Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:023:005 And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third
part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall
be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
14:023:006 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the
priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go
in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch
of the LORD.
14:023:007 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man
with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into
the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king
when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
14:023:008 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that
Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men
that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go
out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the
courses.
14:023:009 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of
hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king
David's, which were in the house of God.
14:023:010 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his
hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of
the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king
round about.
14:023:011 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the
crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And
Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the
king.
14:023:012 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and
praising the king, she came to the people into the house of
the LORD:
14:023:013 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at
the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king:
and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with
trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and
such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes,
and said, Treason, Treason.
14:023:014 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds
that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her
forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain
with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house
of the LORD.
14:023:015 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the
entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her
there.
14:023:016 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the
people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's
people.
