Síðari bók konunganna 12
Icelandic Bible
12 Á sjöunda ríkisári Jehú varð Jóas konungur, og fjörutíu ár ríkti hann í Jerúsalem. Móðir hans hét Sibja og var frá Beerseba.
2 Jóas gjörði það, sem rétt var í augum Drottins alla ævi sína, af því að Jójada prestur hafði kennt honum.
3 Þó voru fórnarhæðirnar ekki afnumdar. Enn þá fórnaði lýðurinn sláturfórnum og reykelsisfórnum á hæðunum.
4 Og Jóas sagði við prestana: "Allt fé, sem borið er í musteri Drottins sem helgigjafir, fé, sem lagt er á einhvern eftir mati _ fé, sem menn eru metnir eftir _ svo og allt það fé, sem einhver af eigin hvötum ber í musteri Drottins,
5 skulu prestarnir taka til sín, hver af sínum ráðunaut. En þeir skulu og með því gjöra við skemmdir á musterinu, allar skemmdir, sem á því finnast."
6 En á tuttugasta og þriðja ríkisári Jóasar konungs höfðu prestarnir enn ekki gjört við skemmdir á musterinu.
7 Þá lét Jóas konungur kalla Jójada yfirprest og hina prestana og mælti til þeirra: "Hvers vegna gjörið þér ekki við skemmdir á musterinu? Nú skuluð þér eigi framar taka við neinu fé af ráðunautum yðar, heldur skuluð þér láta það af hendi fyrir skemmdum á musterinu."
8 Og prestarnir gengu að þeim kostum að taka ekki við fé af lýðnum, en vera og eigi skyldir að gjöra við skemmdir á musterinu.
9 Síðan tók Jójada prestur kistu nokkra, boraði gat á lokið og setti hana hjá altarinu, hægra megin, þegar gengið er inn í musteri Drottins, og létu prestarnir, þeir er geymdu inngöngudyra, í hana allt það fé, er borið var í musteri Drottins.
10 Og er þeir sáu, að mikið fé var komið í kistuna, kom kanslari konungs þangað og æðsti presturinn, og bundu þeir saman allt fé, sem fannst í musteri Drottins, og töldu það.
11 Fengu þeir síðan féð, er vegið hafði verið, verkstjórunum í hendur, þeim er höfðu umsjón með musteri Drottins, en þeir greiddu það trésmiðunum og byggingamönnunum, er störfuðu við musteri Drottins,
12 svo og múrurunum og steinsmiðunum og til þess að kaupa fyrir við og höggna steina til þess að gjöra við skemmdir á musteri Drottins, og til alls sem borga þurfti fyrir viðgjörð á musterinu.
13 Þó voru eigi gjörðir neinir silfurkatlar, skarbítar, fórnarskálar, lúðrar né nokkurs konar áhöld úr gulli eða silfri í musteri Drottins, af fé því, sem borið var í musteri Drottins,
14 heldur fengu menn það verkamönnunum, til þess að þeir fyrir það gjörðu við musteri Drottins.
15 En ekki héldu menn reikning við menn þá, er þeir fengu féð í hendur, til þess að þeir greiddu það verkamönnunum, heldur gjörðu þeir það upp á æru og trú.
16 En sektarfórnarféð og syndafórnarféð var eigi borið í musteri Drottins. Það áttu prestarnir.
17 Um þær mundir kom Hasael Sýrlandskonungur, herjaði á Gat og vann hana. En er Hasael ætlaði að fara til Jerúsalem,
18 þá tók Jóas Júdakonungur allar helgigjafir þær, er þeir Jósafat, Jóram og Ahasía forfeður hans, Júdakonungar, höfðu helgað, svo og helgigjafir sínar og allt gullið, er til var í fjárhirslum musteris Drottins og konungshallarinnar, og sendi það Hasael Sýrlandskonungi. Hætti hann þá við að fara til Jerúsalem.
19 En það sem meira er að segja um Jóas og allt, sem hann gjörði, það er ritað í Árbókum Júdakonunga.
20 Þjónar Jóasar hófust handa, gjörðu samsæri og drápu Jóas í Milló-húsi, þar sem gatan liggur niður til Silla.
21 Þeir Jósakar Símeatsson og Jósabad Sómersson, þjónar hans, unnu á honum, og hann var grafinn hjá feðrum sínum í Davíðsborg. Og Amasía sonur hans tók ríki eftir hann.

Joash Repairs the Temple(A)
12 [a]In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash[b](B) became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba. 2 Joash did what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 3 The high places,(D) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
4 Joash said to the priests, “Collect(E) all the money that is brought as sacred offerings(F) to the temple of the Lord—the money collected in the census,(G) the money received from personal vows and the money brought voluntarily(H) to the temple. 5 Let every priest receive the money from one of the treasurers, then use it to repair(I) whatever damage is found in the temple.”
6 But by the twenty-third year of King Joash the priests still had not repaired the temple. 7 Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple.” 8 The priests agreed that they would not collect any more money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the Lord. The priests who guarded the entrance(J) put into the chest all the money(K) that was brought to the temple of the Lord. 10 Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary(L) and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord and put it into bags. 11 When the amount had been determined, they gave the money to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. With it they paid those who worked on the temple of the Lord—the carpenters and builders, 12 the masons and stonecutters.(M) They purchased timber and blocks of dressed stone for the repair of the temple of the Lord, and met all the other expenses of restoring the temple.
13 The money brought into the temple was not spent for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets or any other articles of gold(N) or silver for the temple of the Lord; 14 it was paid to the workers, who used it to repair the temple. 15 They did not require an accounting from those to whom they gave the money to pay the workers, because they acted with complete honesty.(O) 16 The money from the guilt offerings(P) and sin offerings[c](Q) was not brought into the temple of the Lord; it belonged(R) to the priests.
17 About this time Hazael(S) king of Aram went up and attacked Gath and captured it. Then he turned to attack Jerusalem. 18 But Joash king of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his predecessors—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—and the gifts he himself had dedicated and all the gold found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and of the royal palace, and he sent(T) them to Hazael king of Aram, who then withdrew(U) from Jerusalem.
19 As for the other events of the reign of Joash, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 His officials(V) conspired against him and assassinated(W) him at Beth Millo,(X) on the road down to Silla. 21 The officials who murdered him were Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer. He died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. And Amaziah his son succeeded him as king.

King James Version
12 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.
2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
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,
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.
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.
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.
8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
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.
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.
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,
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.
13 Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord 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:
14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
15 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
16 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the Lord: it was the priests'.
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.
18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
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 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
21 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
