*
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead ,
she arose and destroyed all the seed royal .
*
But Jehosheba ,
the daughter of king Joram ,
sister of Ahaziah ,
took Joash the son of Ahaziah ,
and stole him from among the kings sons which were slain ;
and they hid him ,
even him and his nurse ,
in the bedchamber cheder #
from Athaliah ,
so that he was not slain .
*
And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years .
And Athaliah did reign over the land .
*
And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds me #
ah #,
with the captains and the guard ,
and brought them to him into the house of the LORD ,
and made a covenant with them ,
and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD ,
and shewed them the kings son .
*
And he commanded them ,
saying ,
This is the thing that ye shall do ;
A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the kings house ;
*
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur ;
and a third part at the gate behind the guard :
so shall ye keep the watch of the house ,
that it be not broken down .
*
And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath ,
even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king .
*
And ye shall compass the king round about ,
every man with his weapons in his hand :
and he that cometh within the ranges ,
let him be slain :
and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in .
*
And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded :
and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath ,
with them that should go out on the sabbath ,
and came to Jehoiada the priest .
*
And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king Davids spears and shields ,
that were in the temple of the LORD .
*
And the guard stood ,
every man with his weapons in his hand ,
round about the king ,
from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple ,
along by the altar and the temple .
*
And he brought forth the kings son ,
and put the crown upon him ,
and gave him the testimony ;
and they made him king ,
and anointed him ;
and they clapped their hands ,
and said ,
God save the king .
*
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people ,
she came to the people into the temple of the LORD .
*
And when she looked ,
behold ,
the king stood by a pillar ,
as the manner was ,
and the princes and the trumpeters by the king ,
and all the people of the land rejoiced ,
and blew with trumpets :
and Athaliah rent her clothes ,
and cried ,
Treason ,
Treason .
*
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds me #
ah #,
the officers of the host ,
and said unto them ,
Have her forth without the ranges :
and him that followeth her kill with the sword .
For the priest had said ,
Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD .
*
And they laid hands on her ;
and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the kings house :
and there was she slain .
*
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people ,
that they should be the LORDS people ;
between the king also and the people .
*
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal Ba #
al #,
and brake it down ;
his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly ,
and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars .
And the priest appointed officers (
8676 )
over the house of the LORD .
*
And he took the rulers over hundreds me #
ah #,
and the captains ,
and the guard ,
and all the people of the land ;
and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD ,
and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the kings house .
And he sat on the throne of the kings .
*
And all the people of the land rejoiced ,
and the city was in quiet :
and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the kings house .
*
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign .
*
In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign ;
and forty #
arba #
iym #
years reigned he in Jerusalem .
And his mothers name was Zibiah of Beersheba B @#
er .
*
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him .
*
But the high places were not taken away :
the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places .
*
And Jehoash said to the priests ,
All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD ,
even the money of every one that passeth the account ,
the money that every man is set at ,
and all the money that cometh into any mans heart to bring into the house of the LORD ,
*
Let the priests take it to them ,
every man of his acquaintance :
and let them repair the breaches of the house ,
wheresoever any breach shall be found .
*
But it was so ,
that in the three shalowsh #
and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house .
*
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest ,
and the other priests ,
and said unto them ,
Why repair ye not the breaches of the house ?
now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance ,
but delivr it for the breaches of the house .
*
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people ,
neither to repair the breaches of the house .
*
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest ,
and bored a hole in the lid of it ,
and set it beside the altar ,
on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD :
and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD .
*
And it was so ,
when they saw that there was much money in the chest ,
that the kings scribe and the high priest came up ,
and they put up in bags ,
and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD .
*
And they gave the money ,
being told ,
into the hands of them that did the work m @
la #
kah #,
that had the oversight (
8675 )
of the house of the LORD :
and they laid it out to the carpenters charash #
and builders ,
that wrought upon the house of the LORD ,
*
And to masons ,
and hewers of stone ,
and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD ,
and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it .
*
Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver ,
snuffers ,
basons ,
trumpets ,
any vessels of gold ,
or vessels of silver ,
of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD :
*
But they gave that to the workmen #
H6213 ,
and repaired therewith the house of the LORD .
*
Moreover they reckoned not with the men ,
into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen m @
la #
kah #:
for they dealt faithfully .
*
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD :
it was the priests .
*
Then Hazael king of Syria went up ,
and fought against Gath ,
and took it :
and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem .
*
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat ,
and Jehoram ,
and Ahaziah ,
his fathers ,
kings of Judah ,
had dedicated ,
and his own hallowed things ,
and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD ,
and in the kings house ,
and sent it to Hazael king of Syria :
and he went away from Jerusalem .
*
And the rest of the acts of Joash Yow #
ash #,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar #
of the kings of Judah ?
*
And his servants arose ,
and made a conspiracy ,
and slew Joash in the house of Millo Beyth ,
which goeth down to Silla .
*
For Jozachar the son of Shimeath Shim #
ath #,
and Jehozabad the son of Shomer ,
his servants ,
smote him ,
and he died ;
and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David :
and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead .
*
In the three shalowsh #
and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria ,
and reigned seventeen sheba #
years .
