nasb 2Chronicles:22:10-23:21
nasb@2Chronicles:22:10 @He stationed all the people, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:11 @Then they brought out the king's son and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, " Long live the king!"
nasb@2Chronicles:22:12 @When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came into the house of the LORD to the people.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:13 @She looked, and behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpeters were beside the king. And all the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets, the singers with their musical instruments leading the praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"
nasb@2Chronicles:22:14 @Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "Let her not be put to death in the house of the LORD."
nasb@2Chronicles:22:15 @So they seized her, and when she arrived at the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, they put her to death there.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:16 @Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they would be the LORD'S people.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:17 @And all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down, and they broke in pieces his altars and his images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:18 @Moreover, Jehoiada placed the offices of the house of the LORD under the authority of the Levitical priests, whom David had assigned over the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses-- with rejoicing and singing according to the order of David.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:19 @He stationed the gatekeepers of the house of the LORD, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:20 @He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the LORD, and came through the upper gate to the king's house. And they placed the king upon the royal throne.
nasb@2Chronicles:22:21 @So all of the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:1 @Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah from Beersheba.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:2 @Joash did what was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:3 @Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:4 @Now it came about after this that Joash decided to restore the house of the LORD.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:5 @He gathered the priests and Levites and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah and collect money from all Israel to repair the house of your God annually, and you shall do the matter quickly." But the Levites did not act quickly.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:6 @So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the LORD on the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?"
nasb@2Chronicles:23:7 @For the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and even used the holy things of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:8 @So the king commanded, and they made a chest and set it outside by the gate of the house of the LORD.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:9 @They made a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the LORD the levy fixed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:10 @All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought in their levies and dropped them into the chest until they had finished.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:11 @It came about whenever the chest was brought in to the king's officer by the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer would come, empty the chest, take it, and return it to its place. Thus they did daily and collected much money.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:12 @The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:13 @So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they restored the house of God according to its specifications and strengthened it.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:14 @When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and it was made into utensils for the house of the LORD, utensils for the service and the burnt offering, and pans and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:15 @Now when Jehoiada reached a ripe old age he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old at his death.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:16 @They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done well in Israel and to God and His house.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:17 @But after the death of Jehoiada the officials of Judah came and bowed down to the king, and the king listened to them.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:18 @They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols; so wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:19 @Yet He sent prophets to them to bring them back to the LORD; though they testified against them, they would not listen.
nasb@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people and said to them, "Thus God has said, ' Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has also forsaken you.'"
nasb@2Chronicles:23:21 @So they conspired against him and at the command of the king they stoned him to death in the court of the house of the LORD.
