유다의 8대 왕 요아스
24 요아스는 7세에 왕위에 올라 예루살렘에서 40년을 통치하였다. 그 리고 그의 어머니는 브엘세바 사람 시비아였다.
2 요아스는 제사장 여호야다가 사는 날 동안 여호와께서 보시기에 옳은 일을 하였다.
3 여호야다가 요아스에게 두 아내를 구해 주었으므로 그에게는 여러 자녀가 있었다.
4 그 후에 요아스는 성전을 수리하기로 작정하고
5 제사장들과 레위 사람들을 불러 놓고 이렇게 지시하였다. “여러분은 유다의 모든 성으로 가서 해마다 성전을 수리할 비용을 거두어들이시오. 지체하지 말고 당장 이 일을 수행해야 합니다.” 그러나 레위 사람들은 그 일을 즉시 하지 않고 시간을 끌었다.
6 그래서 왕은 대제사장 여호야다를 불러 “당신은 어째서 레위 사람들에게 지시하여 하나님의 종 모세가 이스라엘 백성에게 부과한 성전세를 유다와 예루살렘에서 거두어들이지 않았소?” 하고 따졌다.
7 악한 아달랴의 [a]추종자들이 성전을 파괴하고 많은 성전 비품을 바알 신전으로 가져갔다.
8 그래서 왕은 상자 하나를 만들어 성전 문 밖에 두게 하고
9 유다와 예루살렘 모든 성에 공포하여 백성들에게 하나님의 종 모세가 이스라엘에 부과한 세금을 여호와께 바치라고 호소하였다.
10 그러자 모든 지도자들과 백성들은 기쁜 마음으로 돈을 가져와 그 헌금함이 차고 넘칠 때까지 던져 넣었다.
11 그리고 헌금함에 돈이 가득 찰 때마다 레위 사람들이 그 헌금함을 궁중 담당관에게 메고 갔다. 그러면 궁중 서기관과 대제사장의 [b]비서가 그 돈을 계산하고 헌금함은 다시 제자리에 갖다 두었다. 이렇게 하여 그들은 많은 돈을 거둬들였다.
12 왕과 여호야다는 성전 수리 담당자들에게 그 돈을 주었으며 그들은 석수와 목수와 철공을 고용하여 성전을 수리하기 시작하였다.
13 모든 인부들이 열심히 일한 덕택에 성전 수리 공사는 잘 진척되어 성전은 본래의 모습을 되찾게 되었다.
14 그들은 성전 수리를 끝내고 남은 돈을 왕과 여호야다에게 가져왔는데 그 돈으로 제사지낼 때 쓰는 금은 숟가락과 그릇들을 만들었다. 그리고 그들은 여호야다가 살아 있는 동안 성전에서 항상 번제를 드렸다.
15 여호야다는 오랫동안 살다가 늙어 130세에 죽었다.
16 백성들은 이스라엘과 하나님과 성전을 위해 그가 행한 업적을 생각하여 그를 다윗성에 있는 왕들의 묘에 장사하였다.
17 그러나 여호야다가 죽은 후에 유다의 지도자들이 요아스왕을 설득하여 자기들의 말을 듣도록 하였다.
18 그러자 백성들은 그들 조상의 하나님 여호와의 성전에서 예배하는 일을 중단하고 대신 우상과 아세라 여신상을 섬기기 시작하였다. 그래서 그들이 범한 이 죄로 유다와 예루살렘은 하나님의 분노를 사게 되었다.
19 여호와께서는 예언자들을 그들에게 보내 자기에게 돌아오라고 경고하였으나 백성들은 듣지 않았다.
20 그때 하나님의 성령께서 제사장 여호야다의 아들 스가랴를 감동시키시자 그는 백성들이 볼 수 있는 높은 곳에 서서 이렇게 외쳤다. “여호와께서는 왜 여러분이 그의 명령에 불순종하고 스스로 불행을 초래하는지 묻고 계십니다. 여러분이 여호와를 버렸으므로 여호와께서도 여러분을 버리셨습니다!”
21 그러나 백성들은 자기들의 음모에 가담한 요아스왕의 명령에 따라 성전 뜰에서 스가랴를 돌로 쳐죽였다.
22 이와 같이 요아스왕은 스가랴의 아버지 여호야다가 자기에게 베푼 은혜를 잊어버리고 그의 아들을 죽이고 말았다. 스가랴는 죽을 때에 “여호와여, 이것을 보시고 저들의 소행을 갚아 주소서” 하고 외쳤다.
23 몇 달 후에 시리아군이 유다와 예루살렘을 침략하여 나라의 모든 지도자들을 죽이고 수많은 전리품을 다마스커스에 있는 그들의 왕에게 보냈다.
24 시리아군은 소수의 병력에 불과했으나 여호와께서는 그들이 대군과 맞서 싸워 승리를 얻게 하셨다. 이것은 유다 백성이 그들 조상의 하나님 여호와를 저버렸기 때문이었다. 이렇게 해서 하나님은 요아스왕을 심판하셨다.
25 시리아군은 철수하면서 요아스에게 큰 부상을 입혔다. 그들이 떠난 후에 그의 신하 중 두 사람이 제사장 여호야다의 아들을 죽인 것에 대한 보복으로 왕을 죽일 음모를 꾸며 침대에 누워 있는 그를 쳐죽였다. 그는 다윗성에 장사되었으나 왕들의 묘에는 장사되지 않았다.
26 이 사건에 관련된 사람은 암몬 여자 시므앗의 아들 사밧과 모압 여자 시므릿의 아들 여호사밧이었다.
