In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign； and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

　　12：2 约阿施在祭司耶何耶大教训他的时候，就行耶和华眼中看为正的事。

　　And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

　　12：3 只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。

　　But the high places were not taken away： the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

　　12：4 约阿施对众祭司说，凡奉到耶和华殿分别为圣之物所值通用的银子，或各人当纳的身价，或乐意奉到耶和华殿的银子，And Jehoash said to the priests， All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD， even the money of every one that passeth the account， the money that every man is set at， and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD，

　　12：5 你们当从所认识的人收了来，修理殿的一切破坏之处。

　　Let the priests take it to them， every man of his acquaintance： and let them repair the breaches of the house， wheresoever any breach shall be found.

　　12：6 无奈到了约阿施王二十三年，祭司仍未修理殿的破坏之处。

　　But it was so， that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

　　12：7 所以约阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和众祭司来，对他们说，你们怎吗不修理殿的破坏之处呢。从今以后，你们不要从所认识的人再收银子，要将所收的交出来，修理殿的破坏之处。

　　Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest， and the other priests， and said unto them， Why repair ye not the breaches of the house？ now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance， but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

　　12：8 众祭司答应不再收百姓的银子，也不修理殿的破坏之处。

　　And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people， neither to repair the breaches of the house.

　　12：9 祭司耶何耶大取了一个柜子，在柜盖上钻了一个窟窿，放于坛旁，在进耶和华殿的右边。守门的祭司将奉到耶和华殿的一切银子投在柜里。

　　But Jehoiada the priest took a chest， and bored a hole in the lid of it， and set it beside the altar， on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD： and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.

　　12：10 他们见柜里的银子多了，便叫王的书记和大祭司上来，将耶和华殿里的银子数算包起来。

　　And it was so， when they saw that there was much money in the chest， that the king's scribe and the high priest came up， and they put up in bags， and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
