14:023:011 Then they brought out the king’s
son, and put upon him the
crown,
and gave him the testimony, and made him king.
And
Jehoiada
and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the
king.
14:023:012 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the
people running and
praising
the king, she came to the people into the house of
the
lord:
14:023:013 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood
at his pillar at
the
entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the
king:
and
all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with
trumpets,
also the singers with instruments of musick, and
such
as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her
clothes,
and
said, Treason, Treason.
14:023:014 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the
captains of hundreds
that
were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her
forth
of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him
be slain
with
the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in
the house
of
the lord.
14:023:015 So they laid hands on her; and when she
was come to the
entering
of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew
her
there.
14:023:016 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him,
and between all the
people,
and between the king, that they should be the LORD’s
people.
14:023:017 Then all the people went to the house of
Baal, and brake it
down,
and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and
slew
Mattan
the priest of Baal before the altars.
14:023:018 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of
the house of the lord
by
the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had
distributed
in the house of the lord, to offer the burnt
offerings
of the lord, as it is written in the law of Moses,
with
rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
14:023:019 And he set the porters at the gates of
the house of the lord,
that
none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
14:023:020 And he took the captains of hundreds, and
the nobles, and the
governors
of the people, and all the people of the land, and
brought
down the king from the house of the lord:
and they
came
through the high gate into the king’s house,
and set the
king
upon the throne of the kingdom.
14:023:021 And all the people of the land rejoiced:
and the city was
quiet,
after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
14:024:001 Joash was seven years old when he began
to reign, and he
reigned
forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name
also was
Zibiah
of Beersheba.
