“So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers — Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah — along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.”
2 Kings 12:18 (BSB)
Context Reading
16The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests. 17At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem. 18So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers — Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah — along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem. 19As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 20And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
