Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:010:035 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in
Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
12:010:036 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was
twenty and eight years.
12:011:001 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was
dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
12:011:002 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.
12:011:003 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years.
And Athaliah did reign over the land.
12:011:004 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 shewed
them the king's son.
12:011:005 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;
12:011:006 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.
12:011:007 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.
12:011:008 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.
12:011:009 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.
12:011:010 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king
David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the
LORD.
12:011:011 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.
12:011:012 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.
12:011:013 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the
people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
