2 Chronicles 23
23:1And in the seventh year Jehoiada determined, and the commanders of hundreds took Azariah son of Jehoram, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, with him in covenant.
23:2And they encircled Judah, and gathered the Levites from out of all the cities of Judah, and the rulers of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
23:3And all the assembly ordained a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he said to them, Behold, the son of the king, let him reign! as the lord spoke concerning the house of David.
23:4And now this is the word what you shall do. The third of you of the priests and of the Levites enter on the Sabbath, and go unto the gates of the entrances;
23:5and the third unto the house of the king; and the third unto the gate the one in the middle! And all the people will be in the courtyards of the house of the lord.
23:6And let no one enter into the house of the lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the ones officiating to the Levites! They shall enter, for they are holy. And all the people let guard the watches of the lord!
23:7And the Levites shall encircle the king round about, each man and his weapon in his hand, and the one entering into the house shall die. And they will be with the king for his entering and exiting.
23:8And the Levites and all Judah did according to all as much as Jehoiada the priest gave charge. And each man took his men entering on the Sabbath, unto exiting of the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not rest up the daily rotations.
23:9And Jehoiada the priest gave the commanders of hundreds orders, and the swords, and the large shields, and the small shields which was of king David in the house of God.
23:10And he stationed all the people, each with his weapons, from the protrusion of the house at the right, unto the protrusion of the house at the left by the altar, and at the house by the king round about.
23:11And he led out the son of the king, and put upon him the crown, and the testimony, and they made him to reign. And Jehoiada the priest and his sons anointed him, and they said, Let the king live!
23:12And Athaliah heard the sound of the people, of the ones running, and acknowledging, and praising the king. And she entered to the king, into the house of the lord.
23:13And she beheld, and behold, the king stood at his station, and at the entrance were the rulers and the trumpets. And the rulers were around the king. And all the people of the land were being glad and trumpeting with the trumpets, and the ones singing with the instruments of the odes, the singers and ones singing praise. And Athaliah tore her robe, and yelled and said, Conspiracy, conspiracy.
23:14And came forth Jehoiada the priest, and he gave charge to the commanders of hundreds, and to the chiefs of the force. And said to them, Lead her outside of the house, and go forth after her, and let her die by the sword! For the priest said, Let her not die in the house of the lord!
23:15And they placed hands upon her, and she went through the gate of the horsemen of the house of the king, and they put her to death there.
23:16And Jehoiada ordained a covenant between he and between the people, and between the king, to be for a people to the lord.
23:17And all the people of the land entered into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and his altars; and his images they ground fine; and they put to death Mattan the priest of Baal before his altars.
23:18And Jehoiada the priest committed the works of the house of the lord in the hand of the priests and Levites. And he reestablished the daily rotations of the priests and the Levites, as David separated for the house of the lord, to offer to the lord whole burnt-offerings, as is written in the law of Moses, with gladness and with odes by the hand of David.
23:19And the gatekeepers stood at the gates of the house of the lord, that there shall not enter in anything unclean.
23:20And he took the patriarchs, and the mighty ones, and the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into the the house of the lord; and he entered through the inner gate into the house of the king. And they sat the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
23:21And all the people of the land were glad, and the city was still. And Athaliah they put to death by the sword.
