Joash (Jehoash) Reigns over Judah | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. | 1 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. | 1 Joash began to rule in Jehu's seventh year as king of Israel, and he ruled for 40 years in Jerusalem. His mother was Zibiah from Beersheba. | 1 In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. | 1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. | 2 Jehoash did right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. | 2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. | 2 Joash did what the LORD considered right, as long as the priest Jehoiada instructed him. | 2 Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. | 2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, all the days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. | 3 Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. | 3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | 3 But the illegal places of worship weren't torn down. The people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at these worship sites. | 3 However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | 3 Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. | The Temple to Be Repaired |
| 4 Then Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the sacred things which is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, both the money of each man's assessment and all the money which any man's heart prompts him to bring into the house of the LORD, | 4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD, | 4 Joash told the priests, "[Collect] all the holy contributions that are brought into the LORD's temple-the money each person is currently required to bring and all the money brought voluntarily to the LORD's temple. | 4 Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Yahweh, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Yahweh, | 4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, the money of every one that passes the account, the money at which every man is valued, and all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah, | 5 let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever any damage may be found." | 5 Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found. | 5 Each of the priests should receive it from the donors and use it to make repairs on the temple where they are needed." | 5 let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found." | 5 let the priests take it, every man of his acquaintance; and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach is found. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 But it came about that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damages of the house. | 6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. | 6 But by Joash's twenty-third year as king, the priests still had not repaired the temple. | 6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. | 6 And it was so that in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. | 7 Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests and said to them, "Why do you not repair the damages of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintances, but pay it for the damages of the house." | 7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house. | 7 So King Joash called for Jehoiada and the other priests and asked them, "Why aren't you repairing the damage in the temple? Don't take any more money from the donors [for your own use]. Instead, use it to make repairs on the temple." | 7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the [other] priests, and said to them, "Why don't you repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house." | 7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to them, Why have ye not repaired the breaches of the house? And now receive no money of your acquaintances, but give it for the breaches of the house. | 8 So the priests agreed that they would take no more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the house. | 8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house. | 8 The priests agreed neither to receive money from the people [for personal use] nor to be responsible for repairing the temple. | 8 The priests consented that they should take no [more] money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house. | 8 And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, and that they should only repair the breaches of the house. | 9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid and put it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the LORD; and the priests who guarded the threshold put in it all the money which was brought into the house of the LORD. | 9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD. | 9 Then the priest Jehoiada took a box, drilled a hole in its lid, and put it at the right side of the altar as one comes into the LORD's temple. The priests who guarded the entrance put the money that was brought to the LORD's temple in the box. | 9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh: and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh. | 9 And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah; and the priests that kept the door put into it all the money brought into the house of Jehovah. | 10 When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came up and tied it in bags and counted the money which was found in the house of the LORD. | 10 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD. | 10 Whenever they saw a lot of money in the box, the king's scribe and the chief priest would collect and count the money that was donated in the LORD's temple. | 10 It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Yahweh. | 10 And it came to pass when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 They gave the money which was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the house of the LORD; | 11 And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD, | 11 Then they would give the money that had been weighed to the men who had been appointed to work on the LORD's temple. They used it to pay the carpenters, builders, | 11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Yahweh, | 11 And they gave the money, weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, who were appointed over the house of Jehovah; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of Jehovah, | 12 and to the masons and the stonecutters, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the damages to the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. | 12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. | 12 masons, and stonecutters. They also used it to buy wood and cut stones to make repairs on the LORD's temple and to buy anything else that they needed for the temple repairs. | 12 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yahweh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. | 12 and to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that had to be laid out on the house for repairs. | 13 But there were not made for the house of the LORD silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver from the money which was brought into the house of the LORD; | 13 Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD: | 13 But no silver bowls, snuffers, dishes, trumpets, or any other gold and silver utensils were made for the LORD's temple with the money that was brought. | 13 But there were not made for the house of Yahweh cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh; | 13 However there were not made for the house of Jehovah basons of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor any utensil of gold or utensil of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah; | 14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD. | 14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD. | 14 Instead, the money was given to the workmen, and they used it to repair the temple. | 14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Yahweh. | 14 but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the house of Jehovah with it. | 15 Moreover, they did not require an accounting from the men into whose hand they gave the money to pay to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully. | 15 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. | 15 They didn't require the men who were entrusted with the money for the workers to give an account, because they were honest people. | 15 Moreover they didn't demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully. | 15 And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they dealt faithfully. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 The money from the guilt offerings and the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was for the priests. | 16 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'. | 16 The money from the guilt offerings and the offerings for sin was not brought into the LORD's temple. It belonged to the priests. | 16 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'. | 16 The money of trespass-offerings, and the money of sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was for the priests. | 17 Then Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and captured it, and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. | 17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. | 17 At this time King Hazael of Aram fought against Gath and conquered it.

| 19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? | 19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | 19 Isn't everything else about Joash-everything he did-written in the official records of the kings of Judah? | 19 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? | 19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | 20 His servants arose and made a conspiracy and struck down Joash at the house of Millo as he was going down to Silla. | 20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla. | 20 His own officials plotted against him and killed him at Beth Millo on the road that goes down to Silla. | 20 His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, [on the way] that goes down to Silla. | 20 And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash in the house of Millo, at the descent of Silla. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
