Löydetty 2257 Tulokset: King Ahaz
Joash was seven years old when he became king and he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother was Zibiah of Beersheba. (2 Chronicles 24, 1)
so the king called Jehoiada for he was their head, and said, "Why have you not insisted on the Levites collecting from Judah and Jerusalem the tax which Moses, the servant of Yahweh, required the people to pay for the maintenance of the Tent of the Meeting? (2 Chronicles 24, 6)
So the king ordered them to make a chest and to place it outside the gate of Yahweh's House. (2 Chronicles 24, 8)
The chest was taken to the royal office of control by the Levites whenever they saw that there was a great amount of money in it. The king's secretary then came with representatives of the chief priest to take the chest, empty it of money and later return it to its place. They did this every day, and collected a large sum of money. (2 Chronicles 24, 11)
The king and Jehoiada gave the money to those who were in charge of repairing the House, and they hired men, masons and carpenters, who set about restoring Yahweh's House; craftsmen in iron and bronze also worked on the repairing of it. (2 Chronicles 24, 12)
When they had finished, they brought the balance of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and from this, furnishings were made for Yahweh's House, vessels for the liturgy and for the burnt offerings, incense boats and objects of gold and silver. So, for as long as Jehoiada lived they offered sacrifices regularly in Yahweh's House. (2 Chronicles 24, 14)
After the death of Jehoiada, the officials of Judah came to pay court to the king, and the king now turned to them for advice. (2 Chronicles 24, 17)
They then plotted against him and by order of the king stoned him in the court of Yahweh's House. (2 Chronicles 24, 21)
King Joash forgot the kindness of Jehoiada, the father of Zechariah, and killed Jehoiada's son who cried out as he died, "Let Yahweh see and do justice!" (2 Chronicles 24, 22)
When a year had gone by, the Aramaean army made war on Joash. They reached Judah and Jerusalem, and killed all the officials among the people, sending back to the king of Damascus all that they had plundered from them. (2 Chronicles 24, 23)
The Aramaeans wounded Joash and when they withdrew they left him a very sick man; and his officers, plotting against him to avenge the death of the son of Jehoiada the priest, murdered him in his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the City of David, though not in the tombs of the king. (2 Chronicles 24, 25)
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother was Hehoassan of Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 25, 1)
