A Good Start

Name Date

Read and Think

Joash began to reign at seven and reigned forty years. He did what was right in Yahweh's eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest. He decided to restore Yahweh's house and told the Levites to gather money from all Israel, but they were slow.

So the king commanded a chest to be made and set at the gate of Yahweh's house. A proclamation went out to bring the tax Moses had laid on Israel. All the princes and people rejoiced and cast their gifts into the chest until it was full. Workers restored the house to its proper state and made it strong.

When Jehoiada died at a hundred thirty, he was buried among the kings, for he had done good in Israel toward God and his house. Then the princes of Judah came and bowed to Joash, and he listened to them. They forsook Yahweh's house and served Asherah poles and idols. God sent prophets to bring them back, but they would not listen. Zechariah son of Jehoiada warned them, and they turned against him.
