Young's Literal Translation
Then
in the seventh year ,
Jehoiada strengthened himself and made
a
covenant
with
the commanders
of hundreds —with
Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
And
in the seventh year hath
Jehoiada strengthened himself ,
and taketh
the heads
of the
hundreds ,
even
Azariah son of Jeroham, and
Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and
Azariah son of Obed, and
Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri ,
with
him
into
covenant
.
So
they went
throughout
Judah and gathered
the Levites from
all the cities of Judah and the
heads of the families
of Israel .
And when
they
came
to
Jerusalem,
And
they go
round
about
in
Judah ,
and gather
the Levites out
of
all the cities of Judah ,
and heads of the fathers
of Israel ,
and come
in
unto
Jerusalem,
the whole
assembly made
a covenant with
the
king
in the house of God .
“Behold
, the king’s
son !”
said
Jehoiada.
“He
must
reign, just
as the
LORD
promised
concerning the descendants
of David.
and
all
the assembly make
a covenant in the house of God with
the
king
, and
he
saith
to
them,
`Lo,
the son of
the
king
doth
reign, as Jehovah
spake
concerning the sons
of David.
This is what
you
are
to
do: A
third of you priests
and
Levites
who
come
on
duty
on the Sabbath shall
keep
watch
at
the doors
,
`
This `
is '
the
thing
that
ye
do: The
third of you ,
going
in
on the sabbath ,
of
the priests
, and
of
the
Levites,
`are'
for
gatekeepers
of
the
thresholds,
a
third shall
be
at the royal
palace
, and a
third at the Foundation
Gate, while
all the others
are in the courtyards
of the house of the
LORD
.
and
the
third `are'
at the house
of
the
king
, and the
third at the gate of
the
foundation
, and
all the people
`
are '
in the courts
of the house of Jehovah
.
No
one
is
to
enter the house of the
LORD
except the priests and those Levites who
serve;
they may
enter
because
they are consecrated
, but
all the people are
to
obey
the requirement
of the
LORD.
`And
none
doth
enter the house of Jehovah
except the priests ,
and those ministering
of
the
Levites (
they go
in
for
they `
are '
holy)
, and
all the people keep
the watch
of Jehovah:
The Levites must
surround
the king with weapons
in hand, and anyone
who enters
the temple
must
be
put to death .
You
must
stay
close
to
the king wherever
he
goes
. ”
and
the Levites have
compassed
the king round
about,
each
with his
weapon
in his
hand, and he
who hath
gone
in
unto
the house
is
put to death ;
and
be
ye
with
the king in
his
coming
in
and
in
his
going
out
. '
So
the Levites and all Judah did
everything
that Jehoiada the priest had
ordered.
Each of
them
took
his men —those
coming
on
duty
on the Sabbath and
those going off
duty—
for Jehoiada the priest had
not released
any
of
the divisions
.
And
the Levites and all Judah do
according
to
all
that Jehoiada the priest hath
commanded,
and
take
each his men going
in
on the sabbath ,
with
those going out
on
the
sabbath,
for Jehoiada the priest hath
not let
away
the courses
.
Then
Jehoiada the priest gave
to the commanders
of hundreds the spears and the large
and
small
shields of
King David
that were
in the house of God .
And
Jehoiada the priest giveth
to the heads
of the
hundreds the spears ,
and the shields ,
and
the
bucklers
that
`are'
king David's,
that `are'
in the house of God ;
He stationed
all
the troops
, with
their
weapons
in hand, surrounding
the king
by
the altar
and
the temple
, from
the south
side
to
the north
side
of
the temple
.
and
he stationeth
the whole
of
the
people
, and
each
his
dart
in his
hand, from
the right
shoulder
of
the house
unto
the left
shoulder
of
the
house
, at
the altar,
and
at
the house,
by
the king,
round
about
.
Then
Jehoiada
and his
sons
brought
out the king’s
son, put the crown on
him
, presented
him
with
the Testimony, and proclaimed
him king.
