12_2KI_11_01 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead , she arose And destroyed all the seed royal .
12_2KI_11_02 but Jehosheba , the daughter of king Joram , sister of Ahaziah , took Joash the son of Ahaziah , And stole him from among the king's sons [ which were ] slain ; And they hid him , [ even ] him And his nurse , in the bedchamber from Athaliah , So that he was not slain .
12_2KI_11_03 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years . And Athaliah did reign over the land .
12_2KI_11_04 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent And fetched the rulers over hundreds , 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 showed them the king's son .
12_2KI_11_05 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 king's house ;
12_2KI_11_06 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 .
12_2KI_11_07 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 .
12_2KI_11_08 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 .
12_2KI_11_09 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 .
12_2KI_11_10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears And shields , that [ were ] in the temple of the LORD .
12_2KI_11_11 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 .
12_2KI_11_12 And he brought forth the king's 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 .
12_2KI_11_13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [ And ] of the people , she came to the people into the temple of the LORD .
12_2KI_11_14 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 .
12_2KI_11_15 but Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds , 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 .
12_2KI_11_16 And they laid hands on her ; And she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house : And there was she slain .
12_2KI_11_17 And Jehoiada made A covenant between the LORD And the king And the people , that they should be the LORD's people ; between the king also And the people .
12_2KI_11_18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal , 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 over the house of the LORD .
12_2KI_11_19 And he took the rulers over hundreds , 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 king's house . And he sat on the throne of the kings .
12_2KI_11_20 And all the people of the land rejoiced , And the city was in quiet : And they slew Athaliah with the sword [ beside ] the king's house .
12_2KI_11_21 seven years old [ was ] Jehoash when he began to reign .
