14:022:011 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king,
took Joash the son
of
Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s
sons that were
slain,
and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So
Jehoshabeath,
the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of
Jehoiada
the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid
him
from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
14:022:012 And he was with them hid in the house of
God six years: and
Athaliah
reigned over the land.
14:023:001 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened
himself, and
took
the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham,
and
Ishmael
the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed,
and
Maaseiah
the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri,
into
covenant with him.
14:023:002 And they went about in Judah, and gathered
the Levites out of
all
the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of
Israel,
and they came to Jerusalem.
14:023:003 And all the congregation made a covenant
with the king in the
house
of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s
son
shall
reign, as the lord hath said of the sons of David.
14:023:004 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third
part of you
entering
on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites,
shall
be porters of the doors;
14:023:005 And a third part shall be at the king’s
house; and a third
part
at the gate of the foundation: and all the people
shall
be
in the courts of the house of the lord.
14:023:006 But let none come into the house of the
lord, save the
priests,
and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go
in,
for they are holy: but all the people shall keep
the watch
of
the lord.
14:023:007 And the Levites shall compass the king
round about, every man
with
his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh
into
the
house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with
the king
when
he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
14:023:008 So the Levites and all Judah did according
to all things that
Jehoiada
the priest had commanded, and took every man his men
that
were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were
to go
out
on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed
not the
courses.
14:023:009 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered
to the captains of
hundreds
spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king
David’s,
which were in the house of God.
14:023:010 And he set all the people, every man having
his weapon in his
hand,
from the right side of the temple to the left side
of
the
temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king
round
about.
