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。』

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。」

所以約阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和眾祭司來，對他們說：「你們怎麼不修理殿的破壞之處呢？現在，不要再從認識的人收銀子了，但要為了殿的破壞之處，把銀子交出來。」

所以約阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和眾祭司來，對他們說：「你們怎麼不修理殿的破壞之處呢？現在，不要再從認識的人收銀子了，但要為了殿的破壞之處，把銀子交出來。」

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。”

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、

故約轄王召祭司長耶何耶大、與眾祭司、告之曰、殿之所損者、胡為至今猶未修葺、今而後不許爾曹、為修葺殿宇之故、受同宗之金。

故約阿施召大祭司耶何耶大與眾祭司、謂之曰、殿宇破壞之處、爾何不修葺乎、自今以後、勿復受銀於相識者、此銀當用以修葺殿宇破壞之處、

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.”

人將他埋葬在大衛城裏，同諸王在一處；因為他在以色列中行了善事，並且對上帝和上帝的殿也有好的作為。

儘祭司耶何耶大指教他的日子，約阿施都行永恆主所看為對的事。

第七年耶何耶大奮勇自強，將百夫長耶羅罕的兒子亞撒利雅、約哈難的兒子以實瑪利、俄備得的兒子亞撒利雅、亞大雅的兒子瑪西雅、細基利的兒子以利沙法召了來，同他們立約。

第七年耶何耶大打發人去把傭兵迦利人的百夫長、和衛兵的百夫長、帶來，領他們進了永恆主的殿、到他那裏，就對他們立約，叫他們在永恆主殿裏起誓；然後將王的兒子指給他們看。

約押說：『願永恆主使他的人民比他們現在再增加一百倍。但我主我王啊，他們不都是我主的僕人麼？為甚麼我主強要這樣？為甚麼使以色列人陷於罪過呢！』

便集合了眾祭司和利未人，對他們說：『你們要出去、到猶大各城，從猶大眾人收集銀子，可以年年修理你們的上帝的殿；你們要迅速辦理這事。』只是利未人都不迅速地辦理。於是王把祭司長耶何耶大召了來，對他說：『你為甚麼不勅令利未人照永恆主僕人摩西為法櫃的會棚對以色列大眾所徵定的捐項從猶大和耶路撒冷帶來作修殿的費用呢？』這是因為那惡婦人亞他利雅的兒子們曾經闖進上帝的殿，將永恆主殿中分別為聖之物拿去供奉巴力。於是王吩咐一聲，人就作了一個櫃，放在永恆主的殿門外。王又在猶大和耶路撒冷發出布告，叫人將上帝僕人摩西在曠野吩咐以色列人徵獻的捐項帶來、奉給永恆主。眾首領和眾民都歡歡喜喜地帶來，投在櫃中，直到滿滿。負責人每逢把櫃子抬到王的辦公室由利未人經手檢點，他們若見銀子多了，王的祕書和祭司長的委員、總來，將櫃倒光，整理整理，放回原處：天天都這樣作，收集了銀子很多。王和耶何耶大將銀子交給永恆主殿裏辦事的人，辦事人就雇了鑿石人和匠人來重新修造永恆主的殿，也雇了鐵匠銅匠來修理永恆主的殿。作工的人一直地作工，修復的工作在他們手下順序地進行；他們將上帝的殿重立其舊觀，並使它很堅固。既作完了，他們就把剩下的銀子送到王和耶何耶大面前；銀子就用來製造永恆主殿裏的器皿、供奉和獻祭的器皿、碟子、金銀的器皿。儘耶何耶大在世的日子、眾人都不斷在永恆主殿裏獻上燔祭。
