2 Chronicles 24:15

Compare all

13 So the workmen labored, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it.

14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; ^athey made from it articles for the house of the Lord, articles for serving and offering, spoons and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.

Apostasy of Joash

15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old when he died.

16 And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and His house.

17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king listened to them.

18 Therefore they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served ^awooden images and idols; and ^bwrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.

19 Yet He ^asent prophets to them, to bring them back to the Lord; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.

20 Then the Spirit of God¹ came upon ^aZechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God: ^b‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? ^cBecause you have forsaken the Lord, He also has forsaken you.’ ”

21 So they conspired against him, and at the command of the king they ^astoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord.

22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, “The Lord look on it, and ^arepay!”

Death of Joash

23 So it happened in the spring of the year that ^athe army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their¹ spoil to the king of Damascus.

24 For the army of the Syrians ^acame with a small company of men; but the Lord ^bdelivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they ^cexecuted judgment against Joash.

25 And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), ^ahis own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the¹ sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

26 These are the ones who conspired against him:¹ Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

27 Now concerning his sons, and ^athe many oracles about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the¹ annals of the book of the kings. ^bThen Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
