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.”

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。”

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。”

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。”

于是约阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和众祭司来，说：“你们为什么不修理圣殿毁坏的地方呢？现在不要向你们熟识的人收取银子，却要把所收的交出来，修理圣殿毁坏的地方。”

所以約阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和眾祭司來，對他們說：「你們怎麼不修理殿的破壞之處呢？從今以後，你們不要從所認識的人再收銀子，要將所收的交出來，修理殿的破壞之處。」

約阿施召來耶何耶大祭司及其他祭司，對他們說：「你們為什麼還不修殿呢？不要再向奉獻的人收銀子了，要把所收的銀子交出來修殿。」

於是約阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和眾祭司來，說：“你們為甚麼不修理聖殿毀壞的地方呢？現在不要向你們熟識的人收取銀子，卻要把所收的交出來，修理聖殿毀壞的地方。”

於是約阿施王把祭司耶何耶大和祭司們召了來，對他們說：『你們怎麼不修理聖殿破壞的地方呢？現在你們不要再從熟識的人收銀子了，乃要將所收的交出來，作修理破壞地方之用。』

故約阿施王召大祭司耶何耶大、與眾祭司、謂之曰、殿宇破壞、胡不修葺、今而後、勿復受相識者之金、宜出此金、修葺殿宇之破壞、

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 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.”

He was buried in the city of David with the kings because he had done what was good in Israel with respect to God and his temple.

Throughout the time the priest Jehoiada instructed him, Joash did what was right in the LORD’s sight.

Then, in the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned his courage and took the commanders of hundreds into a covenant with him: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.

In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards. He had them come to him in the LORD’s temple, where he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son

Joab replied,“ May the LORD multiply the number of his people a hundred times over! My lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”

So he gathered the priests and Levites and said,“ Go out to the cities of Judah and collect silver from all Israel to repair the temple of your God as needed year by year, and do it quickly.” However, the Levites did not hurry.So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said,“ Why haven’t you required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by the LORD’s servant Moses and the assembly of Israel for the tent of the testimony?For the sons of that wicked Athaliah broke into the LORD’s temple and even used the sacred things of the LORD’s temple for the Baals.”At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside the gate of the LORD’s temple.Then a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that the tax God’s servant Moses imposed on Israel in the wilderness be brought to the LORD.All the leaders and all the people rejoiced, brought the tax, and put it in the chest until it was full.Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers, and when they saw that there was a large amount of silver, the king’s secretary and the high priest’s deputy came and emptied the chest, picked it up, and returned it to its place. They did this daily and gathered the silver in abundance.Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those in charge of the labor on the LORD’s temple, who were hiring stonecutters and carpenters to renovate the LORD’s temple, also blacksmiths and coppersmiths to repair the LORD’s temple.The workmen did their work, and through them the repairs progressed. They restored God’s temple to its specifications and reinforced it.When they finished, they presented the rest of the silver to the king and Jehoiada, who made articles for the LORD’s temple with it— articles for ministry and for making burnt offerings, and ladles and articles of gold and silver. They regularly offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s temple throughout Jehoiada’s life.
