2 Kings 11:2-16

2But JehoshebaH3089, the daughterH1323 of KingH4428 JoramH3141, sisterH269 of AhaziahH274, 1tookH3947 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.

42Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 of 3the CaritesH3746 and of the 4guardH7323, 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: 5one 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 6guardsH7323), 7shall 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. 8Then you shall surroundH5362H5439H5921 the kingH4428, eachH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whoever comesH935 withinH413 the ranksH7713 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191. And 8be with the kingH4428 when he goesH3318 out and when he comesH935 in.”

9So the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 9didH6213 according to allH3605 that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680. And eachH376 oneH376 of them tookH3947 his menH376 who were to comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, with those who were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676, and cameH935 to JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548. 1010The priestH3548 gaveH5414 to the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 the spearsH2595 and shieldsH7982 that had been KingH4428 David’sH1732, whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 11The 11guardsH7323 stoodH5975 eachH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 12sideH3802 of the houseH1004 to the leftH8042 13sideH3802 of the houseH1004, by the altarH4196 and by the houseH1004, aroundH5439 the kingH4428. 12Then he broughtH3318 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 out and 14putH5414 the crownH5145 on him and gave him 15the testimonyH5715; and they madeH4427 him kingH4427 and anointedH4886 him, and they clappedH5221 their handsH3709 and saidH559, “16Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!”

1317When AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the guardH7323 and of the peopleH5971, she cameH935 to the peopleH5971 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 14She lookedH7200 and beholdH2009, the kingH4428 was standingH5975 18by the pillarH5982, according to the customH4941, with the captainsH8269 and the 19trumpetersH2689 besideH413 the kingH4428; and 20allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056 and blewH8628 trumpetsH2689. Then AthaliahH6271 21toreH7167 her clothesH899 and criedH7121, “22TreasonH7195! TreasonH7195!” 15And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 who were appointedH6485 over the armyH2428 and saidH559 to them, “BringH3318 her out 23betweenH413H4480H1004 the ranksH7713, and whoever followsH935H310 her putH4191 to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.” For the priestH3548 saidH559, “Let her not be putH4191 to deathH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 16So they 24seizedH7760H3027 her, and when she arrivedH935 at the horses’H5483 entranceH3996 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, she was 25putH4191 to deathH4191 thereH8033.
