KJV

1  And when Athaliah6271 the mother517 of Ahaziah274 saw7200 that3588 her son1121 was dead,4191 she arose6965 and destroyed6 853 all3605 the seed2233 royal.4467

2  But Jehosheba,3089 the daughter1323 of king4428 Joram,3141 sister269 of Ahaziah,274 took3947 853 Joash3101 the son1121 of Ahaziah,274 and stole1589 him from among4480 8432 the king's4428 sons1121 which were slain;4191 and they hid5641 him, even him and his nurse,3243 in the bedchamber2315 4296 from4480 6440 Athaliah,6271 so that he was not3808 slain.4191

3  And he was1961 with her854 hid2244 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 six8337 years.8141 And Athaliah6271 did reign4427 over5921 the land.776

4  And the seventh7637 year8141 Jehoiada3077 sent7971 and fetched3947 853 the rulers8269 over hundreds,3967 with the captains3746 and the guard,7323 and brought935 them to413 him into the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and made3772 a covenant1285 with them, and took an oath7650 of them in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and showed7200 them 853 the king's4428 son.1121

5  And he commanded6680 them, saying,559 This2088 is the thing1697 that834 ye shall do;6213 A third part7992 of4480 you that enter935 in on the sabbath7676 shall even be keepers8104 of the watch4931 of the king's4428 house;1004

6  And a third part7992 shall be at the gate8179 of Sur;5495 and a third part7992 at the gate8179 behind310 the guard:7323 so shall ye keep8104 853 the watch4931 of the house,1004 that it be not broken down.4535

7  And two8147 parts3027 of all3605 you that go forth3318 on the sabbath,7676 even they shall keep8104 853 the watch4931 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 about413 the king.4428

8  And ye shall compass5362 5921 the king4428 round about,5439 every man376 with his weapons3627 in his hand:3027 and he that cometh935 within413 the ranges,7713 let him be slain:4191 and be1961 ye with854 the king4428 as he goeth out3318 and as he cometh in.935

9  And the captains8269 over the hundreds3967 did6213 according to all3605 things that834 Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 commanded:6680 and they took3947 every man376 853 his men376 that were to come in935 on the sabbath,7676 with5973 them that should go out3318 on the sabbath,7676 and came935 to413 Jehoiada3077 the priest.3548

10  And to the captains8269 over hundreds3967 did the priest3548 give5414 853 king4428 David's1732 spears2595 and shields,7982 that834 were in the temple1004 of the LORD.3068

11  And the guard7323 stood,5975 every man376 with his weapons3627 in his hand,3027 round about5439 5921 the king,4428 from the right corner4480 3802 3233 of the temple1004 to5704 the left8042 corner3802 of the temple,1004 along by the altar4196 and the temple.1004

12  And he brought forth3318 853 the king's4428 son,1121 and put5414 853 the crown5145 upon5921 him, and gave him the testimony;5715 and they made him king,4427 853 and anointed4886 him; and they clapped5221 their hands,3709 and said,559 God save2421 the king.4428

13  And when Athaliah6271 heard8085 853 the noise6963 of the guard7323 and of the people,5971 she came935 to413 the people5971 into the temple1004 of the LORD.3068

14  And when she looked,7200 behold,2009 the king4428 stood5975 by5921 a pillar,5982 as the manner4941 was, and the princes8269 and the trumpeters2689 by413 the king,4428 and all3605 the people5971 of the land776 rejoiced,8056 and blew8628 with trumpets:2689 and Athaliah6271 rent7167 853 her clothes,899 and cried,7121 Treason,7195 Treason.7195

15  But Jehoiada3077 the priest3548 commanded6680 853 the captains8269 of the hundreds,3967 the officers6485 of the host,2428 and said559 unto413 them, Have her forth3318 853 without413 4480 1004 the ranges:7713 and him that followeth935 310 her kill4191 with the sword.2719 For3588 the priest3548 had said,559 Let her not408 be slain4191 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

16  And they laid7760 hands3027 on her; and she went935 by the way1870 by the which the horses5483 came3996 into the king's4428 house:1004 and there8033 was she slain.4191

17  And Jehoiada3077 made3772 853 a covenant1285 between996 the LORD3068 and the king4428 and the people,5971 that they should be1961 the LORD's3068 people;5971 between996 the king4428 also and the people.5971

