12:010:031 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law
of the lord God of
Israel
with all his heart: for he departed not from the
sins
of
Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
12:010:032 In those days the lord began to cut
Israel short: and Hazael
smote
them in all the coasts of Israel;
12:010:033 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead,
the Gadites, and
the
Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is
by
the
river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
12:010:034 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all
that he did, and all
his
might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles
of
the kings of Israel?
12:010:035 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and
they buried him in
Samaria.
And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
12:010:036 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel
in Samaria was
twenty
and eight years.
12:011:001 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah
saw that her son was
dead,
she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
12:011:002 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram,
sister of Ahaziah,
took
Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among
the
king’s
sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and
his
nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he
was not
slain.
12:011:003 And he was with her hid in the house of
the lord six years.
And
Athaliah did reign over the land.
12:011:004 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and
fetched the rulers over
hundreds,
with the captains and the guard, and brought them to
him
into the house of the lord, and made a covenant
with them,
and
took an oath of them in the house of the lord,
and shewed
them
the king’s son.
12:011:005 And he commanded them, saying, This is
the thing that ye shall
do;
A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall
even
be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
12:011:006 And a third part shall be at the gate of
Sur; and a third part
at
the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the
watch of
the
house, that it be not broken down.
12:011:007 And two parts of all you that go forth
on the sabbath, even
they
shall keep the watch of the house of the lord
about the
king.
12:011:008 And ye shall compass the king round about,
every man with his
weapons
in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges,
let
him
be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth
out and as
he
cometh in.
