2CH-23:1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself,
and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham,
and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed,
and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri,
into covenant with him.
2CH-23:2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites
out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of
Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
2CH-23:3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king
in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's
son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
2CH-23:4 This [is] the thing that ye shall do; A third part of
you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites,
[shall be] porters of the doors;
2CH-23:5 And a third part [shall be] at the king's house; and a
third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people
[shall be] in the courts of the house of the LORD.
2CH-23:6 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the
priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in,
for they [are] holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of
the LORD.
2CH-23:7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about,
every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever [else]
cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with
the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
2CH-23:8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all
things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every
man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that
were to go [out] on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest
dismissed not the courses.
2CH-23:9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains
of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that [had been]
king David's, which [were] in the house of God.
2CH-23:10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon
in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side
of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king
round about.
2CH-23:11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him
the crown, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king. And
Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
2CH-23:12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people
running and praising the king, she came to the people into the
house of the LORD:
2CH-23:13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his
pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by
the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded
with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and
such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes,
and said, Treason, Treason.
2CH-23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of
hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have
her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be
slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the
house of the LORD.
2CH-23:15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to
the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew
her there.
2CH-23:16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between
all the people, and between the king, that they should be the
LORD'S people.
2CH-23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and
brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces,
and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
2CH-23:18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of
the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had
distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt
offerings of the LORD, as [it is] written in the law of Moses,
with rejoicing and with singing, [as it was ordained] by David.
2CH-23:19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of
the LORD, that none [which was] unclean in any thing should
enter in.
2CH-23:20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles,
and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land,
and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they
came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the
king upon the throne of the kingdom.
2CH-23:21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city
was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
