2 Chronicles 24:3

Jehoiada

1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.

2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

Jehoiada took for himself two wives, and he had sons and daughters.

4 Some time later, Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.

5 So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
