YAH ASH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
Yah Ash is a son of seven years when he begins to reign; and he reigns forty years in Yeru Shalem. The name of his mother, Zib Yah of Beer Sheba. 2 And Yah Ash works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh all the days of Yah Yada the priest: 3 And Yah Yada takes two women and births sons and daughters. 4
YAH ASH RENEWS THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH
And so be it, after this, it is in the heart of Yah Ash to renew the house of Yah Veh: 5 and he gathers the priests and the Leviym and says to them, Go to the cities of Yah Hudah and gather silver of all Yisra El to strengthen the house of your Elohim - enough year by year and see that you hasten the word. And the Leviym hasten not: 6 and the sovereign calls for Yah Yada the head and says to him, Why have you not required of the Leviym to bring in the burden from Yah Hudah and from Yeru Shalem according to Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh? And of the congregation of Yisra El for the tent of witness? 7 For the sons of Athal Yah the wicked breached the house of Elohim; and they also worked all the holies of the house of Yah Veh to the Baalim. 8 And the sovereign says, and they work one ark; and give it outside the portal of the house of Yah Veh: 9 and they give voice in Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem, to bring in the burden Mosheh the servant of Elohim laid on Yisra El in the wilderness to Yah Veh. 10 And all the governors and all the people cheer and bring and cast in the ark until they finish. 11 And so be it, that at the time, they bring in the ark for the oversight of the sovereign by the hand of the Leviym; and they see there is much silver: and the scribe of the sovereign and the overseer of the head priest come and empty the ark and lift it and return it to his place: thus they work day by day and gather silver in abundance. 12 And the sovereign and Yah Yada give it to such as work the work of the service of the house of Yah Veh; and hire hewers and artificers to renew the house of Yah Veh; and also artificers of iron and copper to strengthen the house of Yah Veh: 13 and the workers work and healing ascends on the work of their hand; and they stand the house of Elohim in quantity and strengthen it. 14 And they finish; and they bring the remainder of the silver at the face of the sovereign and Yah Yada; and they work instruments for the house of Yah Veh - instruments of ministry and of holocaust and bowls - even instruments of gold and silver: and they holocaust holocausts in the house of Yah Veh continually all the days of Yah Yada. 15 And Yah Yada ages, satisfied of days and he dies; a son of a hundred and thirty years when he dies: 16 and they entomb him among the sovereigns in the city of David because he worked good in Yisra El - both toward Elohim and toward his house. 17 And after the death of Yah Yada the governors of Yah Hudah come and prostrate to the sovereign: then the sovereign hearkens to them: 18 and they forsake the house of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers and serve asherim and idols; and rage comes upon Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem for this their guilt: 19 and he sends prophets among them to return them to Yah Veh: and they witness against them; but they hearken not. 20 And the Spirit of Elohim enrobes Zechar Yah the son of Yah Yada the priest - who stands above the people and says to them, Thus says Elohim, Why trespass you the misvoth of Yah Veh, and prosper not? Because you forsake Yah Veh, he forsakes you. 21 And at the misvah of the sovereign they conspire against him; and stone him with stones in the court of the house of Yah Veh. 22 Thus Yah Ash the sovereign remembers not the mercy Yah Yada his father worked to him; but slaughters his son. And as he dies, he says, Yah Veh sees and requires. 23
ARAM ASCENDS AGAINST YAH HUDAH AND YERU SHALEM
And so be it, at the revolution of the year, the valiant of Aram ascend against him: and they come to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem and ruin all the governors of the people from among the people; and send all their spoil to the sovereign of Dammeseq. 24 For the valiant of Aram come with little men; and Yah Veh gives a mighty great valiant into their hand, because they forsook Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers: thus they work judgments against Yah Ash. 25
THE DEATH OF YAH ASH
And they go from him - for they leave him in great diseases and his own servants conspire against him for the blood of the sons of Yah Yada the priest; and slaughter him on his bed and he dies: and they entomb him in the city of David; and entomb him not in the tombs of the sovereigns. 26 And these are they who conspire against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath, an Ammoniyth and Yah Zabad the son of Shimrith, a Moabiyth. 27 And as for his sons and his greatened burdens and the foundation of the house of Elohim, behold, they are inscribed in the commentary of the scroll of the sovereigns. And Amaz Yah his son reigns in his stead.
