22:9. And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in
Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried
him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with
all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of
the race of Ochozias.
22:10. For Athalia his mother, seeing that her son was dead, rose up,
and killed all the royal family of the house of Joram.
22:11. But Josabeth the king's daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias,
and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain. And she hid
him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was
daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of
Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him.
22:12. And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, during
which Athalia reigned over the land.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 23
Joiada the high priest causeth Joas to be made king: Athalia to be
slain, and idolatry to be destroyed.
23:1. And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains
of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of
Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and
Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.
23:2. And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of
all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and
they came to Jerusalem.
23:3. And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house
of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king's son shall reign, as
the Lord hath said of the sons of David.
23:4. And this is the thing that you shall do:
23:5. A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and
of the Levites, and of the porters shall be at the gates: and a third
part at the king's house: and a third at the gate that is called the
Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the
house of the Lord.
To the sabbath... That is, to perform in your weeks the functions of
your office, or the weekly watches.
23:6. And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests,
and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because
they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches
of the Lord.
23:7. And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his
arms; and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; and let
them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.
23:8. So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the
high priest had commanded: and they took every one his men that were
under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who
had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high
priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to
succeed one another every week.
23:9. And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the
shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house
of the Lord.
23:10. And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the
right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the
altar, and the temple, round about the king.
23:11. And they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him,
and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they
made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and
they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.
23:12. Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and
praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the
Lord.
