¹ And in the seventh ^H7637 year ^H8141 Jehoiada ^H3077 strengthened ^H2388 himself, and took ^H3947 the captains ^H8269 of hundreds, ^H3967 Azariah ^H5838 the son ^H1121 of Jeroham, ^H3395 and Ishmael ^H3458 the son ^H1121 of Jehohanan, ^H3076 and Azariah ^H5838 the son ^H1121 of Obed, ^H5744 and Maaseiah ^H4641 the son ^H1121 of Adaiah, ^H5718 and Elishaphat ^H478 the son ^H1121 of Zichri, ^H2147 into covenant ^H1285 with him.

² And they went about ^H5437 in Judah, ^H3063 and gathered ^H6908 the Levites ^H3881 out of all the cities ^H5892 of Judah, ^H3063 and the chief ^H7218 of the fathers ^H1 of Israel, ^H3478 and they came ^H935 to Jerusalem. ^H3389

³ And all the congregation ^H6951 made ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 with the king ^H4428 in the house ^H1004 of God. ^H430 And he said ^H559 unto them, Behold, the king's ^H4428 son ^H1121 shall reign, ^H4427 as the LORD ^H3068 hath said ^H1696 of the sons ^H1121 of David. ^H1732

⁴ This is the thing ^H1697 that ye shall do; ^H6213 A third part ^H7992 of you entering ^H935 on the sabbath, ^H7676 of the priests ^H3548 and of the Levites, ^H3881 shall be porters ^H7778 of the doors; ^H5592

⁵ And a third part ^H7992 shall be at the king's ^H4428 house; ^H1004 and a third part ^H7992 at the gate ^H8179 of the foundation: ^H3247 and all the people ^H5971 shall be in the courts ^H2691 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

⁶ But let none come ^H935 into the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 save the priests, ^H3548 and they that minister ^H8334 of the Levites; ^H3881 they shall go in, ^H935 for they are holy: ^H6944 but all the people ^H5971 shall keep ^H8104 the watch ^H4931 of the LORD. ^H3068

⁷ And the Levites ^H3881 shall compass ^H5362 the king ^H4428 round about, ^H5439 every man ^H376 with his weapons ^H3627 in his hand; ^H3027 and whosoever else cometh ^H935 into the house, ^H1004 he shall be put to death: ^H4191 but be ye with the king ^H4428 when he cometh in, ^H935 and when he goeth out. ^H3318

⁸ So the Levites ^H3881 and all Judah ^H3063 did ^H6213 according to all things that Jehoiada ^H3077 the priest ^H3548 had commanded, ^H6680 and took ^H3947 every man ^H376 his men ^H582 that were to come in ^H935 on the sabbath, ^H7676 with them that were to go ^H3318 out on the sabbath: ^H7676 for Jehoiada ^H3077 the priest ^H3548 dismissed ^H6358 not the courses. ^H4256

⁹ Moreover Jehoiada ^H3077 the priest ^H3548 delivered ^H5414 to the captains ^H8269 of hundreds ^H3967 spears, ^H2595 and bucklers, ^H4043 and shields, ^H7982 that had been king ^H4428 David's, ^H1732 which were in the house ^H1004 of God. ^H430

¹⁰ And he set ^H5975 all the people, ^H5971 every man ^H376 having his weapon ^H7973 in his hand, ^H3027 from the right ^H3233 side ^H3802 of the temple ^H1004 to the left ^H8042 side ^H3802 of the temple, ^H1004 along by the altar ^H4196 and the temple, ^H1004 by the king ^H4428 round about. ^H5439

¹¹ Then they brought out ^H3318 the king's ^H4428 son, ^H1121 and put ^H5414 upon him the crown, ^H5145 and gave him the testimony, ^H5715 and made him king. ^H4427 And Jehoiada ^H3077 and his sons ^H1121 anointed ^H4886 him, and said, ^H559 God save ^H2421 the king. ^H4428

¹² Now when Athaliah ^H6271 heard ^H8085 the noise ^H6963 of the people ^H5971 running ^H7323 and praising ^H1984 the king, ^H4428 she came ^H935 to the people ^H5971 into the house ^H1004 of the LORD: ^H3068

¹³ And she looked, ^H7200 and, behold, the king ^H4428 stood ^H5975 at his pillar ^H5982 at the entering in, ^H3996 and the princes ^H8269 and the trumpets ^H2689 by the king: ^H4428 and all the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 rejoiced, ^H8056 and sounded ^H8628 with trumpets, ^H2689 also the singers ^H7891 with instruments ^H3627 of musick, ^H7892 and such as taught ^H3045 to sing praise. ^H1984 Then Athaliah ^H6271 rent ^H7167 her clothes, ^H899 and said, ^H559 Treason, ^H7195 Treason. ^H7195

¹⁴ Then Jehoiada ^H3077 the priest ^H3548 brought out ^H3318 the captains ^H8269 of hundreds ^H3967 that were set over ^H6485 the host, ^H2428 and said ^H559 unto them, Have her forth ^H3318 of the ranges: ^{H1004 H7713} and whoso followeth ^{H935 H310} her, let him be slain ^H4191 with the sword. ^H2719 For the priest ^H3548 said, ^H559 Slay ^H4191 her not in the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

¹⁵ So they laid ^H7760 hands ^H3027 on her; and when she was come ^H935 to the entering ^H3996 of the horse ^H5483 gate ^H8179 by the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 they slew ^H4191 her there.

¹⁶ And Jehoiada ^H3077 made ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 between him, and between all the people, ^H5971 and between the king, ^H4428 that they should be the LORD'S ^H3068 people. ^H5971

¹⁷ Then all the people ^H5971 went ^H935 to the house ^H1004 of Baal, ^H1168 and brake it down, ^H5422 and brake ^H7665 his altars ^H4196 and his images ^H6754 in pieces, ^H7665 and slew ^H2026 Mattan ^H4977 the priest ^H3548 of Baal ^H1168 before ^H6440 the altars. ^H4196

¹⁸ Also Jehoiada ^H3077 appointed ^H7760 the offices ^H6486 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068 by the hand ^H3027 of the priests ^H3548 the Levites, ^H3881 whom David ^H1732 had distributed ^H2505 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 to offer ^H5927 the burnt offerings ^H5930 of the LORD, ^H3068 as it is written ^H3789 in the law ^H8451 of Moses, ^H4872 with rejoicing ^H8057 and with singing, ^H7892 as it was ordained by ^H3027 David. ^H1732

¹⁹ And he set ^H5975 the porters ^H7778 at the gates ^H8179 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 that none which was unclean ^H2931 in any thing ^H1697 should enter in. ^H935

²⁰ And he took ^H3947 the captains ^H8269 of hundreds, ^H3967 and the nobles, ^H117 and the governors ^H4910 of the people, ^H5971 and all the people ^H5971 of the land, ^H776 and brought down ^H3381 the king ^H4428 from the house ^H1004 of the LORD: ^H3068 and they came ^H935 through ^H8432 the high ^H5945 gate ^H8179 into the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 and set ^H3427 the king ^H4428 upon the throne ^H3678 of the kingdom. ^H4467

²¹ And all the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 rejoiced: ^H8055 and the city ^H5892 was quiet, ^H8252 after that they had slain ^H4191 Athaliah ^H6271 with the sword. ^H2719
