(왕하12:1-21)
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba. 2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 3 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there. 4 Joash said to the priests, "Collect all the money that is brought as sacred offerings to the temple of the LORD--the money collected in the census, the money received from personal vows and the money brought voluntarily to the temple. 5 Let every priest receive the money from one of the treasurers, and let it be used to repair whatever damage is found in the temple." 6 But by the twenty-third year of King Joash the priests still had not repaired the temple. 7 Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, "Why aren't you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple." 8 The priests agreed that they would not collect any more money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves. 9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the LORD. The priests who guarded the entrance put into the chest all the money that was brought to the temple of the LORD. 10 Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the LORD and put it into bags. 11 When the amount had been determined, they gave the money to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. With it they paid those who worked on the temple of the LORD--the carpenters and builders, 12 the masons and stonecutters. They purchased timber and dressed stone for the repair of the temple of the LORD, and met all the other expenses of restoring the temple. 13 The money brought into the temple was not spent for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets or any other articles of gold or silver for the temple of the LORD; 14 it was paid to the workmen, who used it to repair the temple. 15 They did not require an accounting from those to whom they gave the money to pay the workers, because they acted with complete honesty. 16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the temple of the LORD; it belonged to the priests. 17 About this time Hazael king of Aram went up and attacked Gath and captured it. Then he turned to attack Jerusalem. 18 But Joash king of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers--Jehoshaphat, Jehoram and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah--and the gifts he himself had dedicated and all the gold found in the treasuries of the temple of the LORD and of the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram, who then withdrew from Jerusalem. 19 As for the other events of the reign of Joash, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 His officials conspired against him and assassinated him at Beth Millo, on the road down to Silla. 21 The officials who murdered him were Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer. He died and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Amaziah his son succeeded him as king.

아달랴에게서 극적으로 살아난 요아스
7세의 나이로 왕위에 등극
오늘의 본문은 그가 예루살렘에서 40년동안 통치했다고 한다
그리고
그의 어머니는 ‘지비야(Zibiah)라 하고
그를 지켜주고 왕이 되게 한 여호야다 제사장이 사는 날 동안
하나님 앞에 의롭게 통치했다 보고한다
그는 통치기간 중
하나님의 성전을 보수한 것으로 유명한데
당시 봉헌방법은 관행이 되어
오늘날까지 지켜오는 것이라는 점에서 인상이 깊다
그러니까 요시아를 의로운 통치가가 되게 된 것은
제사장 여호야다의 죽음과 함께 변질 되었다는 기록을 보면
그리고 아람왕 하사엘이 예루살렘을 포위했을 때 보여준 그의 행위
결국 신하들에 의해 좌지우지(左之右之) 갈팡지팡하다가 결국 실라로 내려가는 벧-밀로에서 시해당했다는 점에서 주변 인물들이 누구냐가 그렇게 중요한 것이라는 하나님의 메시지를 듣는 듯 하다
여호세바 여호야다
그리고 그의 어머니 지비아
하나님은 이들이 요시아의 주변에 있으면서
훌륭한 멘토 역할을 해 주었기에 요시아가 타락의 길을 걷지 않았다는 말씀을 하시는 것 같다
늘 개혁주의(改革主義)
계시신학(啓示神學) 언약신학(言約神學) 구속사신학(救贖史神學) 차원(次元)을 고집하며 살아 온 세월
나의 멘토는 성경이며
요아스의 멘토들을 다 죽었으나 나의 멘토는 영원할 터이니...
주여 !
내 생명 다 하는 날 까지...
저의 사명이 다 하는 그 날 까지
결코 흔들리거나 좌우로 치우치지 않게 도와주소서...주여!