18  And all3605 the people5971 of the land776 went935 into the house1004 of Baal,1168 and broke it down;5422 his altars4196 and his images6754 broke they in pieces7665 thoroughly,3190 and slew2026 853 Mattan4977 the priest3548 of Baal1168 before6440 the altars.4196 And the priest3548 appointed7760 officers6486 over5921 the house1004 of the LORD.3068

19  And he took3947 853 the rulers8269 over hundreds,3967 and the captains,3746 and the guard,7323 and all3605 the people5971 of the land;776 and they brought down3381 853 the king4428 from the house4480 1004 of the LORD,3068 and came935 by the way1870 of the gate8179 of the guard7323 to the king's4428 house.1004 And he sat3427 on5921 the throne3678 of the kings.4428

20  And all3605 the people5971 of the land776 rejoiced,8055 and the city5892 was in quiet:8252 and they slew4191 Athaliah6271 with the sword2719 beside the king's4428 house.1004

21  Seven7651 years8141 old1121 was Jehoash3060 when he began to reign.4427

1 καὶ Γοθολια ἡ μήτηρ Οχοζιου εἶδεν ὅτι ἀπέθανον οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπώλεσεν πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα τῆς βασιλείας

2 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ιωσαβεε θυγάτηρ τοῦ βασιλέως Ιωραμ ἀδελφὴ Οχοζιου τὸν Ιωας υἱὸν ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ ἔκλεψεν αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν θανατουμένων αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν τροφὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ταμιείῳ τῶν κλινῶν καὶ ἔκρυψεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου Γοθολιας καὶ οὐκ ἐθανατώθη

3 καὶ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῆς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου κρυβόμενος ἓξ ἔτη καὶ Γοθολια βασιλεύουσα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

4 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἀπέστειλεν Ιωδαε ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους τὸν Χορρι καὶ τὸν Ρασιμ καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς διαθήκην κυρίου καὶ ὥρκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς Ιωδαε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως

5 καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ποιήσετε τὸ τρίτον ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰσελθέτω τὸ σάββατον καὶ φυλάξετε φυλακὴν οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν τῷ πυλῶνι

6 καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῶν ὁδῶν καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς πύλης ὀπίσω τῶν παρατρεχόντων καὶ φυλάξετε τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ οἴκου

7 καὶ δύο χεῖρες ἐν ὑμῖν πᾶς ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος τὸ σάββατον καὶ φυλάξουσιν τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου κυρίου πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα

8 καὶ κυκλώσατε ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ ἀνὴρ καὶ τὸ σκεῦος αὐτοῦ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς τὰ σαδηρωθ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτόν

9 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἑκατόνταρχοι πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Ιωδαε ὁ συνετός καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀνὴρ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ τοὺς εἰσπορευομένους τὸ σάββατον μετὰ τῶν ἐκπορευομένων τὸ σάββατον καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Ιωδαε τὸν ἱερέα

10 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχαις τοὺς σειρομάστας καὶ τοὺς τρισσοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυιδ τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

11 καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ παρατρέχοντες ἀνὴρ καὶ τὸ σκεῦος αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου τῆς δεξιᾶς ἕως τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου τῆς εὐωνύμου τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ

12 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸ νεζερ καὶ τὸ μαρτύριον καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτόν καὶ ἐκρότησαν τῇ χειρὶ καὶ εἶπαν ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς

13 καὶ ἤκουσεν Γοθολια τὴν φωνὴν τῶν τρεχόντων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου

14 καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς εἱστήκει ἐπὶ τοῦ στύλου κατὰ τὸ κρίμα καὶ οἱ ᾠδοὶ καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς χαίρων καὶ σαλπίζων ἐν σάλπιγξιν καὶ διέρρηξεν Γοθολια τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτῆς καὶ ἐβόησεν σύνδεσμος σύνδεσμος

15 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ιωδαε ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχαις τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἐξαγάγετε αὐτὴν ἔσωθεν τῶν σαδηρωθ καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος ὀπίσω αὐτῆς θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται ῥομφαίᾳ ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

16 καὶ ἐπέθηκαν αὐτῇ χεῖρας καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁδὸν εἰσόδου τῶν ἵππων οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ

