约阿施召来耶何耶大祭司及其他祭司，对他们说：“你们为什么还不修殿呢？不要再向奉献的人收银子了，要把所收的银子交出来修殿。”

所以约阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和众祭司来，对他们说：“你们怎么不修理殿的破坏之处呢？从今以后，你们不要从所认识的人再收银子，要将所收的交出来，修理殿的破坏之处。”

所以约阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和众祭司来，对他们说：“你们怎么不修理殿的破坏之处呢？现在，不要再从认识的人收银子了，但要为了殿的破坏之处，把银子交出来。”

Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them,“ Why aren’t you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple.”

So the king sent for Jehoiada the priest and the other priests. He asked them,“ Why aren’t you repairing the temple where it needs it? Don’t take any more money from the people in charge of the treasures. Instead, hand it over so the temple can be repaired.”

Therefore King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said to them,“ Why are you not repairing the house? Now therefore take no more money from your donors, but hand it over for the repair of the house.”

So King Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and asked them,“ Why haven’t you repaired the Temple? Don’t use any more money for your own needs. From now on, it must all be spent on Temple repairs.”

So King Joash called the priest Jehoiada and the other priests and asked,“ Why haven’t you repaired the temple’s damage? Since you haven’t, don’t take any silver from your assessors; instead, hand it over for the repair of the temple.”

So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them,“ Why do you not repair damage to the house? Now then, you are not to take any more money from your acquaintances, but give it up for the damage to the house.”

So King Jehoash called Jehoiada the priest and the other priests, and said to them,“ Why have you not repaired the damages of the temple? Now therefore, do not take more money from your constituency, but deliver it for repairing the damages of the temple.”

Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore take no more money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

So King Joash called Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and said,“ Why haven’t you repaired the temple’s damage? Since you haven’t, don’t take any money from your assessors; instead, hand it over for the repair of the temple.”

Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the[ other] priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no[ more] money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest along with the other priests, and said to them,“ Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, take no more silver from your treasurers unless you intend to use it to repair the damage.”

Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them,“ Why don’t you repair the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”

民众把他葬在大卫城的王陵里，因为他在以色列为上帝和上帝的殿做了美善的事。

在耶何耶大祭司的教导下，约阿施一生做耶和华视为正的事。

第七年，耶何耶大发愤图强，召来一些百夫长与他们立约。他们是耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅，约哈难的儿子以实玛利，俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅，亚大雅的儿子玛西雅，以及细基利的儿子以利法。

第七年，耶何耶大派人召迦利人和卫兵的百夫长们到耶和华的殿里，与他们立约，让他们在耶和华的殿里起誓，然后把约阿施王子带到他们面前。

约押说：“愿耶和华使祂子民的人数比现在增加百倍。但我主我王啊，他们不都是你的仆人吗？我主为什么要这样做，使以色列人陷于罪中呢？”

便召集祭司和利未人，对他们说：“你们到犹大各城去向所有以色列人征收银子，用来作每年整修你们上帝殿的费用。你们要立刻办理这事。”可是，利未人没有立刻办理。王就召来耶何耶大大祭司，问他：“你为什么不吩咐利未人到耶路撒冷和犹大去收税呢？这税是耶和华的仆人摩西和以色列的会众定的，以备圣幕之用。”因为恶妇亚她利雅的爪牙曾闯入耶和华上帝的殿，拿殿里的圣物去供奉巴力。于是，王下令造一个箱子，放在耶和华殿的门外，通告犹大和耶路撒冷的人民要将上帝的仆人摩西在旷野为以色列人定的税带来献给耶和华。全体首领和民众都高高兴兴地把银子带来投进箱子里，直到箱子满了。利未人见箱子满了，就抬到王的官员那里。王的书记和大祭司的属下会把箱子倒空，然后把箱子放回原处。日复一日，他们收了很多银子。王与耶何耶大把银子交给耶和华殿里的办事人员，他们就雇用石匠、木匠、铁匠和铜匠来整修耶和华的殿。工人辛勤整修，工程进展顺利，上帝的殿恢复了原貌，而且非常坚固。完工后，他们把剩余的银子交给王与耶何耶大，这些银子被用来制造耶和华殿里的器具：供奉和献祭用的器皿、碟子和其他金银器皿。耶何耶大在世之日，民众常在耶和华的殿里献燔祭。
