hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work;
for they dealt faithfully.
012:016 The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for
the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh:
it was the priests'.
012:017 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath,
and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
012:018 Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat
and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah,
had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold
that was found in the treasures of the house of Yahweh,
and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria:
and he went away from Jerusalem.
012:019 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did,
aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Judah?
012:020 His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash
at the house of Millo, [on the way] that goes down to Silla.
012:021 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son
of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died;
and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David:
and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
013:001 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah,
king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over
Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] seventeen years.

013:004 Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him;
for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king

and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.)
013:007 For he didn't leave to Jehoahaz of the people save fifty horsemen,
