猶大王約阿施
24 約阿施七歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政四十年。他母親叫西比亞，是別示巴人。 2 耶何耶大祭司在世之日，約阿施做耶和華視為正的事。 3 耶何耶大為他娶了兩個妻子，她們都為他生兒育女。
4 之後，約阿施有意整修耶和華的殿， 5 便召集祭司和利未人，對他們說：「你們到猶大各城去向所有以色列人徵收銀子，用來作每年整修你們上帝殿的費用。你們要立刻辦理這事。」可是，利未人沒有立刻辦理。 6 王就召來耶何耶大大祭司，問他：「你為什麼不吩咐利未人到耶路撒冷和猶大去收稅呢？這稅是耶和華的僕人摩西和以色列的會眾定的，以備聖幕之用。」 7 因為惡婦亞她利雅的爪牙曾闖入耶和華上帝的殿，拿殿裡的聖物去供奉巴力。
8 於是，王下令造一個箱子，放在耶和華殿的門外， 9 通告猶大和耶路撒冷的人民要將上帝的僕人摩西在曠野為以色列人定的稅帶來獻給耶和華。 10 全體首領和民眾都高高興興地把銀子帶來投進箱子裡，直到箱子滿了。 11 利未人見箱子滿了，就抬到王的官員那裡。王的書記和大祭司的屬下會把箱子倒空，然後把箱子放回原處。日復一日，他們收了很多銀子。 12 王與耶何耶大把銀子交給耶和華殿裡的辦事人員，他們就雇用石匠、木匠、鐵匠和銅匠來整修耶和華的殿。 13 工人辛勤整修，工程進展順利，上帝的殿恢復了原貌，而且非常堅固。 14 完工後，他們把剩餘的銀子交給王與耶何耶大，這些銀子被用來製造耶和華殿裡的器具：供奉和獻祭用的器皿、碟子和其他金銀器皿。耶何耶大在世之日，民眾常在耶和華的殿裡獻燔祭。
耶何耶大的政策被廢棄
15 耶何耶大壽終正寢，享年一百三十歲。 16 民眾把他葬在大衛城的王陵裡，因為他在以色列為上帝和上帝的殿做了美善的事。
17 耶何耶大死後，猶大眾首領來朝拜王，王對他們言聽計從。 18 他們離棄他們祖先的上帝耶和華的殿，去供奉亞舍拉神像及其他偶像。因他們所犯的罪，上帝的烈怒臨到猶大和耶路撒冷。 19 但耶和華仍然派先知到他們中間，引導他們歸向祂。先知警告他們，他們卻不聽。
20 上帝的靈感動了耶何耶大祭司的兒子撒迦利亞，他便站在高處對民眾說：「耶和華上帝這樣說，『你們為什麼違反耶和華的誡命，以致不得亨通呢？既然你們背棄我，我也必離棄你們。』」 21 他們想謀害撒迦利亞，就照著王的命令，在耶和華殿的院子裡用石頭打死了他。 22 約阿施王不但不顧念撒迦利亞的父親耶何耶大對他的恩惠，還殺死了耶何耶大的兒子。撒迦利亞臨死的時候說：「願耶和華鑒察，為我伸冤！」
約阿施被殺
23 當年年底，亞蘭的軍兵前來攻擊約阿施，入侵猶大和耶路撒冷，殺了民眾的所有首領，把戰利品全都送到大馬士革王那裡。 24 雖然亞蘭軍只來了一小隊，但耶和華把大隊的猶大軍兵交在他們手中，以懲罰約阿施，因為猶大人背棄了他們祖先的上帝耶和華。
25 亞蘭人退兵的時候，約阿施受了重傷，他的臣僕叛變，把他殺死在床上，為耶何耶大祭司的兒子報了血仇。約阿施死後葬在大衛城，但沒有葬在王陵裡。 26 殺他的是亞捫婦人示米押的兒子撒拔和摩押婦人示米利的兒子約薩拔。 27 至於約阿施的眾子、他所受的警告以及他整修上帝殿的事都記在列王史上。他兒子亞瑪謝繼位。

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.

Traducción en lenguaje actual
Joás es rey de Judá (2 R 12.1-21)
24 Joás tenía siete años cuando comenzó a gobernar. La capital de su reino fue Jerusalén, y su reinado duró cuarenta años. Su madre era de Beerseba, y se llamaba Sibiá. 2 Mientras vivió el sacerdote Joiadá, Joás obedeció a Dios en todo. 3 Se casó con dos mujeres que Joiadá eligió para él, y tuvo muchos hijos e hijas.
