 aWhen Athaliahh6271 the motherh517 of Ahaziahh274 sawh7200 that her sonh1121 was deadh4191, she roseh6965 and destroyedh6 allh3605 the royalh4467  1offspringh2233.

2

But Jehoshebah3089, the daughterh1323 of Kingh4428 Joramh3141, sisterh269 of Ahaziahh274,  atookh3947 Joashh3060 the sonh1121 of Ahaziahh274 and stoleh1589 him from amongh8432 the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 who were being puth4191 to deathh4191, and placedh5641 him and his nurseh3243 in the bedroomh2315h4296. So they hidh5641 him from Athaliahh6271, and he was not puth4191 to deathh4191.

3

So he was hiddenh2244 with her in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 sixh8337a yearsh8141, while Athaliahh6271 was reigningh4427a overh5921 the landh776.

4

 aNow in the seventhh7637 yearh8141 Jehoiadah3077 senth7971 and broughth3947 the captainsh8269 of hundredsh3967 of  bthe Caritesh3746 and of the  1guardh7323, and broughth935 them to him in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068. Then he madeh3772 a covenanth1285 with them and puth7650 them underh7650 oathh7650 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and showedh7200 them the king'sh4428 sonh1121.

5

He commandedh6680 them, sayingh559, "Thish2088 is the thingh1697 that you shall doh6213a:  aone thirdh7992 of you, who comeh935 in on the sabbathh7676 and keeph8104 watchh4931 over the king'sh4428 househ1004

6

(one thirdh7992 also shall be at the gateh8179 Surh5495, and one thirdh7992 at the gateh8179 behindh310 the  1guardsh7323),  2shall keeph8104 watchh4931 over the househ1004 for defenseh4535.

7

"Twoh8147 partsh3027 of you, even allh3605 who goh3318 out on the sabbathh7676, shall also keeph8104 watchh4931 over the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 for the kingh4428.

8

"Then you shall surroundh5362bh5439h5921 the kingh4428, eachh376 with his weaponsh3627 in his handh3027; and whoever comesh935 withinh413 the ranksh7713 shall be puth4191 to deathh4191. And  abe with the kingh4428 when he goesh3318 out and when he comesh935 in."

9

So the captainsh8269 of hundredsh3967  adidh6213a according to allh3605 that Jehoiadah3077 the priesth3548 commandedh6680. And eachh376 oneh376 of them tookh3947 his menh376 who were to comeh935 in on the sabbathh7676, with those who were to goh3318 out on the sabbathh7676, and cameh935 to Jehoiadah3077 the priesth3548.

10

 aThe priesth3548 gaveh5414 to the captainsh8269 of hundredsh3967 the spearsh2595 and shieldsh7982 that had been Kingh4428 David'sh1732, whichh834 were in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

11

The  1guardsh7323 stoodh5975 eachh376 with his weaponsh3627 in his handh3027, from the righth3233  2sideh3802 of the househ1004 to the lefth8042  2sideh3802 of the househ1004, by the altarh4196 and by the househ1004, aroundh5439 the kingh4428.

12

Then he broughth3318 the king'sh4428 sonh1121 out and  aputh5414 the crownh5145 on him and gave him  bthe testimonyh5715; and they madeh4427a him kingh4427a and anointedh4886 him, and they clappedh5221 their handsh3709 and saidh559, " cLong liveh2421a the kingh4428!"

13

 aWhen Athaliahh6271 heardh8085 the noiseh6963 of the guardh7323 and of the peopleh5971a, she cameh935 to the peopleh5971a in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

14

She lookedh7200 and beholdh2009, the kingh4428 was standingh5975  aby the pillarh5982, according to the customh4941, with the captainsh8269 and the  1trumpetersh2689 besideh413 the kingh4428; and  ballh3605 the peopleh5971a of the landh776 rejoicedh8056 and blewh8628 trumpetsh2689. Then Athaliahh6271  ctoreh7167 her clothesh899b and criedh7121, " dTreasonh7195! Treasonh7195!"

15

And Jehoiadah3077 the priesth3548 commandedh6680 the captainsh8269 of hundredsh3967 who were appointedh6485 over the armyh2428 and saidh559 to them, "Bringh3318 her out  1betweenh413h4480h1004 the ranksh7713, and whoever followsh935h310 her puth4191 to deathh4191 with the swordh2719." For the priesth3548 saidh559, "Let her not be puth4191 to deathh4191 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068."

16

So they  1seizedh7760h3027 her, and when she arrivedh935 at the horses'h5483b entranceh3996 of the king'sh4428 househ1004, she was  aputh4191 to deathh4191 thereh8033.

17

Then  aJehoiadah3077 madeh3772 a covenanth1285 betweenh996 the LORDh3068 and the kingh4428 and the peopleh5971a, that they would be the LORD'Sh3068 peopleh5971a, also  bbetweenh996 the kingh4428 and the peopleh5971a.

18

Allh3605 the peopleh5971a of the landh776 wenth935 to  athe househ1004 of Baalh1168a, and toreh5422 it downh5422;  bhis altarsh4196 and his imagesh6754 they brokeh7665 in piecesh7665 thoroughlyh3190, and  ckilledh2026 Mattanh4977 the priesth3548 of Baalh1168a beforeh6440 the altarsh4196. And the priesth3548 appointedh7760  1officersh6486 overh5921 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

19

He tookh3947 the captainsh8269 of hundredsh3967 and the  aCaritesh3746 and the  1guardsh7323 and allh3605 the peopleh5971a of the landh776; and they broughth3381 the kingh4428 downh3381 from the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and cameh935 by the wayh1870 of  bthe gateh8179 of the  1guardsh7323 to the king'sh4428 househ1004. And he sath3427 on the throneh3678 of the kingsh4428.
