2 Crônicas 24 - Bíblia Online

Joás tinha sete anos quando começou a reinar. Seu reinado, em Jerusalém, durou quarenta anos. Sua mãe chamava-se Sébia; era ela de Bersabéia. 
Joás fez o bem aos olhos do Senhor durante toda a vida do sacerdote Jojada, 
o qual lhe deu por esposas duas mulheres, das quais teve filhos e filhas. 
Depois disso, Joás tomou a peito restaurar o templo do Senhor. 
Convocou os sacerdotes e levitas e lhes disse: Ide e percorrei as cidades de Judá, e delas recolhereis anualmente dinheiro dos israelitas para reparar o templo de vosso Deus. Executai isso com presteza. Mas os levitas não se apressaram. 
Então o rei mandou vir o sumo sacerdote Jojada e lhe disse: Por que não cuidaste que os levitas trouxessem de Judá e de Jerusalém a contribuição imposta por Moisés, servo do Senhor, à comunidade de Israel para a tenda do testemunho? 
A ímpia Atalia e seus filhos destruíram a casa de Deus: fizeram servir ao culto de Baal todos os objetos sagrados do templo do Senhor. 
Então o rei ordenou que se fizesse um cofre e o colocassem na parte externa da porta do templo. 
Em seguida, publicou-se em Judá e em Jerusalém que levassem ao Senhor a contribuição imposta a Israel no deserto, por Moisés, servo do Senhor. 
Todos os chefes e todo o povo, cheios de alegria, vieram colocar dinheiro no cofre até que este estivesse cheio. 
Cada vez que, por meio dos levitas, era o cofre levado para a inspeção do rei - o que acontecia quando o dinheiro se acumulava -, o escriba real e um comissário do sumo sacerdote esvaziavam-no e depois os levitas iam colocá-lo no lugar. Assim faziam eles cada vez, e recolheram, em abundância, dinheiro, 
que o rei e Jojada entregavam ao empreiteiro das obras do templo. Este contratava os carpinteiros, os canteiros e os trabalhadores que modelavam o ferro e o bronze, para restaurar e reparar o templo do Senhor. 
Os empreiteiros fizeram com que os reparos fossem acabados pelos seus cuidados, e restabeleceram o templo em seu primeiro estado e o consolidaram. 
Terminado o trabalho, devolveram na presença do rei e de Jojada o restante do dinheiro, com o qual fabricaram utensílios para o serviço do templo e para os holocaustos, assim como taças e outros objetos de ouro e prata. Enquanto viveu Jojada, foram regularmente oferecidos os holocaustos no templo do Senhor. 
Jojada, velho e cheio de dias, morreu. Tinha cento e trinta anos. 
Sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi, com os reis, pois ele tinha feito o bem em Israel para com o Senhor e seu templo. 
Depois da morte de Jojada, os chefes de Judá vieram e se prostraram diante do rei, e o rei os ouviu. 
Abandonaram o templo do Senhor, Deus de seus pais, e se puseram a adorar as imagens de asserá e outros ídolos, e tamanhas faltas atraíram a ira divina contra Judá e Jerusalém. 
Enviou-lhes o Senhor profetas para os converterem a ele; porém, pregaram em vão, e não foram escutados. 
Então o espírito de Deus apossou-se de Zacarias, filho do sacerdote Jojada, o qual se apresentou diante do povo: Eis, disse ele, o que diz o Senhor: Por que transgredis as ordens do Senhor? Nada conseguireis. Porque abandonastes o Senhor, o Senhor vos abandonará. 
Mas eles se revoltaram contra ele e o apedrejaram por ordem do rei no átrio do templo do Senhor. 
Joás, esquecido dos benefícios que Jojada lhe dispensara, mandou matar o filho. Porem, ao expirar, disse Zacarias: Que o Senhor o veja, e faça vingança! 
Ao fim de um ano, o exército dos sírios atacou Joás; invadiu Judá e Jerusalém, massacrou os chefes do povo e enviou todo o seu despojo ao rei de Damasco. 
Embora os sírios tivessem vindo em pequeno número, o Senhor lhes entregou um enorme exército, porque Judá tinha abandonado o Senhor, Deus de seus pais. Assim os sírios fizeram justiça a Joás. 
Apenas se afastaram, deixando-o como presa de grandes sofrimentos, seus homens, revoltados contra ele por causa do assassínio do filho do sacerdote Jojada, assassinaram-no em seu leito. Assim morreu e sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi, mas não nos sepulcros dos reis. 
Os conjurados eram Zabad, filho de Semaat, mulher amonita, e Jozabad, filho de Samarit, mulher moabita. 
Tudo o que se refere a seus filhos, os numerosos oráculos proferidos contra ele e a restauração do templo estão relatados nas memórias do livro dos Reis. Seu filho Amasias sucedeu-lhe no trono. 

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 Beer-sheba. 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. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
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.
