2 Kings 11:1-7

11When AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was deadH4191, she roseH6965 and destroyedH6 allH3605 the royalH4467 2offspringH2233. 2But JehoshebaH3089, the daughterH1323 of KingH4428 JoramH3141, sisterH269 of AhaziahH274, 3tookH3947 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. 3So he was hiddenH2244 with her in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 sixH8337 yearsH8141, while AthaliahH6271 was reigningH4427 overH5921 the landH776.

44Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 of 5the CaritesH3746 and of the 6guardH7323, 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. 5He commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, “ThisH2088 is the thingH1697 that you shall doH6213: 7one 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 8guardsH7323), 9shall keepH8104 watchH4931 over the houseH1004 for defenseH4535. 7TwoH8147 partsH3027 of you, even allH3605 who goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676, shall also keepH8104 watchH4931 over the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 for the kingH4428.
