2nd Kings 12:14-21

¹⁴For it was given to them that made the work, (so) that the temple of the Lord should be repaired.

¹⁵And reckoning was not made to these men that took the money, that they should deal it (out) to the craftsmen; but they treated, or spended, it in faith. (And no reckoning, or accounting, was done with the men who took the money, how they dealt it out to the craftsmen, for they did so by faith, or in trust.)

¹⁶Soothly they brought not into the temple of the Lord the money offered for trespass, and the money for sins, for it was the priests?.

¹⁷Then Hazael, king of Syria, went up, and fought against Gath; and he took it, and (ad)dressed his face, that he should ascend into Jerusalem. (Then Hazael, the king of Syria, went up, and fought against Gath; and he took it, and then directed his face, so that he would then go into Jerusalem.)

¹⁸Wherefore Joash, king of Judah, took all the hallowed things, that Jehoshaphat had hallowed, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the fathers of him, kings of Judah, and which things he had offered, and all the silver, that might be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the palace of the king. And he sent (these) to Hazael, king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem. (And so Joash, the king of Judah, took all the dedicated things, that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his forefathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and which things he had offered, and all the silver that was found in the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord, and in the king’s palace. And he sentthese things to Hazael, the king of Syria; and then Hazael went away from Jerusalem.)

¹⁹Soothly the residue of the words of Joash, and all things that he did, whether these be not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

²⁰And the servants of Joash rose (up), and swore together betwixt themselves, and smote Joash in the house of Millo, and in the going down of Silla (or at the going down, or the descent, to Silla).

²¹For Jozachar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he was dead (or and he died); and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Amaziah, his son, reigned for him.
