Chap. XII.
Ioas vvilleth the priestes to repair vvhat needeth in the temple, receiuing al the
money offered there. 6. vvhich they not performing, the high priest promideth
that al is amended, 16. the priestes receiuing only the money due to
themselues. 17. Hazael king of Syria taking Geth, and threatning Ierusalem
is pacified vvith money. 19. Ioas is trattarously slaine by his seruantes,
and his sonne Amasias reigneth.
1 In the seuenth yeare of Iehu reigned Ioas: and he reigned
fourtie yeares in Ierusalem The name of his mother was
Sebia of Bersabee.
2 And Ioas did right before our Lord al
the daies, that Ioiada the priest taught him.
3 But yet the excelses
he tooke not away: for the people immolated & burnt
incense in the excelfes.
4 And Ioas sayd to the priestes: Al
the money of the sanctified thinges, which is brought into
the temple of our Lord by the passengers, which is offered for
the note price of a soule, and which of their owne accord, and of
their owne free hart they bring into the temple of our Lord:
5 let the priestes take it according to their order, and maynteine
reparations of the house, if they shal see any thing that
needeth reparation.
6 Therfore vntil the three and twenteth
yeare of king Ioas, the priestes did not make reparations of
the temple.
7 And king Ioas called Ioiada the high priest and
the priestes, saying to them: Why make you not the reparations
of the temple? Take you therfore money no more according
to your order, but render it to the reparation of the
temple.
8 And the priestes were prohibited to take money
anie more of the people, and to make the reparations of the
temple.
9 And Ioiada the high priest tooke note a treasurie, and
opened a hole in the toppe, and sette it by the altar at the
right hand of them that goe into the house of our Lord, and
the priestes that kept the doores, did cast into it al the money,
that was brought to the temple of our Lord.
10 And when
they saw that there was very much money in the treasurie, the
-- --
Of Iuda Ioas.
kinges scribe, and the high priest went vp, and powred it out,
and counted the money, that was sound in the house of our
Lord:
11 and they gaue it according to number and measure
into their hand, which did ouersee the masons of the house
of our Lord: who bestowed it on carpenters, and on masons,
such as wrought in the house of our Lord,
12 and made reparations:
and on them that hewed stones, and that they should
bye trees, and stones, that were hewed, so that the reparation
of the house of our Lord was accomplished in al thinges,
which had neede of cost to vphold the house.
13 But yet there
were not made of the same money the watter pottes of the
temple of our Lord, and the fleshhookes, and censars, and
trumpets, and euerie vessel of gold and siluer, of the money,
that was brought into the temple of our Lord.
14 For it was
geuen them that did the worke, that the temple of our Lord
might be repayred:
15 and there was no account made with
those men, that receiued the money to distribute it to the
craftes men, but vpon their fidelitie they bestowed it.
16 But
the money for offence, & the money for sinnes, they brought
not into the temple of our Lord, because it was the priestes.
17 Then Hazael the king of Syria went vp, and fought agaynst
Geth, and tooke it: and directed his face to goe vp to Ierusalem.
18 For which cause Ioas the king of Iuda tooke al the
sanctified thinges, which Iosaphat, and Ioram, and Ochozias
his fathers the kinges of Iuda had note consecrated, and which
him self had offered: and al the siluer, that could be found in
the treasures of the temple of our Lord, and in the kinges palace:
and sent it to Hazael the king of Syria, and he retyred
from Ierusalem.
19 But the rest of the wordes of Ioas, and al
that he did, are not these thinges writen in the Booke of the
wordes of the daies of the kinges of Iuda?
20 And his seruantes
arose, and conspired among them selues, and stroke Ioas in
the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
21 For Iosachar the
sonne of Semaath, and Iozabad the sonne of Somer his seruantes,
stroke him, and he died: and they buried him with
his fathers in note the citie of Dauid, and Amasias his sonne
reigned for him.
