Yahuda Kralı Yoaş, ataları olan öbür Yahuda krallarından Yehoşafat’ın, Yehoram’ın, Ahazya’nın ve kendisinin RAB’be adamış olduğu bütün kutsal armağanları, RAB’bin Tapınağı’nda ve sarayın hazinelerinde bulunan bütün altınları Aram Kralı Hazael’e gönderdi. Bunun üzerine Hazael Yeruşalim’e saldırmaktan vazgeçti.
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.
