2 Crónicas 24
Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker
1Sieben Jahre war Jehoas alt, als er König ward, und vierzig Jahre regierte er zu Jerusalem; seine Mutter aber hieß Zibja und stammte aus Beerseba.
2Und Jehoas that, was Jahwe wohlgefiel, so lange der Priester Jojada lebte.
3Jojada verheiratete ihn mit zwei Frauen, und er erzeugte Söhne und Töchter.
4Nachmals aber beschloß Jehoas, den Tempel Jahwes wiederherzustellen.
5Da versammelte er die Priester und die Leviten und gebot ihnen: Geht hinaus in die Städte Judas und sammelt von ganz Israel Geld ein, um Jahr für Jahr den Tempel eures Gottes auszubessern, und zwar müßt ihr die Sache eilig betreiben! Aber die Leviten beeilten sich nicht.
6Da berief der König Jojada, das Oberhaupt der Priester, und sprach zu ihm: Warum hast du dich nicht darum gekümmert, daß die Leviten die Steuer aus Juda und Jerusalem einbringen, die von Mose, dem Knechte Jahwes, der Volksgemeinde Israels zum Besten des Gesetzeszeltes auferlegt ward?
7Denn Athalja, das ruchlose Weib, und ihre Söhne haben am Tempel Gottes Zerstörungen angerichtet, dazu auch alle dem Tempel Jahwes geweihte Gaben für die Baale verwendet!
8Sodann verfertigte man auf Befehl des Königs eine Lade und stellte sie hinaus vor das Thor des Tempels Jahwes.
9Alsdann rief man in Juda und Jerusalem aus, daß man Jahwe die von Mose, dem Knechte Gottes, den Israeliten in der Wüste auferlegte Steuer herbeibringen solle.
10Da freuten sich alle Obersten bis auf den letzten Mann.
11Und jedesmal, wenn er die Lade durch die Leviten zu der königlichen Aufsichtsbehörde bringen ließ, wenn sie nämlich sahen, daß des Geldes viel war, kam der Schreiber des Königs und der Beauftragte des Hohenpriesters; die leerten die Lade und trugen sie dann wieder an ihren Ort. So thaten sie Tag für Tag und sammelten eine Menge Geld.
12Und der König und Jojada gaben es den Werkführern bei der Arbeit am Tempel Jahwes; die dingeten alsdann Steinmetzen und Zimmerleute, um den Tempel Jahwes wiederherzustellen, dazu auch Eisen- und Kupferschmiede, um den Tempel Jahwes auszubessern.
13Und die Werkmeister waren thätig, so daß die Ausbesserung durch sie vorwärts ging, und so stellten sie den Tempel Gottes nach den gegebenen Maßen wieder her und setzten ihn in guten Stand.
14Und als sie damit fertig waren, brachten sie das übrige Geld dem König und Jojada, und man machte Geräte für den Tempel Jahwes daraus - Geräte für den Gottesdienst und die Darbringung der Opfer, Schalen und goldene und silberne Geräte. Und man brachte beständig Brandopfer im Tempel Jahwes, so lange Jojada lebte.
15Es ward aber Jojada alt und lebenssatt und starb; hundertunddreißig Jahre war er alt, als er starb.
16Und man begrub ihn in der Stadt Davids bei den Königen; denn er hatte sich um Israel und um Gott und seinen Tempel verdient gemacht.
17Nach dem Tode Jojadas aber kamen die Obersten Judas und warfen sich vor dem Könige nieder; da hörte der König auf sie.
18Und sie verließen den Tempel Jahwes, des Gottes ihrer Väter, und verehrten die Ascheren und die Schnitzbilder. Da kam grimmiger Zorn über Juda und Jerusalem um dieser Verschuldung willen.
19Und er sandte Propheten unter sie, um sie zu Jahwe zurückzubringen; diese beschworen sie, aber sie hörten nicht darauf.
