6 ♥ 📝 And the king^H4428 called^H7121 for Jehoiada^H3077 the chief,^H7218 and said^H559 unto him, Why hast thou not required^H1875 of the Levites^H3881 to bring in^H935 out of Judah^H3063 and out of Jerusalem^H3389 the tax^H4864 of Moses^H4872 the servant^H5650 of Jehovah,^H3068 and of the assembly^H6951 of Israel,^H3478 for the tent^H168 of the testimony?^H5715

12 ♥ 📝 And the king^H4428 and Jehoiada^H3077 gave^H5414 it to such as did^H6213 the work^H4399 of the service^H5656 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah;^H3068 and they hired^H7936 masons^H2672 and carpenters^H2796 to restore^H2318 the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 and also such as wrought^H2796 iron^H1270 and brass^H5178 to repair^H2388 the house^H1004 of Jehovah.^H3068

13 ♥ 📝 So the workmen^H4399 wrought,^H6213 and the work^H4399 of repairing^H5927 went forward^H724 in their hands,^H3027 and they set^H5975 up the house^H1004 of God^H430 in its state,^H4971 and strengthened^H553 it.

16 ♥ 📝 And they buried^H6912 him in the city^H5892 of David^H1732 among the kings,^H4428 because he had done^H6213 good^H2896 in Israel,^H3478 and toward God^H430 and his house.^H1004

17 ♥ 📝 Now after^H310 the death^H4194 of Jehoiada^H3077 came^H935 the princes^H8269 of Judah,^H3063 and made obeisance^H7812 to the king.^H4428 Then the king^H4428 hearkened^H8085 unto them.

18 ♥ 📝 And they forsook^H5800 the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 the God^H430 of their fathers,^H1 and served^H5647 the Asherim^H842 and the idols:^H6091 and wrath^H7110 came upon Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389 for this their guiltiness.^H819

19 ♥ 📝 Yet he sent^H7971 prophets^H5030 to them, to bring them again^H7725 unto Jehovah;^H3068 and they testified^H5749 against them: but they would not give ear.^H238

20 ♥ 📝 And the Spirit^H7307 of God^H430 came^H3847 upon Zechariah^H2148 the son^H1121 of Jehoiada^H3077 the priest;^H3548 and he stood^H5975 above the people,^H5971 and said^H559 unto them, Thus saith^H559 God,^H430 Why transgress^H5674 ye the commandments^H4687 of Jehovah,^H3068 so that ye cannot prosper?^H6743 because ye have forsaken^H5800 Jehovah,^H3068 he hath also forsaken^H5800 you.

22 ♥ 📝 Thus Joash^H3101 the king^H4428 remembered^H2142 not the kindness^H2617 which Jehoiada^H3077 his father^H1 had done^H6213 to him, but slew^H2026 his son.^H1121 And when he died,^H4194 he said,^H559 Jehovah^H3068 look^H7200 upon it, and require^H1875 it.

23 ♥ 📝 And it came to pass at the end^H8622 of the year,^H8141 that the army^H2428 of the Syrians^H758 came up^H5927 against him: and they came^H935 to Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem,^H3389 and destroyed^H7843 all the princes^H8269 of the people^H5971 from among the people,^H5971 and sent^H7971 all the spoil^H7998 of them unto the king^H4428 of Damascus.^H1834

24 ♥ 📝 For the army^H2428 of the Syrians^H758 came^H935 with a small^H4705 company of men;^H582 and Jehovah^H3068 delivered^H5414 a very^H3966 great^H7230 host^H2428 into their hand,^H3027 because they had forsaken^H5800 Jehovah,^H3068 the God^H430 of their fathers.^H1 So they executed^H6213 judgment^H8201 upon Joash.^H3101

25 ♥ 📝 And when they were departed^H3212 for him (for they left^H5800 him very^H7227 sick),^H4251 his own servants^H5650 conspired^H7194 against him for the blood^H1818 of the sons^H1121 of Jehoiada^H3077 the priest,^H3548 and slew^H2026 him on his bed,^H4296 and he died;^H4191 and they buried^H6912 him in the city^H5892 of David,^H1732 but they buried^H6912 him not in the sepulchres^H6913 of the kings.^H4428

26 ♥ 📝 And these are they that conspired^H7194 against him: Zabad^H2066 the son^H1121 of Shimeath^H8100 the Ammonitess,^H5985 and Jehozabad^H3075 the son^H1121 of Shimrith^H8116 the Moabitess.^H4125
