1 When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].

2 All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.

3 But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].

4 Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.

5 Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”

and to be in/on/with year twenty and three year to/for king Jehoash not to strengthen: strengthen [the] priest [obj] breach [the] house: home
7 So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”
and to call: call to [the] king Jehoash to/for Jehoiada [the] priest and to/for priest and to say to(wards) them why? nothing you to strengthen: strengthen [obj] breach [the] house: home and now not to take: take silver: money from with acquaintance your for to/for breach [the] house: home to give: give him

9 Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.
and to take: take Jehoiada [the] priest ark one and to pierce hole in/on/with door his and to give: put [obj] him beside [the] altar (from right *Q(K)*) in/on/with to come (in): come man: anyone house: temple LORD and to give: put there [to] [the] priest to keep: guard [the] threshold [obj] all [the] silver: money [the] to come (in): bring house: temple LORD
10 Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.

11 Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,
and to give: give [obj] [the] silver: money [the] to measure upon (hand *Q(K)*) to make: [do] [the] work ([the] to reckon: overseer *Q(K)*) house: temple LORD and to come out: send him to/for artificer [the] tree: carpenter and to/for to build [the] to make: do house: temple LORD
12 and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.

14 All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.

15 The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.
and not to devise: count with [the] human which to give: give [obj] [the] silver: money upon hand their to/for to give: pay to/for to make: do [the] work for in/on/with faithfulness they(masc.) to make: do

17 At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.
then to ascend: rise Hazael king Syria and to fight upon Gath and to capture her and to set: make Hazael face his to/for to ascend: rise upon Jerusalem
18 So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.

20 Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
