hande of the Leuites. And when they
sawe þt; there was moche money, the kynges
scrybe (and one appoynted by the hye preast)
came, and emptied the chest, and toke it, and
caryed it to his place agayne: thus they dyd
daye by daye, and gathered moche money.
D And the kynge ∧ Iehoiada gaue it to soch
as dyd the laboure and worke in the house of
the Lorde, and hyred masons and carpenters
to repayre the house of the Lorde, and so dyd
they artificers in yron and brasse, to m&ebar;de the
house of the Lorde. And so the worckmen
wrought, and the worcke mended thorowe
theyr h&abar;des: and they made the house of God
as it ought to be, and strengthed it. And
wh&ebar; they had finisshed it, they brought þe; rest
of the moneye before the kyng and Iehoiada,
and ther with were made vessels for þe; house
of the Lorde: euen vessels to ministre withall,
and to serue for burnt offerynges: chargers
and spones, vessels of golde and syluer.
And they offered burntofferynges in the house
of the Lorde continuallye all the dayes of
Iehoiada.
E But Iehoiada waxed olde, and
dyed full of dayes. For an hundred ∧ thyrtye
yere olde was he when he dyed. And they buryed
hym in the cytie of Dauid amonge the
kynges, because he dealt well with Israel,
and with God and with his house. And after
the deeth of Iehoiada, came the Lordes of Iuda,
and made obeysaunce to the kynge. And
the kynge herkened vnto them. And so they
lefte the house of the Lorde God of theyr fathers,
∧ serued groues and ydoles. And then
came the wrath of God vpon Iuda and Ierusalem,
for this theyr trespaces sake. And he
sent prophetes to them, to bryng them agayne
vnto the Lorde. And they testifyed vnto
them: But they wolde not heare.
F And the spyrite of God came vpon Zacharia
þe; sonne of Iehoiada the preast, which
Amaziahu
stode by the people, ∧ sayde vnto them: Thus
sayth God: why transgresse ye the c&obar;maundementes
of the Lorde, þt; ye cannot prospere?
For because ye haue forsaken the Lord, he
also hath forsaken you. noteAnd they conspyred
agaynst him, and stoned him with stones
at the commaundement of the kynge: euen in
the courte of the house of the Lorde. And so
Ioas the kynge remembred not the kyndnes
which Iehoiada hys father had done to him,
but slue his sonne. And wh&ebar; he dyed, he sayd:
the Lorde loke vpon it, and requyre it.
G And when the yere was out, it fortuned,
that the host of Syria came vp agaynst him:
and they came agaynst Iuda ∧ Ierusalem,
and destroyed all þe; Lordes of the people fr&obar;
among the people, ∧ sent all the spoyle of th&ebar;
vnto the kyng to Damasco &wt; a small c&obar;panye
of men, ∧ the Lord deliuered a very great
hoste into their h&abar;de, because they had forsak&ebar;
þe; Lord God of theyr fathers. And morouer
they serued Ioas according to his dedes.
And whan they were departed from him,
they left him in great diseases ∧ note hys awne
serua&ubar;tes c&obar;spyred agaynst him for þe; bloude
of the chyldren of Iehoiada the preaste, and
slue hym on hys bed, and he dyed, ∧ they buryed
him in the cytie of Dauid: but not in the
sepulchres of the kynges. And these are they
that conspired agaynst him: Zebad the sonne
of Simeath an Ammonite, and Ihosabad
the sonne of Simrith a Moabite. And hys
sonnes, and the summe of the taxe that was
raysed in hys tyme, and the repayringe of the
house of God, beholde, they are written in þe;
storie of the boke of the kynges. And Amaziahu
hys sonne raynged in hys steade.
