12:011:009 And the captains over the hundreds did
according to all things
that
Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every
man
his
men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them
that
should
go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
12:011:010 And to the captains over hundreds did the
priest give king
David’s
spears and shields, that were in the temple of the
lord.
12:011:011 And the guard stood, every man with his
weapons in his hand,
round
about the king, from the right corner of the temple
to
the
left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the
temple.
12:011:012 And he brought forth the king’s son,
and put the crown upon
him,
and gave him the testimony; and they made him king,
and
anointed
him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save
the
king.
12:011:013 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the
guard and of the
people,
she came to the people into the temple of the lord.
12:011:014 And when she looked, behold, the king stood
by a pillar, as
the
manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the
king,
and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with
trumpets:
and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason,
Treason.
12:011:015 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains
of the
hundreds,
the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have
her
forth without the ranges: and him that followeth
her kill
with
the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not
be slain
in
the house of the lord.
12:011:016 And they laid hands on her; and she went
by the way by the
which
the horses came into the king’s house: and
there was she
slain.
12:011:017 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the
lord and the king and
the
people, that they should be the LORD’s people;
between the
king
also and the people.
12:011:018 And all the people of the land went into
the house of Baal,
and
brake it down; his altars and his images brake they
in
pieces
thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before
the
altars. And the priest appointed officers over
the house
of
the lord.
12:011:019 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and
the captains, and
the
guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought
down
the king from the house of the lord, and came
by the way
of
the gate of the guard to the king’s house.
And he sat on
the
throne of the kings.
12:011:020 And all the people of the land rejoiced,
and the city was in
quiet:
and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s
house.
