2 Kings 12:18
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
Cross-reference
In 12:4, Joash orders money collected for temple repairs; here he gives that same treasury to Hazael. A stark contrast between restoration and surrender.
In 2 Kings 18:16, Hezekiah strips gold from temple doors to pay Assyria — an even more extreme parallel of plundering temple treasures.
In 16:8, Ahaz of Judah likewise takes silver and gold from the temple and palace to bribe the king of Assyria. Nearly identical action.
In 15:19, Menahem of Israel also pays tribute from the royal treasury to an Assyrian king. Both kings use temple/palace wealth to buy off invaders.
In 2 Kings 18:15, Hezekiah gives all silver from the temple and palace to Assyria — a parallel act of tribute by a later Judahite king.
In 1 Kings 15:18, Asa sends temple and palace treasures to Syria to hire Benhadad — a direct parallel of buying off a Syrian king with sacred wealth.
In 2 Chronicles 16:2, the same tribute by Asa to Syria is recorded — a parallel account of a Judahite king using temple treasures for political alliance.
In 1 Chronicles 18:11, David consecrates captured silver and gold to the Lord. Contrast: David added to the treasury; Joash stripped it to pay an enemy.
In 2 Chronicles 24:27, the chronicler notes Joash's earlier temple repairs. Contrast: he once restored the house of God, later desecrated it by giving its treasures away.
In 2 Chronicles 24:23, the Aramean army later attacks and plunders Jerusalem. This shows the tribute did not secure lasting peace.
