2 Chronicles 24:5 in Context — 2 Chronicles 24

3 Jehojada prit pour Joas deux femmes, et Joas engendra des fils et des filles.

4 Après cela, Joas eut la pensée de réparer la maison de l’Éternel.

5 Il assembla les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et leur dit: Allez par les villes de Juda, et vous recueillerez dans tout Israël de l’argent, chaque année, pour réparer la maison de votre Dieu; et mettez à cette affaire de l’empressement. Mais les Lévites ne se hâtèrent point.

6 Le roi appela Jehojada, le souverain sacrificateur, et lui dit: Pourquoi n’as-tu pas veillé à ce que les Lévites apportassent de Juda et de Jérusalem l’impôt ordonné par Moïse, serviteur de l’Éternel, et mis sur l’assemblée d’Israël pour la tente du témoignage?

7 Car l’impie Athalie et ses fils ont ravagé la maison de Dieu et fait servir pour les Baals toutes les choses consacrées à la maison de l’Éternel.
