2 Chronicles 23

And in the seventh
<07637>
year
<08141>
Jehoiada
<03077>
strengthened
<02388> (8694)
himself, and took
<03947> (8799)
the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>_,
Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Jeroham
<03395>_,
and Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Jehohanan
<03076>_,
and Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Obed
<05744>_,
and Maaseiah
<04641>
the son
<01121>
of Adaiah
<05718>_,
and Elishaphat
<0478>
the son
<01121>
of Zichri
<02147>_,
into covenant
<01285>
with him.
And they went about
<05437> (8799)
in Judah
<03063>_,
and gathered
<06908> (8799)
the Levites
<03881>
out of all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And all the congregation
<06951>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with the king
<04428>
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Behold, the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>
shall reign
<04427> (8799)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)
of the sons
<01121>
of David
<01732>_.
This [is] the thing
<01697>
that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_;
A third part
<07992>
of you entering
<0935> (8802)
on the sabbath
<07676>_,
of the priests
<03548>
and of the Levites
<03881>_,
[shall be] porters
<07778>
of the doors
<05592>_;
{doors: Heb. thresholds}
And a third part
<07992>
[shall be] at the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_;
and a third part
<07992>
at the gate
<08179>
of the foundation
<03247>_:
and all the people
<05971>
[shall be] in the courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
But let none come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
save the priests
<03548>_,
and they that minister
<08334> (8764)
of the Levites
<03881>_;
they shall go in
<0935> (8799)_,
for they [are] holy
<06944>_:
but all the people
<05971>
shall keep
<08104> (8799)
the watch
<04931>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And the Levites
<03881>
shall compass
<05362> (8689)
the king
<04428>
round about
<05439>_,
every man
<0376>
with his weapons
<03627>
in his hand
<03027>_;
and whosoever [else] cometh
<0935> (8802)
into the house
<01004>_,
he shall be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:
but be ye with the king
<04428>
when he cometh in
<0935> (8800)_,
and when he goeth out
<03318> (8800)_.
So the Levites
<03881>
and all Judah
<03063>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to all things that Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his men
<0582>
that were to come in
<0935> (8802)
on the sabbath
<07676>_,
with them that were to go
<03318> (8802)
[out] on the sabbath
<07676>_:
for Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
dismissed
<06358> (8804)
not the courses
<04256>_.
Moreover Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
to the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>
spears
<02595>_,
and bucklers
<04043>_,
and shields
<07982>_,
that [had been] king
<04428>
David's
<01732>_,
which [were] in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
And he set
<05975> (8686)
all the people
<05971>_,
every man
<0376>
having his weapon
<07973>
in his hand
<03027>_,
from the right
<03233>
side
<03802>
of the temple
<01004>
to the left
<08042>
side
<03802>
of the temple
<01004>_,
along by the altar
<04196>
and the temple
<01004>_,
by the king
<04428>
round about
<05439>_.
{side: Heb. shoulder} {temple: Heb. house}
Then they brought out
<03318> (8686)
the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
upon him the crown
<05145>_,
and [gave him] the testimony
<05715>_,
and made him king
<04427> (8686)_.
And Jehoiada
<03077>
and his sons
<01121>
anointed
<04886> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God save
<02421> (8799)
the king
<04428>_.
{God...: Heb. Let the king live}
Now when Athaliah
<06271>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the noise
<06963>
of the people
<05971>
running
<07323> (8801)
and praising
<01984> (8764)
the king
<04428>_,
she came
<0935> (8799)
to the people
<05971>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
And she looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the king
<04428>
stood
<05975> (8802)
at his pillar
<05982>
at the entering in
<03996>_,
and the princes
<08269>
and the trumpets
<02689>
by the king
<04428>_:
and all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
rejoiced
<08056>_,
and sounded
<08628> (8802)
with trumpets
<02689>_,
also the singers
<07891> (8789)
with instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>_,
and such as taught
<03045> (8688)
to sing praise
<01984> (8763)_.
Then Athaliah
<06271>
rent
<07167> (8799)
her clothes
<0899>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Treason
<07195>_,
Treason
<07195>_.
{Treason: Heb. Conspiracy}
Then Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
brought out
<03318> (8686)
the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>
that were set over
<06485> (8803)
the host
<02428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Have her forth
<03318> (8685)
of the ranges
<01004> <07713>_:
and whoso followeth
<0935> (8802) <0310>
her, let him be slain
<04191> (8714)
with the sword
<02719>_.
For the priest
<03548>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
her not in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
So they laid
<07760> (8799)
hands
<03027>
on her; and when she was come
<0935> (8799)
to the entering
<03996>
of the horse
<05483>
gate
<08179>
by the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
they slew
<04191> (8686)
her there.
And Jehoiada
<03077>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
between him, and between all the people
<05971>_,
and between the king
<04428>_,
that they should be the LORD'S
<03068>
people
<05971>_.
Then all the people
<05971>
went
<0935> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of Baal
<01168>_,
and brake it down
<05422> (8799)_,
and brake
<07665> (0)
his altars
<04196>
and his images
<06754>
in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,
and slew
<02026> (8804)
Mattan
<04977>
the priest
<03548>
of Baal
<01168>
before
<06440>
the altars
<04196>_.
Also Jehoiada
<03077>
appointed
<07760> (8799)
the offices
<06486>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
by the hand
<03027>
of the priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>_,
whom David
<01732>
had distributed
<02505> (8804)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to offer
<05927> (8687)
the burnt offerings
<05930>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_,
with rejoicing
<08057>
and with singing
<07892>_,
[as it was ordained] by
<03027>
David
<01732>_.
{as it was...: Heb. by the hands of David}
And he set
<05975> (8686)
the porters
<07778>
at the gates
<08179>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that none [which was] unclean
<02931>
in any thing
<01697>
should enter in
<0935> (8799)_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>_,
and the nobles
<0117>_,
and the governors
<04910> (8802)
of the people
<05971>_,
and all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
and brought down
<03381> (8686)
the king
<04428>
from the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and they came
<0935> (8799)
through
<08432>
the high
<05945>
gate
<08179>
into the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and set
<03427> (8686)
the king
<04428>
upon the throne
<03678>
of the kingdom
<04467>_.
And all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_:
and the city
<05892>
was quiet
<08252> (8804)_,
after that they had slain
<04191> (8689)
Athaliah
<06271>
with the sword
<02719>_.
