11:1 And when Athaliah 6271 the mother 517 of Ahaziah 274 saw 7200 8804 that her son 1121 was dead 4191 8804, she arose 6965 8799 and destroyed 6 8762 all the seed 2233 royal 4467.(seed…: Heb. seed of the kingdom)

11:2 But Jehosheba 3089, the daughter 1323 of king 4428 Joram 3141, sister 269 of Ahaziah 274, took 3947 8799 Joash 3101 the son 1121 of Ahaziah 274, and stole 1589 8799 him from among 8432 the king's 4428 sons 1121 [which were] slain 4191 8716; and they hid 5641 8686 him, [even] him and his nurse 3243 8688, in the bedchamber 2315 4296 from 6440 Athaliah 6271, so that he was not slain 4191 8717.

11:3 And he was with her hid 2244 8693 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 six 8337 years 8141. And Athaliah 6271 did reign 4427 8802 over the land 776.

11:4 And the seventh 7637 year 8141 Jehoiada 3077 sent 7971 8804 and fetched 3947 8799 the rulers 8269 over hundreds 3967, with the captains 3746 and the guard 7323 8801, and brought 935 8686 them to him into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and made 3772 8799 a covenant 1285 with them, and took an oath 7650 8686 of them in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and shewed 7200 8686 them the king's 4428 son 1121.

11:5 And he commanded 6680 8762 them, saying 559 8800, This [is] the thing 1697 that ye shall do 6213 8799; A third part 7992 of you that enter in 935 8802 on the sabbath 7676 shall even be keepers 8104 8802 of the watch 4931 of the king's 4428 house 1004;

11:6 And a third part 7992 [shall be] at the gate 8179 of Sur 5495; and a third part 7992 at the gate 8179 behind 310 the guard 7323 8801: so shall ye keep 8104 8804 the watch 4931 of the house 1004, that it be not broken down 4535.(that…: or, from breaking up)

11:7 And two 8147 parts 3027 of all you that go forth 3318 8802 on the sabbath 7676, even they shall keep 8104 8804 the watch 4931 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 about 413 the king 4428.(parts: or, companies: Heb. hands)

11:8 And ye shall compass 5362 8689 the king 4428 round about 5439, every man 376 with his weapons 3627 in his hand 3027: and he that cometh 935 8802 within the ranges 7713, let him be slain 4191 8714: and be ye with the king 4428 as he goeth out 3318 8800 and as he cometh in 935 8800.

11:9 And the captains 8269 over the hundreds 3967 did 6213 8799 according to all [things] that Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 commanded 6680 8765: and they took 3947 8799 every man 376 his men 582 that were to come in 935 8802 on the sabbath 7676, with them that should go out 3318 8802 on the sabbath 7676, and came 935 8799 to Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548.

11:10 And to the captains 8269 over hundreds 3967 did the priest 3548 give 5414 8799 king 4428 David's 1732 spears 2595 and shields 7982, that [were] in the temple 1004 of the LORD 3068.

11:11 And the guard 7323 8801 stood 5975 8799, every man 376 with his weapons 3627 in his hand 3027, round about 5439 the king 4428, from the right 3233 corner 3802 of the temple 1004 to the left 8042 corner 3802 of the temple 1004, [along] by the altar 4196 and the temple 1004.(corner: Heb. shoulder)

11:12 And he brought forth 3318 8686 the king's 4428 son 1121, and put 5414 8799 the crown 5145 upon him, and [gave him] the testimony 5715; and they made him king 4427 8686, and anointed 4886 8799 him; and they clapped 5221 8686 their hands 3709, and said 559 8799, God save 2421 8799 the king 4428.(God…: Heb. Let the king live)

11:13 And when Athaliah 6271 heard 8085 8799 the noise 6963 of the guard 7323 8801 [and] of the people 5971, she came 935 8799 to the people 5971 into the temple 1004 of the LORD 3068.

11:14 And when she looked 7200 8799, behold, the king 4428 stood 5975 8802 by a pillar 5982, as the manner 4941 [was], and the princes 8269 and the trumpeters 2689 by the king 4428, and all the people 5971 of the land 776 rejoiced 8056, and blew 8628 8802 with trumpets 2689: and Athaliah 6271 rent 7167 8799 her clothes 899, and cried 7121 8799, Treason 7195, Treason 7195.

11:15 But Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 commanded 6680 8762 the captains 8269 of the hundreds 3967, the officers 6485 8803 of the host 2428, and said 559 8799 unto them, Have her forth 3318 8685 without 1004 the ranges 7713: and him that followeth 935 8802 310 her kill 4191 8687 with the sword 2719. For the priest 3548 had said 559 8804, Let her not be slain 4191 8714 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

11:16 And they laid 7760 8799 hands 3027 on her; and she went 935 8799 by the way 1870 by the which the horses 5483 came 3996 into the king's 4428 house 1004: and there was she slain 4191 8714.

11:17 And Jehoiada 3077 made 3772 8799 a covenant 1285 between the LORD 3068 and the king 4428 and the people 5971, that they should be the LORD'S 3068 people 5971; between the king 4428 also and the people 5971.

11:18 And all the people 5971 of the land 776 went 935 8799 into the house 1004 of Baal 1168, and brake it down 5422 8799; his altars 4196 and his images 6754 brake they in pieces 7665 8765 thoroughly 3190 8687, and slew 2026 8804 Mattan 4977 the priest 3548 of Baal 1168 before 6440 the altars 4196. And the priest 3548 appointed 7760 8799 officers 6485 8803 8676 6486 over the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.(officers: Heb. offices)

11:19 And he took 3947 8799 the rulers 8269 over hundreds 3967, and the captains 3746, and the guard 7323 8801, and all the people 5971 of the land 776; and they brought down 3381 8686 the king 4428 from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and came 935 8799 by the way 1870 of the gate 8179 of the guard 7323 8801 to the king's 4428 house 1004. And he sat 3427 8799 on the throne 3678 of the kings 4428.

11:20 And all the people 5971 of the land 776 rejoiced 8055 8799, and the city 5892 was in quiet 8252 8804: and they slew 4191 8689 Athaliah 6271 with the sword 2719 [beside] the king's 4428 house 1004.

11:21 Seven 7651 years 8141 old 1121 [was] Jehoash 3060 when he began to reign 4427 8800.