27 요아스의 아들들에 관한 일과 요아스에 대한 예언과 성전 수리 공사에 대한 이야기는 다 열왕기 주석에 기록되어 있다. 요아스가 죽은 후에 그의 아들 아마샤가 왕위를 계승하였다.
2 Chronicles 24
English Standard Version
Joash Repairs the Temple
24 (A)Joash[a] was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. 2 (B)And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 3 Jehoiada got for him two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
4 After this Joash (C)decided to (D)restore the house of the Lord. 5 And he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of (E)Judah and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you act quickly.” But the Levites did not act quickly. 6 So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem (F)the tax levied by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the congregation of Israel for (G)the tent of testimony?” 7 For (H)the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also used all (I)the dedicated things of the house of the Lord for the Baals.
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest and set it outside the gate of the house of the Lord. 9 And (J)proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring in for the Lord (K)the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness. 10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.[b] 11 And whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the Levites, when they saw that there was much money in it, the king's secretary and the officer of the chief priest would come and empty the chest and take it and return it to its place. Thus they did day after day, and collected money in abundance. 12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who had charge of the work of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the Lord, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the Lord. 13 So those who were engaged in the work labored, and the repairing went forward in their hands, and they restored the house of God to its proper condition and strengthened it. 14 And when they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and with it (L)were made utensils for the house of the Lord, both for the service and for the burnt offerings, and dishes for incense and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord regularly all the days of Jehoiada.
15 But Jehoiada grew old and full of days, and died. He was 130 years old at his death. 16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and paid homage to the king. Then the king listened to them. 18 And they abandoned the house of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and served (M)the Asherim and the idols. And (N)wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs. 19 (O)Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord. (P)These testified against them, but they would not pay attention.
Joash's Treachery
20 (Q)Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah (R)the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, (S)‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? (T)Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’” 21 But (U)they conspired against him, (V)and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. 22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see (W)and avenge!”[c]
Joash Assassinated
23 At the end of the year (X)the army of the Syrians came up against Joash. They came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus. 24 Though the army of the Syrians had come with few men, (Y)the Lord delivered into their hand a very great army, (Z)because Judah[d] had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Thus they (AA)executed judgment on Joash.
25 When they had departed from him, leaving him (AB)severely wounded, (AC)his servants conspired against him because of the blood of (AD)the son[e] of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, (AE)but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings. 26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonite, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabite. 27 Accounts of his sons and of the many oracles against him and of (AF)the rebuilding[f] of the house of God are written in the (AG)Story[g] of the Book of the Kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

Joash Repairs the Temple(A)(B)
24 Joash was seven years old when he 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 in the eyes of the Lord(C) all the years of Jehoiada the priest. 3 Jehoiada chose two wives for him, and he had sons and daughters.
4 Some time later Joash decided to restore the temple of the Lord. 5 He called together the priests and Levites and said to them, “Go to the towns of Judah and collect the money(D) due annually from all Israel,(E) to repair the temple of your God. Do it now.” But the Levites(F) did not act at once.
6 Therefore the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, “Why haven’t you required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the Lord and by the assembly of Israel for the tent of the covenant law?”(G)
7 Now the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the temple of God and had used even its sacred objects for the Baals.
8 At the king’s command, a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the temple of the Lord. 9 A proclamation was then issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they should bring to the Lord the tax that Moses the servant of God had required of Israel in the wilderness. 10 All the officials and all the people brought their contributions gladly,(H) dropping them into the chest until it was full. 11 Whenever the chest was brought in by the Levites to the king’s officials and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal secretary and the officer of the chief priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this regularly and collected a great amount of money. 12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who carried out the work required for the temple of the Lord. They hired(I) masons and carpenters to restore the Lord’s temple, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the temple.
13 The men in charge of the work were diligent, and the repairs progressed under them. They rebuilt the temple of God according to its original design and reinforced it. 14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and with it were made articles for the Lord’s temple: articles for the service and for the burnt offerings, and also dishes and other objects of gold and silver. As long as Jehoiada lived, burnt offerings were presented continually in the temple of the Lord.
15 Now Jehoiada was old and full of years, and he died at the age of a hundred and thirty. 16 He was buried with the kings in the City of David, because of the good he had done in Israel for God and his temple.
The Wickedness of Joash
17 After the death of Jehoiada, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them. 18 They abandoned(J) the temple of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and worshiped Asherah poles and idols.(K) Because of their guilt, God’s anger(L) came on Judah and Jerusalem. 19 Although the Lord sent prophets to the people to bring them back to him, and though they testified against them, they would not listen.(M)
20 Then the Spirit(N) of God came on Zechariah(O) son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands? You will not prosper.(P) Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken(Q) you.’”
21 But they plotted against him, and by order of the king they stoned(R) him to death(S) in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple.(T) 22 King Joash did not remember the kindness Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had shown him but killed his son, who said as he lay dying, “May the Lord see this and call you to account.”(U)
23 At the turn of the year,[a] the army of Aram marched against Joash; it invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people.(V) They sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus. 24 Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men,(W) the Lord delivered into their hands a much larger army.(X) Because Judah had forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, judgment was executed on Joash. 25 When the Arameans withdrew, they left Joash severely wounded. His officials conspired against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. So he died and was buried(Y) in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad,[b] son of Shimeath an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith[c](Z) a Moabite woman.(AA) 27 The account of his sons, the many prophecies about him, and the record of the restoration of the temple of God are written in the annotations on the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son succeeded him as king.

King James Version
24 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord.
5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord did they bestow upon Baalim.
8 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the Lord.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
14 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the Lord, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he 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 toward his house.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
18 And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord look upon it, and require it.
23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the Lord delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
25 And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