They
anointed
him and shouted
, “Long
live
the king! ”
And they
bring
out the son of
the
king
, and
put upon
him
the crown, and
the testimony, and cause
him to
reign;
and
Jehoiada
and
his
sons
anoint
him ,
and say
, `Let
the king live
! '
When
Athaliah heard
the noise
of the people running and cheering
the king, she went
out
to
them
in the house of the
LORD.
And
Athaliah heareth
the voice
of the people who
are
running ,
and who
are
praising
the king, and
she cometh
in unto
the people
in
the
house of Jehovah,
And she
looked
out
and saw
the king standing by his pillar at
the entrance .
The officers
and trumpeters
were
beside
the king, and all the people of the land were
rejoicing and blowing
trumpets, while
the singers with musical
instruments were
leading
the praises.
Then
Athaliah tore
her clothes
and screamed
, “Treason
, treason!”
and seeth,
and lo,
the king is
standing by his pillar in
the entrance ,
and
the heads,
and the trumpets
`are'
by
the
king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting
with
trumpets, and
the singers with instruments of
song,
and
the teachers,
to
praise,
and
Athaliah rendeth
her garments,
and saith
, `Conspiracy
, conspiracy.'
And Jehoiada the priest sent
out the commanders
of hundreds in
charge
of the army
, saying
, “Bring
her out between
the ranks
, and put to the sword anyone
who
follows
her.”
For the priest had
said, “She
must
not
be
put to death in the house of the
LORD
. ”
And Jehoiada the priest bringeth
out the heads
of the
hundreds ,
inspectors
of the force
, and
saith
unto
them
, `Take
her out from
within
the rows
, and he
who
hath
gone
after
her
is
put to death
by
the sword ;'
for the priest said, `
Put her
not
to death `
in '
the house of Jehovah
. '
So
they seized
Athaliah
as
she reached
the entrance of the Horse
Gate to
the palace
grounds
, and there
they put her to death.
And
they make
for
her
sides,
and
she cometh
in
unto
the entrance of the gate of
the horses
at
the
house
of
the
king
, and they put her to death there
.
Then
Jehoiada made
a covenant between himself
and the king
and the people
that
they
would
be the
LORD’s
people .
And
Jehoiada maketh
a covenant between him,
and between
all
the people,
and between
the king,
to
be for
a
people to
Jehovah;
So
all the people went
to
the temple
of Baal and tore
it down .
They
smashed
the
altars and idols
to
pieces
and killed
Mattan the
priest of Baal in
front
of
the altars.
and
all the people enter
the house
of Baal ,
and break
it down ,
yea,
his
altars and his
images
they
have
broken,
and Mattan priest of Baal they
have
slain
before
the altars.
Moreover,
Jehoiada put
the oversight
of the house of the
LORD
into the hands
of the Levitical
priests ,
whom David had appointed
over the house of the
LORD
, to offer
burnt
offerings
to the LORD
as is
written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing
and song
, as
ordained
by David .
And
Jehoiada putteth
the offices
of the house of Jehovah
into the hand
of the priests the
Levites
whom David had apportioned
over the house of Jehovah
, to cause
to ascend
the burnt-offerings
of
Jehovah,
as written in the law of Moses, with joy,
and with
singing
, by the
hands
of
David ;
He stationed
gatekeepers at
the gates of the house of the
LORD
, so
that
nothing
unclean could
enter
for
any
reason
.
and
he stationeth
the
gatekeepers over
the gates of the house of Jehovah
, and
the
unclean in
anything
doth
not
go
in
.
He also
took
with
him
the commanders
of hundreds, the nobles
, the rulers of
the people, and all the people of the land, and they
brought
the king down
from the house of the
LORD
and entered
the
royal
palace
through the Upper
Gate .
They
seated
King Joash
on the royal
throne ,
And
he taketh
the heads
of the
hundreds, and
the honourable
ones
, and
the rulers among
the people, and all the people of the land, and bringeth
down
the king from the house of Jehovah,
and they
come
in
through the high
gate to
the
house
of
the
king ,
and
cause
the
king
to
sit
on the throne of
the
kingdom.
and all the people of the land rejoiced.
And the city was
quiet, because
Athaliah had
been
put to the sword.
And all the people of the land rejoice,
and the city hath
been
quiet, and
Athaliah they
have
put to death
by
the sword.
