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.”

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 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.”

He was buried among the kings in the City of David, because he had done so much good in Israel for God and his Temple.

All his life Joash did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

In the seventh year of Athaliah’s reign, Jehoiada the priest decided to act. He summoned his courage and made a pact with five army commanders: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zicri.

In the seventh year of Athaliah’s reign, Jehoiada the priest summoned the commanders, the Carite mercenaries, and the palace guards to come to the Temple of the Lord. He made a solemn pact with them and made them swear an oath of loyalty there in the Lord’s Temple; then he showed them the king’s son.

But Joab replied,“ May the Lord increase the number of his people a hundred times over! But why, my lord the king, do you want to do this? Are they not all your servants? Why must you cause Israel to sin?”

He summoned the priests and Levites and gave them these instructions:“ Go to all the towns of Judah and collect the required annual offerings, so that we can repair the Temple of your God. Do not delay!” But the Levites did not act immediately.So the king called for Jehoiada the high priest and asked him,“ Why haven’t you demanded that the Levites go out and collect the Temple taxes from the towns of Judah and from Jerusalem? Moses, the servant of the Lord, levied this tax on the community of Israel in order to maintain the Tabernacle of the Covenant.”Over the years the followers of wicked Athaliah had broken into the Temple of God, and they had used all the dedicated things from the Temple of the Lord to worship the images of Baal.So now the king ordered a chest to be made and set outside the gate leading to the Temple of the Lord.Then a proclamation was sent throughout Judah and Jerusalem, telling the people to bring to the Lord the tax that Moses, the servant of God, had required of the Israelites in the wilderness.This pleased all the leaders and the people, and they gladly brought their money and filled the chest with it.Whenever the chest became full, the Levites would carry it to the king’s officials. Then the court secretary and an officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and take it back to the Temple again. This went on day after day, and a large amount of money was collected.The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the construction supervisors, who hired masons and carpenters to restore the Temple of the Lord. They also hired metalworkers, who made articles of iron and bronze for the Lord’s Temple.The men in charge of the renovation worked hard and made steady progress. They restored the Temple of God according to its original design and strengthened it.When all the repairs were finished, they brought the remaining money to the king and Jehoiada. It was used to make various articles for the Temple of the Lord— articles for worship services and for burnt offerings, including ladles and other articles made of gold and silver. And the burnt offerings were sacrificed continually in the Temple of the Lord during the lifetime of Jehoiada the priest.
