아달랴와 요아스
11 유다 왕 아하시야의 어머니인 아달랴는 자기 아들이 죽었다는 말을 듣고 왕족을 몰살시키라고 명령하였다.
2 그러나 아하시야의 아들 요아스만은 죽음을 면했는데 그는 여호람왕의 딸이며 아하시야의 누이인 그의 고모 여호세바에 의해서 죽음 직전에 구출되었다. 그녀는 자기 조카와 그의 유모를 성전 골방에 숨겨 아달랴의 손에 죽지 않게 하였다.
3 그들이 여호와의 성전에 6년을 숨어 있는 동안 아달랴가 나라를 다스렸다.
4 그러나 7년째 되는 해 제사장 여호야다는 [a]궁중 경호 담당관들과 경비 담당관들을 불러 성전으로 오게 하고 거기서 그들에게 비밀을 지키겠다는 다짐을 받아 여호와의 성전에서 맹세하게 한 다음 왕자 요아스를 보이며
5 그들에게 이렇게 지시하였다. “당신들은 안식일에 근무하러 나오는 사람들 중에 3분의 은 왕궁을 경계하고
6 또 3분의 은 수르문을 지키고 나머지 3분의 은 경비실 뒷문을 경계하게 하시오.
7 그리고 안식일에 근무를 마치는 두 조는 성전을 지켜 왕을 보호하도록 하시오.
8 당신들은 무장을 하고 왕이 가는 곳마다 따라다니면서 그를 경호하고 당신들에게 접근하는 자는 무조건 죽이시오.”
9 그들은 제사장 여호야다의 지시대로 각자 자기들이 통솔하는 부하들을 데리고 여호야다에게 왔다.
10 그러자 제사장은 성전에 보관되어 있던 다윗왕의 창과 방패를 그 담당관들에게 주었다.
11-12 그러고서 여호야다는 무장한 모든 호 위병들이 성전 주변을 삼엄하게 경비하는 가운데 왕자를 인도해 내고 그에게 왕관을 씌우며 율법책을 주고 기름을 부어 그를 왕으로 선포하였다. 그러자 모인 군중들은 박수를 치며 왕의 만세를 외쳤다.
13 아달랴가 성전에서 떠들어대는 소리를 듣고 그리로 달려가 보니
14 새 왕이 관례대로 성전 입구의 기둥 곁에 서 있었고 궁중 경호병들과 경비병들과 그리고 나팔수들이 왕의 주위에 둘러 서 있었으며 백성들은 모두 즐거워서 소리를 지르고 나팔수들은 나팔을 불고 있었다. 그러자 아달랴는 자기 옷을 찢으며 “반역이다! 반역이다!” 하고 외쳤다.
15 그때 제사장 여호야다는 경호 및 경비 담당관들에게 “저 여자를 성전 구내에서 죽이지 말고 밖으로 끌어내시오. 그리고 저 여자를 구출하려고 하는 자는 누구든지 죽이시오” 하였다.
16 그래서 그들은 그녀를 잡아 궁전으로 끌고 가서 말들의 출입구에서 죽였다.
제사장 여호야다의 개혁
17 여호야다는 왕과 백성들에게 여호와의 백성이 되겠다는 계약을 맺게 하고 또 왕과 백성들 사이에도 계약을 맺도록 하였다.
18 그러자 백성들은 바알의 신전으로 달려가서 그것을 헐고 그 단들과 우상들을 부수며 단 앞에서 바알의 제사장 맛단을 죽였다. 그러고서 여호야다는 성전에 경비병을 배치하고
19 궁중 경호병들과 경비병들의 호위를 받아 백성들을 거느리고 왕을 성전에서 궁전으로 모셨다.
20 왕이 경비실 문으로 궁전에 도착하여 왕좌에 앉자 모든 백성은 기뻐하였으며 성 안은 평온을 되찾았다. 이렇게 해서 아달랴는 궁전에서 죽음을 당했고
21 요아스가 7세에 유다의 왕이 되었다.

