2 Kings 12:14-21

¹⁴for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,

¹⁵and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they are dealing.

¹⁶The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah — for the priests it is.

¹⁷Then go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up against Jerusalem;

¹⁸and Jehoash king of Judah taketh all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the house of the king, and sendeth to Hazael king of Aram, and he goeth up from off Jerusalem.

¹⁹And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁰And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla:

²¹yea, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have smitten him, and he dieth, and they bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Amaziah his son, in his stead.
