V.1 And in the seventh 7637 year 8141 Jehoiada 3077 strengthened 2388-98 himself, and took 3947-4 the captains 8269 of hundreds, 3967 Azariah 5838 the son 1121 of Jeroham, 3395 and Ishmael 3458 the son 1121 of Jehohanan, 3076 and Azariah 5838 the son 1121 of Obed, 5744 and Maaseiah 4641 the son 1121 of Adaiah, 5718 and Elishaphat 478 the son 1121 of Zichri, 2147 into covenant 1285 with him.

23:2 And they went about 5437-4 in Judah, 3063 and gathered 6908-4 the Levites 3881 out of all the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 and the chief 7218 of the fathers 1 of Israel, 3478 and they came 935-4 to Jerusalem. 3389

23:3 And all the congregation 6951 made 3772-4 a covenant 1285 with the king 4428 in the house 1004 of God. 430 And he said 559-4 unto them, Behold, the king's 4428 son 1121 shall reign, 4427-4 as the LORD 3068 hath said 1696-14 of the sons 1121 of David. 1732

23:4 This [is] the thing 1697 that ye shall do; 6213-4 A third part 7992 of you entering 935-6 on the sabbath, 7676 of the priests 3548 and of the Levites, 3881 [shall be] porters 7778 of the doors; 5592

23:5 And a third part 7992 [shall be] at the king's 4428 house; 1004 and a third part 7992 at the gate 8179 of the foundation: 3247 and all the people 5971 [shall be] in the courts 2691 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

23:6 But let none come 935-4 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 save the priests, 3548 and they that minister 8334-18 of the Levites; 3881 they shall go in, 935-4 for they [are] holy: 6944 but all the people 5971 shall keep 8104-4 the watch 4931 of the LORD. 3068

23:7 And the Levites 3881 shall compass 5362-52 the king 4428 round about, 5439 every man 376 with his weapons 3627 in his hand; 3027 and whosoever [else] cometh 935-6 into the house, 1004 he shall be put to death: 4191-93 but be ye with the king 4428 when he cometh in, 935-2 and when he goeth out. 3318-2

23:8 So the Levites 3881 and all Judah 3063 did 6213-4 according to all things that Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 had commanded, 6680-14 and took 3947-4 every man 376 his men 582 that were to come in 935-6 on the sabbath, 7676 with them that were to go 3318-6 [out] on the sabbath: 7676 for Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 dismissed 6362-1 not the courses. 4256

23:9 Moreover Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 delivered 5414-4 to the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 spears, 2595 and bucklers, 4043 and shields, 7982 that [had been] king 4428 David's, 1732 which [were] in the house 1004 of God. 430

23:10 And he set 5975-55 all the people, 5971 every man 376 having his weapon 7973 in his hand, 3027 from the right 3233 side 3802 of the temple 1004 to the left 8042 side 3802 of the temple, 1004 along by the altar 4196 and the temple, 1004 by the king 4428 round about. 5439

23:11 Then they brought out 3318-55 the king's 4428 son, 1121 and put 5414-4 upon him the crown, 5145 and [gave him] the testimony, 5715 and made him king. 4427-55 And Jehoiada 3077 and his sons 1121 anointed 4886-4 him, and said, 559-4 God save 2421-4 the king. 4428

23:12 Now when Athaliah 6271 heard 8085-4 the noise 6963 of the people 5971 running 7323-5 and praising 1984-18 the king, 4428 she came 935-4 to the people 5971 into the house 1004 of the LORD: 3068

23:13 And she looked, 7200-4 and, behold, the king 4428 stood 5975-6 at his pillar 5982 at the entering in, 3996 and the princes 8269 and the trumpets 2689 by the king: 4428 and all the people 5971 of the land 776 rejoiced, 8056 and sounded 8628-6 with trumpets, 2689 also the singers 7891-35 with instruments 3627 of musick, 7892 and such as taught 3045-56 to sing praise. 1984-15 Then Athaliah 6271 rent 7167-4 her clothes, 899 and said, 559-4 Treason, 7195 Treason. 7195

23:14 Then Jehoiada 3077 the priest 3548 brought out 3318-55 the captains 8269 of hundreds 3967 that were set over 6485-7 the host, 2428 and said 559-4 unto them, Have her forth 3318- 54 of 1004 the ranges: 7713 and whoso followeth 935-6 310 her, let him be slain 4191-93 with the sword. 2719 For the priest 3548 said, 559-1 Slay 4191-55 her not in the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

23:15 So they laid 7760-4 hands 3027 on her; and when she was come 935-4 to the entering 3996 of the horse 5483 gate 8179 by the king's 4428 house, 1004 they slew 4191-55 her there.

23:16 And Jehoiada 3077 made 3772-4 a covenant 1285 between him, and between all the people, 5971 and between the king, 4428 that they should be the LORD'S 3068 people. 5971

23:17 Then all the people 5971 went 935-4 to the house 1004 of Baal, 1168 and brake it down, 5422-4 and brake his altars 4196 and his images 6754 in pieces, 7665-14 and slew 2026-1 Mattan 4977 the priest 3548 of Baal 1168 before 6440 the altars. 4196

23:18 Also Jehoiada 3077 appointed 7760-4 the offices 6486 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 by the hand 3027 of the priests 3548 the Levites, 3881 whom David 1732 had distributed 2505-1 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 to offer 5927-53 the burnt offerings 5930 of the LORD, 3068 as [it is] written 3789-7 in the law 8451 of Moses, 4872 with rejoicing 8057 and with singing, 7892 [as it was ordained] by 3027 David. 1732

23:19 And he set 5975-55 the porters 7778 at the gates 8179 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 that none [which was] unclean 2931 in any thing 1697 should enter in. 935-4

23:20 And he took 3947-4 the captains 8269 of hundreds, 3967 and the nobles, 117 and the governors 4910-6 of the people, 5971 and all the people 5971 of the land, 776 and brought down 3381-55 the king 4428 from the house 1004 of the LORD: 3068 and they came 935-4 through 8432 the high 5945 gate 8179 into the king's 4428 house, 1004 and set 3427-55 the king 4428 upon the throne 3678 of the kingdom. 4467