列王纪下 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶何耶大立约阿施为王
11 亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见儿子死了，便决定除掉王室后裔。 2 但约兰王的女儿、亚哈谢的妹妹约示芭把亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从被杀的王子中偷出来，将他和乳母藏在一间卧室里，才躲过亚她利雅，使约阿施没有被杀。 3 约阿施和他的乳母在耶和华的殿里藏了六年，那时亚她利雅篡位当政。
4 第七年，耶何耶大派人召迦利人[a]和卫兵的百夫长们到耶和华的殿里，与他们立约，让他们在耶和华的殿里起誓，然后把约阿施王子带到他们面前。 5 耶何耶大吩咐他们说：“你们在安息日值班的，三分之一要守卫王宫， 6 三分之一要守卫苏珥门，三分之一要守住卫兵院后门。你们要轮流守卫。 7 安息日没有值班的两队要在耶和华的殿里保护王， 8 各人要手持兵器护卫在王周围。凡擅自闯入者，都要处死。无论王去哪里，你们都要紧随左右。” 9 众百夫长依令而行，各自率领安息日值班和休班的随从来见耶何耶大。 10 耶何耶大把耶和华殿中大卫王的矛枪和盾牌交给百夫长。 11 从殿右到殿左，在祭坛和殿周围，卫兵都手持兵器护卫王。 12 耶何耶大祭司领王子出来，给他戴上王冠，把律法书交给他，膏立他为王。众人都鼓掌高呼：“愿王万岁！”
13 亚她利雅听见卫兵和众人的欢呼声，便走进耶和华的殿，众人都聚集在那里。 14 她看见王照例站在柱旁，百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右，众人都欢呼吹号，便撕裂衣服喊叫：“反了！反了！” 15 耶何耶大祭司认为不可在耶和华的殿里处死亚她利雅，便命令领兵的百夫长：“把她带出去。凡跟随她的，都要杀掉。” 16 他们抓住她，把她带到马匹进出王宫的入口，在那里杀了她。
17 耶何耶大让王及民众与耶和华立约，做耶和华的子民，也让王与民众立约。 18 于是，民众出去拆毁了巴力庙，砸碎祭坛和偶像，在坛前杀了巴力的祭司玛坦。耶何耶大派守卫保护耶和华的殿， 19 然后率领百夫长、迦利人、卫兵和民众，护送王从耶和华的殿下来，经过卫兵院的门进入王宫。这样，约阿施坐上了王位。 20 民众都欢喜快乐，城里安定，因为亚她利雅已在王宫那里被处死。 21 约阿施七岁登基。

2 Kings 11
New International Reader's Version
Athaliah and Joash
11 Athaliah was Ahaziah’s mother. She saw that her son was dead. So she began to destroy the whole royal house of Judah. 2 But Jehosheba went and got Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Jehosheba was the daughter of King Jehoram and the sister of Ahaziah. She stole Joash away from among the royal princes. All of them were about to be murdered. She put Joash and his nurse in a bedroom. That’s how she hid him from Athaliah. And that’s why Athaliah didn’t kill him. 3 The child remained hidden with his nurse at the Lord’s temple for six years. Athaliah ruled over the land during that time.
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada the priest sent for the commanders of military groups of 100 men. They were the commanders over the Carites and the guards. Jehoiada had them brought to him at the temple of the Lord. He made a covenant with them. At the temple he made them promise to be faithful. Then he showed them the king’s son. 5 He gave them a command. He said, “Here’s what you must do. There are five groups of you. Some of you are in the three groups that are going on duty on the Sabbath day. A third of you must guard the royal palace. 6 A third of you must guard the Sur Gate. And a third of you must guard the gate that is behind the guard. All of you must take turns guarding the temple. 7 The rest of you are in the other two groups. Normally you are not on duty on the Sabbath day. But you also must guard the temple for the king. 8 Station yourselves around the king. Each of you must have his weapon in his hand. Anyone else who approaches your groups must be put to death. Stay close to the king no matter where he goes.”
9 The commanders of the military groups did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each commander got his men and came to Jehoiada. Some of the men were going on duty on the Sabbath day. Others were going off duty. 10 Then Jehoiada gave weapons to the commanders. He gave them spears and shields. The weapons had belonged to King David. They had been in the Lord’s temple. 11 The guards stationed themselves around the new king. Each of them had his weapon in his hand. They were near the altar and the temple. They stood from the south side of the temple to its north side.
12 Jehoiada brought out Ahaziah’s son. He put the crown on him. He gave him a copy of the covenant. And he announced that Joash was king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. The people clapped their hands. Then they shouted, “May the king live a long time!”
13 Athaliah heard the noise the guards and the people were making. So she went to the people at the Lord’s temple. 14 She looked, and there was the king! He was standing next to the pillar. That was the usual practice. The officers and trumpet players were standing beside the king. All the people of the land were filled with joy. They were blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her royal robes. She called out, “Treason! It’s treason!”
15 Jehoiada the priest gave an order to the commanders of the military groups of 100 men. The commanders were in charge of the troops. He said to them, “Bring her away from the temple between the line of guards. Use your swords to kill anyone who follows her.” The priest had said, “She must not be put to death at the Lord’s temple.” 16 So they grabbed her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds. There she was put to death.
17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and people. He had the king and people promise that they would be the Lord’s people. Jehoiada also made a covenant between the king and the people. 18 All the people of the land went to Baal’s temple. They tore it down. They smashed to pieces the altars and the statues of gods. They killed Mattan in front of the altars. He was the priest of Baal.
Then Jehoiada the priest stationed guards at the temple of the Lord. 19 Jehoiada took with him the commanders of groups of 100 men. They were the commanders over the Carites and the guards. He also took with him all the people of the land. All of them brought the new king down from the Lord’s temple. They went into the palace. They entered it by going through the gate of the guards. Then the king sat down on the royal throne. 20 All the people of the land were filled with joy. And the city was calm. That’s because Athaliah had been killed with a sword at the palace.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became king.
