1In the seventh year of Yehu [Yehovah is He] Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother's name [was] Tzivyah [roe] of Be’er-sheva [Well of the sevenfold Oath]. 2And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all his days wherein Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest instructed him. 3But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

4And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] the money of everyone that passes [the account], the money that every man is set at, [and] all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), 5Let the priests take [it] to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) shall be found.

6But it was [so, that] in the three and twentieth year of king Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. 7Then king Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] called for Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest, and the [other] priests, and said unto them, Why repair you^2f not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no [more] money of those who contribute personally to you, but deliver it for the breaches of the house. 8And the priests consented to receive no [more] money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

9But Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] 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 comes into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and the priests that kept the door put in it all the money [that was] brought into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 10And 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 11And 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that worked upon the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), 12And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for all that was laid out for the house to repair [it]. 13However there were not made for the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money [that was] brought into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): 14But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired with that the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 15Moreover they did not require and accounting with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be given to the workmen: for they dealt honestly. 16The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): it belonged to the priests'.

17Then Haza’el [one who sees God] king of Aram (Syria) [exalted] went up, and fought against Gat [Winepress], and took it: and Haza’el [one who sees God] set his face to go up to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 18And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] took all the consecrated things that Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], and Y’horam [Yehovah is exalted], and Achazyah [Yehovah possesses], his fathers, kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], had dedicated, and his own consecrated things, and all the gold [that was] found in the treasures of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and in the king's house, and sent [it] to Haza’el [one who sees God] king of Aram (Syria) [exalted]: and he went away from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

19And the rest of the acts of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord], and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]? 20And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and killed Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] in the Beit-Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound] [House of the Fortification (defensive structure)], which goes down to Sila [a highway]. 21For Yozakhar [Yehovah remembers] the son of Shim’at [report], and Y’hozavad [Yehovah has endowed] the son of Shomer [keeper], his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David [beloved]: and Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] his son reigned in his stead.
