2 Kings 11:4-17

41Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 of 2the CaritesH3746 and of the 3guardH7323, 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: 4one 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 5guardsH7323), 6shall 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 7be with the kingH4428 when he goesH3318 out and when he comesH935 in.”

9So the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 8didH6213 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. 109The 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 10guardsH7323 stoodH5975 eachH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 11sideH3802 of the houseH1004 to the leftH8042 12sideH3802 of the houseH1004, by the altarH4196 and by the houseH1004, aroundH5439 the kingH4428. 12Then he broughtH3318 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 out and 13putH5414 the crownH5145 on him and gave him 14the testimonyH5715; and they madeH4427 him kingH4427 and anointedH4886 him, and they clappedH5221 their handsH3709 and saidH559, “15Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!”

1316When 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 17by the pillarH5982, according to the customH4941, with the captainsH8269 and the 18trumpetersH2689 besideH413 the kingH4428; and 19allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056 and blewH8628 trumpetsH2689. Then AthaliahH6271 20toreH7167 her clothesH899 and criedH7121, “21TreasonH7195! TreasonH7195!” 15And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 who were appointedH6485 over the armyH2428 and saidH559 to them, “BringH3318 her out 22betweenH413H4480H1004 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 23seizedH7760H3027 her, and when she arrivedH935 at the horses’H5483 entranceH3996 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, she was 24putH4191 to deathH4191 thereH8033.

17Then 25JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 betweenH996 the LordH3068 and the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971, that they would be the Lord’sH3068 peopleH5971, also 26betweenH996 the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971.