17 καὶ διέθετο Ιωδαε διαθήκην ἀνὰ μέσον κυρίου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ εἶναι εἰς λαὸν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ λαοῦ

18 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς εἰς οἶκον τοῦ Βααλ καὶ κατέσπασαν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς εἰκόνας αὐτοῦ συνέτριψαν ἀγαθῶς καὶ τὸν Ματθαν τὸν ἱερέα τοῦ Βααλ ἀπέκτειναν κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν θυσιαστηρίων καὶ ἔθηκεν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπισκόπους εἰς τὸν οἶκον κυρίου

19 καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ τὸν Χορρι καὶ τὸν Ρασιμ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς καὶ κατήγαγον τὸν βασιλέα ἐξ οἴκου κυρίου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁδὸν πύλης τῶν παρατρεχόντων οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐκάθισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῶν βασιλέων

20 καὶ ἐχάρη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς καὶ ἡ πόλις ἡσύχασεν καὶ τὴν Γοθολιαν ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως

1 Athalia vero mater Ochoziæ, videns mortuum filium suum, surrexit, et interfecit omne semen regium.

2 Tollens autem Josaba filia regis Joram, soror Ochoziæ, Joas filium Ochoziæ, furata est eum de medio filiorum regis qui interficiebantur, et nutricem ejus de triclinio: et abscondit eum a facie Athaliæ ut non interficeretur.

3 Eratque cum ea sex annis clam in domo Domini: porro Athalia regnavit super terram.

4 Anno autem septimo misit Jojada, et assumens centuriones et milites, introduxit ad se in templum Domini, pepigitque cum eis fœdus: et adjurans eos in domo Domini, ostendit eis filium regis:

5 et præcepit illis, dicens: Iste est sermo, quem facere debetis:

6 tertia pars vestrum introëat sabbato, et observet excubias domus regis. Tertia autem pars sit ad portam Sur, et tertia pars sit ad portam quæ est post habitaculum scutariorum: et custodietis excubias domus Messa.

7 Duæ vero partes e vobis, omnes egredientes sabbato, custodiant excubias domus Domini circa regem.

8 Et vallabitis eum, habentes arma in manibus vestris: si quis autem ingressus fuerit septum templi, interficiatur: eritisque cum rege introëunte et egrediente.

9 Et fecerunt centuriones juxta omnia quæ præceperat eis Jojada sacerdos: et assumentes singuli viros suos qui ingrediebantur sabbato, cum his qui egrediebantur sabbato, venerunt ad Jojadam sacerdotem.

10 Qui dedit eis hastas et arma regis David, quæ erant in domo Domini.

11 Et steterunt singuli habentes arma in manu sua, a parte templi dextera usque ad partem sinistram altaris et ædis, circum regem.

12 Produxitque filium regis, et posuit super eum diadema et testimonium: feceruntque eum regem, et unxerunt: et plaudentes manu, dixerunt: Vivat rex.

13 Audivit autem Athalia vocem populi currentis: et ingressa ad turbas in templum Domini,

14 vidit regem stantem super tribunal juxta morem, et cantores, et tubas prope eum, omnemque populum terræ lætantem, et canentem tubis: et scidit vestimenta sua, clamavitque: Conjuratio, conjuratio.

15 Præcepit autem Jojada centurionibus qui erant super exercitum, et ait eis: Educite eam extra septa templi, et quicumque eam secutus fuerit, feriatur gladio. Dixerat enim sacerdos: Non occidatur in templo Domini.

16 Imposueruntque ei manus, et impegerunt eam per viam introitus equorum, juxta palatium, et interfecta est ibi.

17 Pepigit ergo Jojada fœdus inter Dominum, et inter regem, et inter populum, ut esset populus Domini: et inter regem et populum.

18 Ingressusque est omnis populus terræ templum Baal, et destruxerunt aras ejus, et imagines contriverunt valide: Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal occiderunt coram altari. Et posuit sacerdos custodias in domo Domini.

19 Tulitque centuriones, et Cerethi et Phelethi legiones, et omnem populum terræ, deduxeruntque regem de domo Domini: et venerunt per viam portæ scutariorum in palatium, et sedit super thronum regum.

20 Lætatusque est omnis populus terræ, et civitas conquievit: Athalia autem occisa est gladio in domo regis.

21 Septemque annorum erat Joas, cum regnare cœpisset.