20Aber der Geist Gottes ergriff Sacharja, den Sohn des Priesters Jojada, daß er vor das Volk trat und zu ihnen sprach: So spricht Gott: Warum übertretet ihr die Gebote Jahwes und wollt euch um euer Glück bringen? Weil ihr Jahwe verlassen habt, verließ er euch!
21Da stifteten sie eine Verschwörung wider ihn und steinigten ihn auf Befehl des Königs im Vorhofe des Tempels Jahwes.
22Und der König Jehoas gedachte nicht der Liebe, die ihm Jojada, der Vater jenes, erwiesen hatte, sondern ließ seinen Sohn töten. Dieser aber rief sterbend: Jahwe sieht es und wird es ahnden!
23Und um die Wende des Jahres rückte das Heer der Aramäer wider ihn an. Als die nach Juda und Jerusalem gelangt waren, rotteten sie alle Obersten des Volkes aus dem Volke aus und sandten alle Beute, die sie ihnen abgenommen, dem Könige von Damaskus.
24Obwohl das aramäische Heer nur mit einer geringen Zahl von Leuten kam, gab doch Jahwe ein überaus großes Heer in ihre Gewalt, weil sie Jahwe, den Gott ihrer Väter, verlassen hatten, und so vollzogen sie an Jehoas das Strafgericht.
25Als sie aber von ihm abzogen - sie ließen ihn nämlich schwer erkrankt zurück -, verschworen sich seine Diener wider ihn wegen der Blutschuld am Sohne des Priesters Jojada und ermordeten ihn auf seinem Bette. So starb er, und man begrub ihn in der Stadt Davids, begrub ihn aber nicht in den Gräbern der Könige.
26Und diese waren es, die sich wider ihn verschworen hatten: Sabad, der Sohn der Ammoniterin Simeath, und Josabad, der Sohn der Moabiterin Simrith.
27Seine Söhne aber, sowie die Höhe des ihm auferlegten Tributs und der Bau des Tempels finden sich aufgezeichnet im Midrasch des Buches der Könige. Und sein Sohn Amazja ward König an seiner Statt.
Reina-Valera 1909
1DE SIETE años era Joas cuando comenzó á reinar, y cuarenta años reinó en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Sibia, de Beer-seba.
2E hizo Joas lo recto en ojos de Jehová todos los días de Joiada el sacerdote.
3Y tomó para él Joiada dos mujeres; y engendró hijos é hijas.
4Después de esto aconteció que Joas tuvo voluntad de reparar la casa de Jehová.
5Y juntó los sacerdotes y los Levitas, y díjoles: Salid por las ciudades de Judá, y juntad dinero de todo Israel, para que cada año sea reparada la casa de vuestro Dios; y vosotros poned diligencia en el negocio. Mas los Levitas no pusieron diligencia.
6Por lo cual el rey llamó á Joiada el principal, y díjole: ¿Por qué no has procurado que los Levitas traigan de Judá y de Jerusalem al tabernáculo del testimonio, la ofrenda que impuso Moisés siervo de Jehová, y de la congregación de Israel?
7Porque la impía Athalía y sus hijos habían destruído la casa de Dios, y además habían gastado en los ídolos todas las cosas consagradas á la casa de Jehová.
8Mandó pues el rey que hiciesen un arca, la cual pusieron fuera á la puerta de la casa de Jehová;
9E hicieron pregonar en Judá y en Jerusalem, que trajesen á Jehová la ofrenda que Moisés siervo de Dios había impuesto á Israel en el desierto.
10Y todos los príncipes y todo el pueblo se holgaron: y traían, y echaban en el arca hasta henchirla.
