2 Kings 11:1-21

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>_.
{seed...: Heb. seed of the kingdom}
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)_.
{Jehosheba: also called, Jehoshabeath} {Joash: also called, Jehoash}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_;
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>_.
{that...: or, from breaking up}
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>_.
{parts: or, companies: Heb. hands}
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{corner: Heb. shoulder}
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>_.
{God...: Heb. Let the king live}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
{officers: Heb. offices}
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>_.
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>_.
Seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
[was] Jehoash
<03060>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_.
