2 Kings 11:1-7

1NowH3588 when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that herH3605 sonH1121 was deadH4191, sheH3588 aroseH6965 and destroyedH6 allH3605 the seedH2233 royalH4467.

2But JehoshebaH3089, 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, evenH3808 him and his nurseH3243, and putH4191 them in the bedchamber; and they hidH5641 him from AthaliahH6271, soH3947 that he was notH3808 slain.

3And he was with herH5921 hidH2244 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 sixH8337 yearsH8141: and AthaliahH6271 reignedH4427 over the landH776.

4And in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 sentH7971 and fetched the captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, of the CaritesH3746 and of the guardH7323, and broughtH935 them to him intoH413 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and he madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them, and tookH3947 an oathH7650 of them in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and shewed them the king’sH4428 sonH1121.

5And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, This is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213: a thirdH7992 partH4480 of youH834, 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 SurH5495; and a thirdH7992 partH7992 at the gateH8179 behindH310 the guardH8104: soH853 shall ye keepH8104 the watchH8104 of the houseH1004, and be a barrier.

7And the twoH8147 companies of youH3605, evenH853 allH3605 that goH3318 forthH3318 on the sabbathH7676, shall keepH8104 the watchH8104 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 aboutH413 the kingH4428.