4 Un día, Joás decidió reparar el templo de Dios; 5 reunió a los sacerdotes y a los ayudantes de éstos y les dijo: «Es urgente que vayan por todas las ciudades de Judá y recojan las ofrendas que el pueblo debe dar cada año, para así reparar el templo. ¡Háganlo de inmediato!»
Sin embargo, los ayudantes de los sacerdotes no le dieron importancia a la orden del rey. 6 Entonces Joás mandó llamar a Joiadá, jefe de los sacerdotes, y le reclamó:
«¿Por qué no has enviado a tus ayudantes a recorrer Judá y Jerusalén, para que recolecten la contribución que Moisés y los israelitas acordaron dar para el templo? 7 Recuerda que los hijos de la malvada Atalía robaron muchas cosas del templo de Dios, y que hasta se llevaron nuestros utensilios para adorar a sus dioses falsos».
8 Entonces, el rey mandó hacer un cofre para que lo pusieran en la entrada del templo de Dios. 9 Luego le anunció a toda la gente de Judá y Jerusalén que debían traerle a Dios la contribución que Moisés había ordenado cuando estaban en el desierto.
10 Al oír esto, todos los jefes del país, y el pueblo en general, se alegraron y llevaron sus ofrendas al cofre hasta llenarlo. 11 Cada día, los ayudantes de los sacerdotes llevaban el cofre a los asistentes del rey. Cuando éstos veían que había mucho dinero, le avisaban al secretario del rey y al asistente del jefe de los sacerdotes para que lo vaciaran. Luego, volvían a colocar el cofre a la entrada del templo; de esa manera, lograron juntar una gran cantidad de dinero.
12 El rey y Joiadá le daban el dinero a los encargados de las reparaciones del templo, y éstos les pagaban a los albañiles y carpinteros, y a los que trabajaban el hierro y el bronce para reparar el templo de Dios. 13 De esta manera, todos trabajaron, y la obra avanzó, hasta que repararon por completo el templo de Dios.
14 Cuando terminaron, le regresaron al rey y a Joiadá el dinero que había sobrado. Con él hicieron utensilios de oro y plata para usarlos en el culto del templo. Y así, mientras Joiadá vivió, se presentaron en el templo sacrificios en honor de Dios.
15 Pero Joiadá envejeció, y al llegar a los ciento treinta años de edad, murió. 16 Y como le había servido bien al pueblo de Israel, a Dios y a su templo, lo sepultaron en la Ciudad de David, en el cementerio de los reyes.
Joás se aleja de Dios
17 Después de la muerte de Joiadá, los jefes de Judá fueron a rendirle homenaje al rey. Ellos empezaron a darle malos consejos, 18 y muy pronto el rey y ellos se olvidaron del templo de Dios, y volvieron a adorar las imágenes de Astarté y otros dioses falsos. Esto hizo que Dios se enojara mucho contra Judá y Jerusalén.
19 Sin embargo, Dios les dio una oportunidad y les envió profetas. Ellos les advirtieron del mal que estaban haciendo, para que volvieran a obedecer a Dios. Pero nadie hizo caso.
20 Entonces el espíritu de Dios le dio un mensaje a Zacarías, hijo del sacerdote Joiadá. Él fue, se subió a una tarima, y le dijo al pueblo:
«Así dice Dios: “¡Ustedes se han buscado su propia ruina, por haber desobedecido mi ley! ¡Por haberme abandonado, ahora yo los abandono a ustedes!”»
21-22 El rey Joás se olvidó del amor que Joiadá siempre le tuvo, y cuando el pueblo quiso deshacerse de Zacarías, él mismo dio la orden de que lo mataran en el patio del templo de Dios.
Cuando Zacarías estaba a punto de morir, dijo: «¡Que Dios los castigue por hacerme esto!»
Muerte de Joás
23-24 Y así sucedió. Un año después, Dios castigó a Joás al permitir que una pequeña parte del ejército sirio derrotara a su gran ejército. Los sirios invadieron Judá y Jerusalén, mataron a todos los jefes del país, y después de robar las pertenencias del pueblo, las enviaron al rey de Siria. 25-26 A Joás lo dejaron gravemente herido; y en cuanto los sirios se retiraron, sus ayudantes, Zabad el amonita y Jozabad el moabita, se vengaron del asesinato de Zacarías y mataron a Joás en su propia cama. Luego lo enterraron en la Ciudad de David, pero no en el cementerio de los reyes.
27 La historia de los hijos de Joás, las muchas profecías que se dijeron contra él, y la manera en que reparó el templo de Dios, están escritas en el «Comentario del libro de los reyes». Amasías, su hijo, reinó en su lugar.
