2 Chronicles 24

24
1Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. His mother’s name also [was] Tzivyah [roe] of Be’er-sheva [Well of the sevenfold Oath].
2And Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] did [that which was] right in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all the days of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest.
3And Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] took for him two wives; and he begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) sons and daughters.
4And it came to pass after this, [that] Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] was minded to repair the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
5And he gathered together the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and gather of all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] money to repair the house of your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] from year to year, and see that you2f hasten the matter. However the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] hastened [it] not.
6And the king called for Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the chief, and said unto him, Why have youi not required of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] to bring in out of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and out of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] the collection, [according to the commandment] of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and of the congregation of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for the tabernacle of witness?
7For the sons of ‘Atalyahu [afflicted of the Lord], that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) did they bestow upon Ba’alim [lords (false gods)].
8And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
9And they made a proclamation through Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], to bring in to the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the collection [that] Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [laid] upon Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in the wilderness.
10And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
11Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], 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.
12And the king and Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
13So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in his state, and strengthened it.
14And when they had finished [it], they brought the rest of the money before the king and Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows], whereof were made vessels for the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) continually all the days of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows].
15But Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.
16And they buried him in the city of David [beloved] among the kings, because he had done good in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], both toward God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and toward his house.
17Now after the death of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] came the princes of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and made obesiance (bowing or kneeling in respect) to the king. Then the king listened unto them.
18And they left the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] for this their trespass.
19Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20And the Spirit of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] came upon Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus says God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], Why transgress you2f the commandments of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that you2f cannot prosper? because you2f have forsaken the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he has also forsaken you.
21And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
22Thus Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] the king remembered not the kindness which Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) look upon [it], and require [it].
23And it came to pass at the end of the year, [that] the host of Aram [exalted] (Syria) [exalted] came up against him: and they came to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of them unto the king of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver].
24For the army of the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] came with a small company of men, and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Yo’ash [Given by the Lord].
25And 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 Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David [beloved], but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26And these are they that conspired against him; Zavad [he endows] the son of Shim’at [report] an ‘Amonit [tribal], and Y’hozavad [Yehovah has endowed] the son of Shimrith a Moaviah [from father: what father?].
27Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the repairing of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], behold, they [are] written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] his son reigned in his stead.
