Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:011:014 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.
12:011:015 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.
12:011:016 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.
12:011:017 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.
12:011:018 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.
12:011:019 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.
12:011:020 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.
12:011:021 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
12:012:001 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty
years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Zibiah of Beersheba.
12:012:002 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD
all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
12:012:003 But the high places were not taken away: the people still
sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
12:012:004 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 man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
12:012:005 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.
12:012:006 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king
Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the
house.
