And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
Da tok Judas konge Joas alle de hellige ting som hans fedre Josafat og Joram og Akasja, Judas konger, hadde helliget, og dem han selv hadde helliget, og alt det gull som fantes i skattkammerne i Herrens hus og i kongens hus, og sendte det til Syrias konge Hasael. Da drog han bort og gikk ikke mot Jerusalem.
