17 And Jehoiada cut a covenant between YAHUVEH and the king and the people to
be for a people to YAHUVEH, and between the king and the people.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal and broke it down.
They completely smashed its altars and its images. And they killed Mattan the
priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest set guards over the house of
YAHUVEH.
19 And he took the commanders over the hundreds, and the Carites, and the
runners, and all the people of the land. And they brought the king down from the
house of YAHUVEH, and came by the way of the Runners’ Gate to the king’s house.
And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And they had
slain Athaliah by the sword in the king’s house.
21 Joash was a son of seven years when he began to reign.
Chapter 12;
1 Joash reigned in the seventh year of Jehu. And he reigned forty years in
Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
2 And Joash did that which was good in the eyes of YAHUVEH all his days in which
Jehoiada the priest guided him;
3 only, the high places were not destroyed; the people still sacrificed and
offered incense in high places.
4 And Joash said to the priests, All the silver of the devoted things that is
brought into the house of YAHUVEH, the silver coming over, each man the silver
of his valuation, all the silver that comes upon any man’s heart to bring into
the house of YAHUVEH,
5 even the priests shall take to themselves, each man from his friend; and they
shall repair the breach of the house, in all places where a breach may be found.
6 And it happened, in the twenty third year of King Joash, that the priests had
not repaired the breach of the house.
7 And King Joash called to Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to
them, Why have you not repaired the breach of the house? And now, do not receive
any silver from your friends, but give it for the breach of the house.
8 And the priests consented not to receive silver from the people, nor to
strengthen the breach of the house.
9 And Jehoiada the priest took a chest and cut a hole in its lid, and put it
near the altar, on the right side, as one comes into the house of YAHUVEH, and
the priests who kept the door put in it all the silver brought into the house of
YAHUVEH.
10 And it happened, when they saw that the silver in the chest was plentiful,
that a scribe of the king, and the high priest went up, and they bound it up,
and counted the silver found in the house of YAHUVEH.
11 And they weighed silver into the hands of those doing the work, those
overseeing the house of YAHUVEH; and they gave it, weighed it out, to the
craftsmen in wood, and to the builders who were working on the house of YAHUVEH,
12 and to the masons, and the stone cutters, and to buy wood and cut stone to
strengthen the breach of the house of YAHUVEH; and for all that went out on the
house, to make it strong.
13 However, there were not made for the house of YAHUVEH basins of silver,
snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the
silver brought into the house of YAHUVEH;
14 for they gave it to those doing the work, and they made strong the house of
YAHUVEH with it.
15 And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the silver, to
give to those doing the work, for they were dealing with faithfulness.
16 And the guilt offering silver and the sin offering silver was not brought
into the house of YAHUVEH, for it was the priests’.
17 Then Hazael the king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and captured
it; and Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
Matthew 26:20-30
20 And evening having come, He reclined with the Twelve.
21 And as they were eating, He said, Truly I say to you that one of you will
betray Me.
22 And grieving exceedingly, they began to say to Him, each of them, Master, is
it I?
23 But answering, He said, The one dipping the hand with Me in the dish will
betray Me.
24 Indeed, the Son of Man goes, as it has been written about Him. But woe to
that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It were good for him if that man
was never born.
25 And answering, the traitor, Judas, said, is it I, Rabbi? He said to him, You
have said it.
26 And as they ate, taking the bread and blessing it, YAHUSHUA broke and gave to
the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body.
27 And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave to them, saying, Drink all of
it.
28 For this represents My blood of the New Covenant which concerning many is
being poured out for remission of sins.
29 But I say to you, I will not at all drink of this fruit of the vine after
this until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of YAHUVEH.
30 And offering praise, they went to the Mount of Olives.
