Now in the seventh
year
Jehoiada
strengthened
himself, and took
captains
of hundreds:
Azariah
the son
of Jeroham,
Ishmael
the son
of Johanan,
Azariah
the son
of Obed,
Maaseiah
the son
of Adaiah,
and Elishaphat
the son
of Zichri,
and they entered into a covenant
with him.
2
They went throughout
Judah
and gathered
the Levites
from all
the cities
of
Judah
,
and the heads
of the fathers'
households of Israel,
and they came
to Jerusalem.
3
Then all
the assembly
made
a covenant
with the king
in the house
of God.
And Jehoiada said
to them, "Behold,
the king's
son
shall reign,
as the LORD
has spoken
concerning
the
son
s
of David.
4
"This
is the thing
which
you shall do:
one third
of you, of the priests
and Levites
who come
in on the sabbath,
shall be gatekeepers,
5
and one third
shall be at the king's
house,
and a third
at the Gate
of the Foundation;
and all
the people
shall be in the courts
of the house
of the LORD.
6
"But let no
one enter
the house
of the LORD
except
the priests
and the ministering
Levites;
they may enter,
for they are holy.
And let all
the people
keep
the charge
of the LORD
.
7
"The Levites
will surround
the king,
each man
with his weapons
in his hand;
and whoever enters
the house,
let him be killed.
Thus be with the king
when he comes
in and when he goes
out."
8
So the Levites
and all
Judah
did
according to all
that Jehoiada
the priest
commanded.
And each
one
of them took
his men
who were to come
in on the sabbath,
with those who were to go
out on the sabbath,
for Jehoiada
the priest
did
not dismiss
any of the divisions.
9
Then Jehoiada
the priest
gave
to the captains
of hundreds
the spears
and the large
and small shields
which
had been King
David's,
which
were in the house
of God.
10
He stationed
all
the people,
each man
with his weapon
in his hand,
from the right
side
of the house
to the left
side
of the house
,
by the altar
and by the house,
around
the king.
11
Then they brought
out the king's
son
and put
the crown
on him, and gave him the testimony
and made him king.
And Jehoiada
and his
son
s
anointed
him and said,
"Long live
the king!"
12
When Athaliah
heard
the noise
of the people
running
and praising
the king,
she came
into the house
of the LORD
to the people.
13
She looked,
and behold,
the king
was standing
by his pillar
at the entrance,
and the captains
and the trumpeters
were beside
the king
.
And all
the people
of the land
rejoiced
and blew
trumpets,
the singers
with their musical
instruments
leading
the praise.
Then Athaliah
tore
her clothes
and said,
"Treason!
Treason!"
14
Jehoiada
the priest
brought
out the captains
of hundreds
who were appointed
over the army
and said
to them, "Bring
her out between
the ranks;
and whoever follows
her, put
to death
with the sword."
For
the priest
said,
"Let her not be put
to death
in the house
of the LORD."
15
So they seized
her, and when she arrived
at the entrance
of the Horse
Gate
of the king's
house,
they put her to death
there.
16
Then Jehoiada
made
a covenant
between
himself and all
the people
and the king,
that they would be the LORD'S
people.
17
And all
the people
went
to the house
of Baal
and tore it down,
and they broke in pieces
his altars
and his images,
and killed
Mattan
the priest
of Baal
before
the altars.
18
Moreover, Jehoiada
placed
the offices
of
the house
of the LORD
under the authority
of the Levitical
priests,
whom
David
had assigned
over
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 singing
according
to the order
of
David
.
19
He stationed
the gatekeepers
of the house
of the LORD,
so that no
one would enter
who was in any
way
unclean.
20
He took
the captains
of hundreds,
the nobles,
the rulers
of
the people
and all
the people
of the land,
and brought
the king
down
from the house
of the LORD,
and came
through
the upper
gate
to
the king
's
house.
And they placed
the king
upon the royal
throne.
21
So all
of the people
of the land
rejoiced
and the city
was quiet.
For they had put
Athaliah
to death
with the sword.
