So she rose and caused all the royal seed to perish. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king’s sons who were being put to death, <i>and put</i> him and his nurse in the bedroom. So they hid him from Athaliah, and he was not put to death. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So he was hidden away with her in the house of Yahweh six years, while Athaliah was reigning over the land. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent for and took the commanders of hundreds of the Carites and of the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>guard, and brought them to him in the house of Yahweh. Then he cut a covenant with them and had them swear in the house of Yahweh, and showed them the king’s son. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And he commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: one-third of you, who come in on the sabbath and keep watch over the king’s house <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>(one-third also <i>shall be</i> at the gate Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>guards), <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>shall keep watch over the house for defense. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And two parts of you, <i>even</i> all who go out on the sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house of Yahweh for the king. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And you shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within the ranks shall be put to death. And be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.” <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>So the commanders of hundreds 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, and came to Jehoiada the priest. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and small shields that <i>had been</i> King David’s, which <i>were</i> in the house of Yahweh. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>guards stood each with his weapons in his hand, from the right <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>side of the house to the left <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then he brought the king’s son out and put the crown on him and <i>gave him</i> the testimony; and they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, “<i>Long</i> live the king!” <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then Athaliah heard the noise of the guard <i>and of</i> the people, and she came to the people in the house of Yahweh. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And she looked, and behold, the king was standing by the pillar, according to the custom, with the commanders and the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>trumpeters beside the king; and all the people of the land were glad and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And Jehoiada the priest commanded the commanders of hundreds who were appointed over the military force and said to them, “Bring her out <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>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 Yahweh.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>So they <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>laid hands on her, and she arrived at the horses’ entrance of the king’s house and was put to death there. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then Jehoiada cut a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they would be the people of Yahweh, also between the king and the people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>And all the people of the land came to the house of Baal and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>overseers over the house of Yahweh. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And he took the commanders of hundreds and the Carites and the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of Yahweh, and came by the way of the gate of the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>guards to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_kings/11-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>So all the people of the land were glad, and the city was quiet.
