1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring. 2 Kings 11:1WEB
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. 2 Kings 11:2WEB
3 He was with her hidden in YHWH’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land. 2 Kings 11:3WEB
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into YHWH’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in YHWH’s house, and showed them the king’s son. 2 Kings 11:4WEB
5 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house; 2 Kings 11:5WEB
6 a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier. 2 Kings 11:6WEB
7 The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of YHWH’s house around the king. 2 Kings 11:7WEB
8 You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.” 2 Kings 11:8WEB
9 The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 2 Kings 11:9WEB
10 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in YHWH’s house. 2 Kings 11:10WEB
11 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king. 2 Kings 11:11WEB
12 Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!” 2 Kings 11:12WEB
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into YHWH’s house; 2 Kings 11:13WEB
14 and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!” 2 Kings 11:14WEB
15 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in YHWH’s house.” 2 Kings 11:15WEB
16 So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there. 2 Kings 11:16WEB
17 Jehoiada made a covenant between YHWH and the king and the people, that they should be YHWH’s people; also between the king and the people. 2 Kings 11:17WEB
18 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over YHWH’s house. 2 Kings 11:18WEB
19 He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from YHWH’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings. 2 Kings 11:19WEB
20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house. 2 Kings 11:20WEB
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign. 2 Kings 11:21WEB
