DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
the malchut.
21 And all the people of the land had gilah: and the city
was quiet, after they had slain Athalyahu with the
sword.
24 Yoash was seven years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned forty years in Yahrushalayim. His
mother’s name also was Tzivyah of Be-er-Sheva.
2 And Yoash did that which was right in the sight of
vuvh all the days of Yahuyadah the kohen.
3 And Yahuyadah took for him two wives; and he begat
sons and daughters.
4 And it came to pass after this, that Yoash decided to
repair the Bayit of vuvh.
5 And he gathered together the Kohanim and the
Lewiym, and said to them, Go out to the cities of
Yahudah, and gather from kol Yisrael money to repair
the Bayit of your Elohim from year to year, and see that
you go quickly to the matter. But the Lewiym did not
hurry to do it.
6 And the melech called for Yahuyadah the kohen, and
said to him, Why have you not required of the Lewiym
to bring out of Yahudah and out of Yahrushalayim the
collection, according to the commandment of Moshe the
eved of vuvh, and of the congregation of Yisrael, for the
Tabernacle of witness?
7 For the sons of Athalyahu, that wicked woman, had
broken up the Bayit of Elohim; and also all the
dedicated things of the Bayit of vuvh did they offer to
Ba’alim.
8 And at the melech’s commandment they made a chest,
and set it outside at the gate of the Bayit of vuvh.
9 And they made a proclamation throughout Yahudah
and Yahrushalayim, to bring in to vuvh the collection
that Moshe the eved of Elohim laid upon Yisrael in the
wilderness.
10 And all the rulers and all the people had gilah, and
brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made
an end of giving.
11 Now it came to pass, at that time that the chest was
brought to the melech’s office by the hand of the
Lewiym, and when they saw that there was much
money, the melech’s Sopher and the Kohen HaGadol’s
officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and
carried it back to its place again. This they did every
day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 And the melech and Yahuyadah gave it to such as
did the work of the service of the Bayit of vuvh, and
they hired masons and carpenters to repair the Bayit of
vuvh, and also such as worked with iron and bronze to
fix the Bayit of vuvh.
13 So the workmen labored and the work was finished
by them, and they set the Bayit of Elohim in its proper
form, and strengthened it.
14 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest
of the money before the melech and Yahuyadah, from
which were made vessels for the Bayit of vuvh, even
vessels to serve, and to offer with, and spoons, and
vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt
offerings in the Bayit of vuvh continually all the days of
Yahuyadah.
15 But Yahuyadah grew older, and was full of days
when he died; a hundred thirty years old he was when
- 577 -
he died.
16 And they buried him in the city of Dawid among the
melechim, because he had done tov in Yisrael, both
toward Elohim, and toward His Bayit.
17 Now after the death of Yahuyadah came the rulers of
Yahudah, and bowed before the melech. Then the
melech listened to them.
18 And they left the Bayit of vuvh Elohim of their
ahvot, and served Asherim and idols: and wrath came
upon Yahudah and Yahrushalayim for their trespass.
19 Yet He sent neviim to them, to bring them back
again to vuvh; and they testified against them: but they
would not listen.
20 And the Ruach of Elohim came upon Zacharyah the
son of Yahuyadah the kohen, who stood above the
people, and said to them, This says Elohim, Why do you
transgress the mishpatim of vuvh, that you cannot
prosper? Because you have forsaken vuvh, He has also
forsaken you.
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with
stones at the commandment of the melech in the court
of the Bayit of vuvh.
22 So Yoash the melech remembered not the kindness
which Yahuyadah Zacharyah’s abba had done to him,
but killed his son. And when he died, he said, vuvh look
upon it, and repay it!
23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the
army of Aram came up against him: and they came to
Yahudah and Yahrushalayim, and destroyed all the
rulers of the people from among the people, and sent all
their spoil to the melech of Dameshek.
24 For the army of the Arameans came with a small
company of men, and vuvh delivered a very great army
into their hand, because they had forsaken vuvh Elohim
of their ahvot. So they executed mishpat against Yoash.
25 And when they had departed from him – for they left
him very sick – his own avadim conspired against him
for the dahm of the sons of Yahuyadah the kohen, and
killed him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him
in the city of Dawid but they buried him not in the
tombs of the melechim.
26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zavad
the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Yahuzavad the
son of Shimrith a Moavitess.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the others that
conspired against him, and the repairing of the Bayit of
Elohim, see, they are written in the Scroll of the
Melechim. And Amatzyahu his son reigned in his place.
25
Amatzyahu was twenty-five years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in
Yahrushalayim. And his mother’s name was Yahuaddan
of Yahrushalayim.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of vuvh,
but not with a perfect lev.
3 Now it came to pass, when the malchut was
established to him, that he killed the avadim that had
killed the melech his abba.
4 But he did not kill their children, but did as it is
written in the Torah in the scroll of Moshe, where vuvh
commanded, saying, The ahvot shall not die for the
children, neither shall the children die for the ahvot, but
every man shall die for his own sin.
