16And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between him, and between all the peopleH5971, and between the kingH4428, that they should be Yhwh'sH3068 peopleH5971. 17Then all the peopleH5971 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and brake it downH5422, and brakeH7665 his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 in piecesH7665, and slewH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. 18Also JehoiadaH3077 appointedH7760 the officesH6486 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 by the handH3027 of the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, whom DavidH1732 had distributedH2505 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, to offerH5927 the burnt offeringsH5930 of YhwhH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, with rejoicingH8057 and with singingH7892, as it was ordained byH3027 DavidH1732.1 19And he setH5975 the portersH7778 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, that none which was uncleanH2931 in any thingH1697 should enter inH935. 20And he tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, and the noblesH117, and the governorsH4910 of the peopleH5971, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and brought downH3381 the kingH4428 from the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068: and they cameH935 throughH8432 the highH5945 gateH8179 into the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and setH3427 the kingH4428 upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4467. 21And all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055: and the cityH5892 was quietH8252, after that they had slainH4191 AthaliahH6271 with the swordH2719.
