1 In the seventh year of Jehu, aJehoash became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days in which aJehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 But athe high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, a“All the money of the dedicated gifts that are brought into the house of the Lord—each man’s bcensus money, each man’s cassessment money—and all the money that2 a man dpurposes in his heart to bring into the house of the Lord,
5 let the priests take it themselves, each from his constituency; and let them repair the1 damages of the temple, wherever any dilapidation is found.”
