2KI-11:1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her
son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2KI-11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of
Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among
the king's sons [which were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him
and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was
not slain.
2KI-11:3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six
years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
2KI-11:4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the
rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and
brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a
covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the
LORD, and showed them the king's son.
2KI-11:5 And he commanded them, saying, This [is] the thing that
ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath
shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
2KI-11:6 And a third part [shall be] at the gate of Sur; and a
third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the
watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
2KI-11:7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath,
even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about
the king.
2KI-11:8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man
with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the
ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth
out and as he cometh in.
2KI-11:9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all
[things] that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every
man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that
should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
2KI-11:10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give
king David's spears and shields, that [were] in the temple of
the LORD.
2KI-11:11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his
hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple
to the left corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and the
temple.
2KI-11:12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown
upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king,
and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God
save the king.
2KI-11:13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and]
of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the
LORD.
2KI-11:14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a
pillar, as the manner [was], and the princes and the trumpeters
by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew
with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason,
Treason.
2KI-11:15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the
hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her
forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with
the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the
house of the LORD.
2KI-11:16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by
the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was
she slain.
2KI-11:17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the
king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people;
between the king also and the people.
2KI-11:18 And all the people of the land went into the house of
Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in
pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the
altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the
LORD.
2KI-11:19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains,
and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought
down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of
the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the
throne of the kings.
2KI-11:20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city
was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword [beside] the
king's house.
2KI-11:21 Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign.
