“Da sprachen die Leute der Stadt zu Joas: Gib deinen Sohn heraus; er muß sterben, daß er den Altar Baals zerbrochen und das Ascherabild dabei abgehauen hat.”

“Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it."”

“Alors les gens de la ville dirent à Joas: Fais sortir ton fils, et qu`il meure, car il a renversé l`autel de Baal et abattu le pieu sacré qui était dessus.”
