2 Kings 11

1 Jehoash, being saved by Jehosheba his aunt from Athaliah's massacre of the seed royal, is hid six years in the house of God. 4 Jehoiada, giving order to the captains, in the seventh year anointeth him king. 13 Athaliah is slain. 17 Jehoiada restoreth the worship of God.

 11:1 When Athaliah 6271 the mother 517 of Ahaziah 274 saw 7200 that her son 1121 was dead 4191, she rose 6965 and destroyed 6 all 3605 the royal 4467 offspring 2233.

 11:2 But Jehosheba 3089, the daughter 1323 of King 4428 Joram 3141, sister 269 of Ahaziah 274, took 3947 Joash 3060 the son 1121 of Ahaziah 274 and stole 1589 him from among 8432 the king’s 4428 sons 1121 who were being put 4191 to death 4191, and placed 5641 him and his nurse 3243 in the bedroom 2315 4296. So they hid 5641 him from Athaliah 6271, and he was not put 4191 to death 4191.

 11:3 So he was hidden 2244 with her in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 six 8337a years 8141, while Athaliah 6271 was reigning 4427a over 5921 the land 776.

 11:4 ¶ Now in the seventh 7637 year 8141 Jehoiada 3077 sent 7971 and brought 3947 the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 of the Carites 3746 and of the guard 7323, and brought 935 them to him in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068. Then he made 3772 a covenant 1285 with them and put 7650 them under 7650 oath 7650 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and showed 7200 them the king’s 4428 son 1121.

 11:5 He commanded 6680 them, saying 559, “This 2088 is the thing 1697 that you shall do 6213a: one third 7992 of you, who come 935 in on the sabbath 7676 and keep 8104 watch 4931 over the king’s 4428 house 1004

 11:6 (one third 7992 also [shall be] at the gate 8179 Sur 5495, and one third 7992 at the gate 8179 behind 310 the guards 7323), shall keep 8104 watch 4931 over the house 1004 for defense 4535.

 11:7 “Two 8147 parts 3027 of you, [even] all 3605 who go 3318 out on the sabbath 7676, shall also keep 8104 watch 4931 over the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 for the king 4428.

 11:8 “Then you shall surround 5362b 5439 5921 the king 4428, each 376 with his weapons 3627 in his hand 3027; and whoever comes 935 within 413 the ranks 7713 shall be put 4191 to death 4191. And be with the king 4428 when he goes 3318 out and when he comes 935 in.”

 11:9 ¶ So the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 did 6213a according to all 3605 that Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 commanded 6680. And each 376 one 376 of them took 3947 his men 376 who were to come 935 in on the sabbath 7676, with those who were to go 3318 out on the sabbath 7676, and came 935 to Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548.

 11:10 The priest 3548 gave 5414 to the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 the spears 2595 and shields 7982 that [had been] King 4428 David’s 1732, which 834 [were] in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

 11:11 The guards 7323 stood 5975 each 376 with his weapons 3627 in his hand 3027, from the right 3233 side 3802 of the house 1004 to the left 8042 side 3802 of the house 1004, by the altar 4196 and by the house 1004, around 5439 the king 4428.

 11:12 Then he brought 3318 the king’s 4428 son 1121 out and put 5414 the crown 5145 on him and [gave him] the testimony 5715; and they made 4427a him king 4427a and anointed 4886 him, and they clapped 5221 their hands 3709 and said 559, “[Long] live 2421a the king 4428!”

 11:13 ¶ When Athaliah 6271 heard 8085 the noise 6963 of the guard 7323 [and of] the people 5971a, she came 935 to the people 5971a in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

 11:14 She looked 7200 and behold 2009, the king 4428 was standing 5975 by the pillar 5982, according to the custom 4941, with the captains 8269 and the trumpeters 2689 beside 413 the king 4428; and all 3605 the people 5971a of the land 776 rejoiced 8056 and blew 8628 trumpets 2689. Then Athaliah 6271 tore 7167 her clothes 899b and cried 7121, “Treason 7195! Treason 7195!”

 11:15 And Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 commanded 6680 the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 who were appointed 6485 over the army 2428 and said 559 to them, “Bring 3318 her out between 413 4480 1004 the ranks 7713, and whoever follows 935 310 her put 4191 to death 4191 with the sword 2719.” For the priest 3548 said 559, “Let her not be put 4191 to death 4191 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.”

 11:16 So they seized 7760 3027 her, and when she arrived 935 at the horses’ 5483b entrance 3996 of the king’s 4428 house 1004, she was put 4191 to death 4191 there 8033.

 11:17 ¶ Then Jehoiada 3077 made 3772 a covenant 1285 between 996 the LORD 3068 and the king 4428 and the people 5971a, that they would be the LORD’S 3068 people 5971a, also between 996 the king 4428 and the people 5971a.

 11:18 All 3605 the people 5971a of the land 776 went 935 to the house 1004 of Baal 1168a, and tore 5422 it down 5422; his altars 4196 and his images 6754 they broke 7665 in pieces 7665 thoroughly 3190, and killed 2026 Mattan 4977 the priest 3548 of Baal 1168a before 6440 the altars 4196. And the priest 3548 appointed 7760 officers 6486 over 5921 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

 11:19 He took 3947 the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 and the Carites 3746 and the guards 7323 and all 3605 the people 5971a of the land 776; and they brought 3381 the king 4428 down 3381 from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and came 935 by the way 1870 of the gate 8179 of the guards 7323 to the king’s 4428 house 1004. And he sat 3427 on the throne 3678 of the kings 4428.

 11:20 So all 3605 the people 5971a of the land 776 rejoiced 8055 and the city 5892b was quiet 8252. For they had put 4191 Athaliah 6271 to death 4191 with the sword 2719 at the king’s 4428 house 1004.

 11:21 ¶ Jehoash 3060 was seven 7651 years 8141 old 1121 when he became 4427a king 4427a.
