2 Kings 11:1-7
1Now when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was deadH4191, she aroseH6965 and destroyedH6 all the seedH2233 royal. 2But Jehosheba, the daughterH1323 of kingH4428 JoramH3141, sisterH269 of AhaziahH274, tookH3947 JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, and stoleH1589 him awayH3947 from among the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 that were slain, even him and his nurse, and putH4191 them in the bedchamber; and they hidH5641 him from AthaliahH6271, so that he was not slain; 3And he wasH1961 with her hidH2244 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah sixH8337 yearsH8141. And AthaliahH6271 reignedH4427 over the landH776.
4And in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 sentH7971 and fetched the captains over hundredsH3967 of the Carites and of the guard, and broughtH935 them to him into the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them, and tookH3947 an oathH7650 of them in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and showedH7200 them the king’sH4428 sonH1121. 5And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, This is the thingH1697 that ye shall do: a thirdH7992 part of you, that comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, shall be keepersH8104 of the watchH8104 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004; 6and a thirdH7992 partH7992 shall be at the gateH8179 Sur; and a thirdH7992 partH7992 at the gateH8179 behind the guardH8104: so shall ye keepH8104 the watchH8104 of the houseH1004, and be a barrier. 7And the twoH8147 companies of you, even all that goH3318 forthH3318 on the sabbathH7676, shall keepH8104 the watchH8104 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah about the kingH4428.
