Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:023:017 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it
down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew
Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
14:023:018 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD
by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had
distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt
offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses,
with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
14:023:019 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD,
that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
14:023:020 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the
governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and
brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they
came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the
king upon the throne of the kingdom.
14:023:021 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was
quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
14:024:001 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was
Zibiah of Beersheba.
14:024:002 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD
all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
14:024:003 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and
daughters.
14:024:004 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to
repair the house of the LORD.
14:024:005 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said
to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all
Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to
year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites
hastened it not.
14:024:006 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him,
Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of
Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the
commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the
congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
14:024:007 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the
house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house
of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.
14:024:008 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it
without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
14:024:009 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to
bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of
God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
