24:11. And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the
hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's
scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they
poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the
chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was
gathered an immense sum of money.
24:12. And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works
of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and
artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and
such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
24:13. And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was
closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its
former state, and made it stand firm.
24:14. And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest
of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels
for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other
vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of
the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.

and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for
this sin.
24:19. And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and
they would not give ear when they testified against them.
24:20. The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the
priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus
saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which
will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him
forsake you?
24:21. And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him
at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
24:22. And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his
father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said:
The Lord see, and require it.
24:23. And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against
him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of
the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.

Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had
forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed
shameful judgments.

under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more
diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his
stead.

Amasias' reign: he beginneth well, but endeth ill: he is overthrown by
Joas, and slain by his people.
25:1. Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and

was Joadan of Jerusalem.
