2 Kings 11:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ He gave the commanders the spears and the shields that had belonged to King David but were now in the Lord’s temple. ¹¹ The guards stood with their weapons in their hands. They were stationed around the king and around the altar and the temple (from the south side to the north side of the temple). ¹² Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, gave him the crown and the religious instructions, and made him king by anointing him. As the guards clapped their hands, they said, “Long live the king!”
