Expanded Bible

Joash Becomes King

¹¹ Then each guard took his place with his weapons in his hand. ·There were guards [They stretched] from the ·south [^Lright] side of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] to the ·north [^Lleft] side. They stood by the altar and the ·Temple [^Lhouse] and around the king. ¹² Jehoiada brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him and gave him a copy of the ·agreement [covenant; testimony]. They ·appointed him king and poured olive oil on [anointed] him. Then they clapped their hands and ·said [shouted], “Long live the king!”

¹³ When Athaliah heard the noise of the guards and the people, she went to them at the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord.
