Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:024:010 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought
in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
14:024:011 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought
unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when
they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the
high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it,
and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day,
and gathered money in abundance.
14:024:012 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of
the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and
carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as
wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
14:024:013 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them,
and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened
it.
14:024:014 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the
money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels
for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to
offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And
they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD
continually all the days of Jehoiada.
14:024:015 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an
hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
14:024:016 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings,
because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and
toward his house.
14:024:017 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and
made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
14:024:018 And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and
served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and
Jerusalem for this their trespass.
14:024:019 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the
LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give
ear.
14:024:020 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada
the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them,
Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the
LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the
LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
14:024:021 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at
the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the
LORD.
14:024:022 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada
his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he
died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
