New American Standard Bible (NASB)
2 Chronicles 23
16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord’s people.
17 And all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down, and they broke in pieces his altars and his images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Moreover, Jehoiada placed the offices of the house of the Lord under the authority of the Levitical priests, whom David had assigned over the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses-with rejoicing and singing according to the order of David.
19 He stationed the gatekeepers of the house of the Lord, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and came through the upper gate to the king’s house. And they placed the king upon the royal throne.
21 So all of the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zibiah from Beersheba.
2 Joash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Now it came about after this that Joash decided to restore the house of the Lord.
5 He gathered the priests and Levites and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah and collect money from all Israel to repair the house of your God annually, and you shall do the matter quickly." But the Levites did not act quickly.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
