In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2
Jehoash did right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3
Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
4
Then Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the sacred things which is brought into the house of the LORD , in current money, both the money of each man's assessment and all the money which any man's heart prompts him to bring into the house of the LORD ,
5
let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever any damage may be found."
