1 # And when Athaliah <06271> the mother <0517> of Ahaziah <0274> saw <07200> (8804) that her son <01121> was dead <04191> (8804), she arose <06965> (8799) and destroyed <06> (8762) all the seed <02233> royal <04467>.
2 But Jehosheba <03089>, the daughter <01323> of king <04428> Joram <03141>, sister <0269> of Ahaziah <0274> , took <03947> (8799) Joash <03101> the son <01121> of Ahaziah <0274>, and stole <01589> (8799) him from among <08432> the king's <04428> sons <01121> which were slain <04191> (8716); and they hid <05641> (8686) him, even him and his nurse <03243> (8688), in the bedchamber <02315> <04296> from <06440> Athaliah <06271>, so that he was not slain <04191> (8717).
3 And he was with her hid <02244> (8693) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> six <08337> years <08141> . And Athaliah <06271> did reign <04427> (8802) over the land <0776>.
4 # And the seventh <07637> year <08141> Jehoiada <03077> sent <07971> (8804) and fetched <03947> (8799) the rulers <08269> over hundreds <03967>, with the captains <03746> and the guard <07323> (8801), and brought <0935> (8686) them to him into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with them, and took an oath <07650> (8686) of them in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and shewed <07200> (8686) them the king's <04428> son <01121>.
5 And he commanded <06680> (8762) them, saying <0559> (8800), This is the thing <01697> that ye shall do <06213> (8799); A third part <07992> of you that enter in <0935> (8802) on the sabbath <07676> shall even be keepers <08104> (8802) of the watch <04931> of the king's <04428> house <01004>;
6 And a third part <07992> shall be at the gate <08179> of Sur <05495>; and a third part <07992> at the gate <08179> behind <0310> the guard <07323> (8801): so shall ye keep <08104> (8804) the watch <04931> of the house <01004> , that it be not broken down <04535>.
7 And two <08147> parts <03027> of all you that go forth <03318> (8802) on the sabbath <07676>, even they shall keep <08104> (8804) the watch <04931> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> about <0413> the king <04428>.
8 And ye shall compass <05362> (8689) the king <04428> round about <05439>, every man <0376> with his weapons <03627> in his hand <03027>: and he that cometh <0935> (8802) within the ranges <07713>, let him be slain <04191> (8714) : and be ye with the king <04428> as he goeth out <03318> (8800) and as he cometh in <0935> (8800).
9 And the captains <08269> over the hundreds <03967> did <06213> (8799) according to all things that Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> commanded <06680> (8765): and they took <03947> (8799) every man <0376> his men <0582> that were to come in <0935> (8802) on the sabbath <07676>, with them that should go out <03318> (8802) on the sabbath <07676> , and came <0935> (8799) to Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>.
10 And to the captains <08269> over hundreds <03967> did the priest <03548> give <05414> (8799) king <04428> David's <01732> spears <02595> and shields <07982>, that were in the temple <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
11 And the guard <07323> (8801) stood <05975> (8799), every man <0376> with his weapons <03627> in his hand <03027>, round about <05439> the king <04428>, from the right <03233> corner <03802> of the temple <01004> to the left <08042> corner <03802> of the temple <01004>, along by the altar <04196> and the temple <01004>.
12 And he brought forth <03318> (8686) the king's <04428> son <01121>, and put <05414> (8799) the crown <05145> upon him, and gave him the testimony <05715>; and they made him king <04427> (8686), and anointed <04886> (8799) him; and they clapped <05221> (8686) their hands <03709>, and said <0559> (8799), God save <02421> (8799) the king <04428>.
13 # And when Athaliah <06271> heard <08085> (8799) the noise <06963> of the guard <07323> (8801) and of the people <05971>, she came <0935> (8799) to the people <05971> into the temple <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
14 And when she looked <07200> (8799), behold, the king <04428> stood <05975> (8802) by a pillar <05982> , as the manner <04941> was, and the princes <08269> and the trumpeters <02689> by the king <04428>, and all the people <05971> of the land <0776> rejoiced <08056>, and blew <08628> (8802) with trumpets <02689>: and Athaliah <06271> rent <07167> (8799) her clothes <0899>, and cried <07121> (8799), Treason <07195>, Treason <07195>.
15 But Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> commanded <06680> (8762) the captains <08269> of the hundreds <03967>, the officers <06485> (8803) of the host <02428>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Have her forth <03318> (8685) without <01004> the ranges <07713>: and him that followeth <0935> (8802) <0310> her kill <04191> (8687) with the sword <02719>. For the priest <03548> had said <0559> (8804), Let her not be slain <04191> (8714) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
16 And they laid <07760> (8799) hands <03027> on her; and she went <0935> (8799) by the way <01870> by the which the horses <05483> came <03996> into the king's <04428> house <01004>: and there was she slain <04191> (8714).
17 # And Jehoiada <03077> made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> between the LORD <03068> and the king <04428> and the people <05971>, that they should be the LORD'S <03068> people <05971>; between the king <04428> also and the people <05971> .
18 And all the people <05971> of the land <0776> went <0935> (8799) into the house <01004> of Baal <01168> , and brake it down <05422> (8799); his altars <04196> and his images <06754> brake they in pieces <07665> (8765) thoroughly <03190> (8687), and slew <02026> (8804) Mattan <04977> the priest <03548> of Baal <01168> before <06440> the altars <04196>. And the priest <03548> appointed <07760> (8799) officers <06485> (8803) (8676) <06486> over the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
19 And he took <03947> (8799) the rulers <08269> over hundreds <03967>, and the captains <03746>, and the guard <07323> (8801), and all the people <05971> of the land <0776>; and they brought down <03381> (8686) the king <04428> from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and came <0935> (8799) by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> of the guard <07323> (8801) to the king's <04428> house <01004>. And he sat <03427> (8799) on the throne <03678> of the kings <04428>.
20 And all the people <05971> of the land <0776> rejoiced <08055> (8799), and the city <05892> was in quiet <08252> (8804): and they slew <04191> (8689) Athaliah <06271> with the sword <02719> beside the king's <04428> house <01004>.
21 Seven <07651> years <08141> old <01121> was Jehoash <03060> when he began to reign <04427> (8800).