11Y como venía el tiempo para llevar el arca al magistrado del rey por mano de los Levitas, cuando veían que había mucho dinero, venía el escriba del rey, y el que estaba puesto por el sumo sacerdote, y llevaban el arca, y vaciábanla, y volvíanla á su lugar: y así lo hacían de día en día, y recogían mucho dinero;
12El cual daba el rey y Joiada á los que hacían la obra del servicio de la casa de Jehová, y tomaban canteros y oficiales que reparasen la casa de Jehová, y herreros y metalarios para componer la casa de Jehová.
13Hacían pues los oficiales la obra, y por sus manos fué la obra restaurada, y restituyeron la casa de Dios á su condición, y la consolidaron.
14Y cuando hubieron acabado, trajeron lo que quedaba del dinero al rey y á Joiada, é hicieron de él vasos para la casa de Jehová, vasos para el servicio, morteros, cucharas, vasos de oro y de plata. Y sacrificaban holocaustos continuamente en la casa de Jehová todos los días de Joiada.
15Mas Joiada envejeció, y murió harto de días: de ciento y treinta años era cuando murió.
16Y sepultáronlo en la ciudad de David con los reyes, por cuanto había hecho bien con Israel, y para con Dios, y con su casa.
17Muerto Joiada, vinieron los príncipes de Judá, é hicieron acatamiento al rey; y el rey los oyó.
18Y desampararon la casa de Jehová el Dios de sus padres, y sirvieron á los bosques y á las imágenes esculpidas; y la ira vino sobre Judá y Jerusalem por este su pecado.
19Y envióles profetas, para que los redujesen á Jehová, los cuales les protestaron: mas ellos no los escucharon.
20Y el espíritu de Dios envistió á Zachârías, hijo de Joiada el sacerdote, el cual estando sobre el pueblo, les dijo: Así ha dicho Dios: ¿Por qué quebrantáis los mandamientos de Jehová? No os vendrá bien de ello; porque por haber dejado á Jehová, él también os dejará.
21Mas ellos hicieron conspiración contra él, y cubriéronle de piedras por mandato del rey, en el patio de la casa de Jehová.
22No tuvo pues memoria el rey Joas de la misericordia que su padre Joiada había hecho con él, antes matóle su hijo; el cual dijo al morir: Jehová lo vea, y lo requiera.
23A la vuelta del año subió contra él el ejército de Siria; y vinieron á Judá y á Jerusalem, y destruyeron en el pueblo á todos los principales de él, y enviaron todos sus despojos al rey á Damasco.
24Porque aunque el ejército de Siria había venido con poca gente, Jehová les entregó en sus manos un ejército muy numeroso; por cuanto habían dejado á Jehová el Dios de sus padres. Y con Joas hicieron juicios.
25Y yéndose de él los Siros, dejáronlo en muchas enfermedades; y conspiraron contra él sus siervos á causa de las sangres de los hijos de Joiada el sacerdote, é hiriéronle en su cama, y murió: y sepultáronle en la ciudad de David, mas no lo sepultaron en los sepulcros de los reyes.
26Los que conspiraron contra él fueron Zabad, hijo de Simath Ammonita, y Jozabad, hijo de Simrith Moabita.
27De sus hijos, y de la multiplicación que hizo de las rentas, y de la instauración de la casa de Jehová, he aquí está escrito en la historia del libro de los reyes. Y reinó en su lugar Amasías su hijo.
King James Version
1Joash 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.
2And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
4And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
5And 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.
6And 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?
7For 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.
8And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9And 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.
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 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.
12And 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.
13So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
14And 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.
15But Jehoiada 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 among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
17Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
18And 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.
19Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20And 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.
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.
22Thus 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.
23And 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.
24For 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.
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 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.
26And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
27Now 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.
World English Bible
1Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2Joash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4After this, Joash intended to restore the LORD’s house.
5He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
6The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the LORD’s house to the Baals.
8So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the LORD’s house.
9They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the LORD’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the LORD’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the LORD’s house.
13So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
14When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the LORD’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
16They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the LORD, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey the LORD’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
21They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
22Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May the LORD look at it, and repay it.”
23At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
24For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
25When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
