23 Sang ikapito nga tuig, naghimo na sang tikang si Jehoyada. Naghimo siya sang kasugtanan sa lima ka kumander sang ginatos nga mga soldado. Sila amo si Azaria nga anak ni Jeroham, Ishmael nga anak ni Jehonanan, Azaria nga anak ni Obed, Maasea nga anak ni Adaya, kag Elishafat nga anak ni Zicri. Ini sila naglibot sa tanan nga banwa sang Juda sa pagtipon sa mga Levita kag sa mga pangulo sang mga pamilya.

Pag-abot nila tanan sa Jerusalem, nagkadto sila sa templo sang Dios kag naghimo sang kasugtanan kay Joash nga anak sang hari. Nagsiling si Jehoyada sa mga tawo, “Amo na ini ang tion nga magahari ang anak sang hari, suno sa ginpromisa sang Ginoo nga may ara permi sang kaliwat si David nga magahari. Karon amo ini ang inyo himuon: Ang isa sa tatlo ka bahin sang mga pari kag mga Levita, nga nagaguwardya kon Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, magguwardya sa mga puwertahan sang templo. Ang isa pa sa tatlo ka bahin magguwardya sa palasyo sang hari. Kag ang isa pa gid sa tatlo ka bahin magguwardya sa Puwertahan sang Pundasyon. Ang iban nga mga tawo didto sa mga lagwerta sang templo sang Ginoo. Wala sing may magsulod sa templo sang Ginoo, luwas lang sa mga pari kag mga Levita nga nagaalagad sa sina nga tion. Puwede sila makasulod tungod gindedikar sila para sa sini nga buluhaton. Pero ang iban kinahanglan didto lang magguwardya sa guwa suno sa sugo sang Ginoo. Dapat guwardyahan maayo sang mga Levita ang hari, nga preparado ang ila mga armas, kag sundan nila siya bisan diin siya magkadto. Ang bisan sin-o nga magsulod sa templo nga indi pari ukon Levita dapat patyon.”

Ginhimo sang mga Levita kag sang tanan nga taga-Juda ang ginsugo ni Jehoyada nga pari. Gintipon sang mga kumander ang ila mga tinawo nga nagaguwardya kon Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, pati man ang wala nagaguwardya sa sina nga adlaw. Wala anay ginpapauli ni Jehoyada ang mga Levita bisan natapos na ang ila turno. Dayon ginhatagan ni Jehoyada ang mga kumander sang mga bangkaw kag sang dalagko kag magagmay nga mga taming nga iya sadto ni Haring David, nga gintago didto sa templo sang Dios. 10 Ginpaplastar niya ang mga armado nga mga lalaki sa palibot sang templo kag sang halaran, sa pagprotektar sa hari.

11 Dayon ginpaguwa ni Jehoyada kag sang iya mga anak si Joash nga anak sang hari kag ginkoronahan. Ginhatagan niya siya sang kopya sang mga pagsulundan parte sa pagdumala sang hari,[a] kag ginproklamar niya siya nga hari. Ginhaplasan niya siya sang lana bilang pagkilala sa iya nga hari, kag nagsininggit dayon ang mga tawo, “Mabuhay ang hari!”

12 Sang pagkabati ni Atalia sang ginahod sang mga tawo nga nagadinalagan kag nagasininggit sa pagdayaw sa hari, nagkadto siya sa ila didto sa templo sang Ginoo. 13 Kag nakita niya didto ang bag-o nga hari nga nagatindog malapit sa haligi nga masami nga ginatindugan sang mga hari sa may puwertahan sang templo. Ara sa tupad sang hari ang mga kumander kag ang mga manugtrumpeta, kag ang tanan nga tawo nagahinugyaw kag nagapatunog sang mga trumpeta. Ang mga manugkanta nga may mga instrumento nagapanguna sa pagdayaw sa Dios. Sang makita ini tanan ni Atalia, gin-gisi niya ang iya bayo sa kalain sang iya buot, kag nagsinggit, “Mga traidor! Mga traidor!”

14 Ginmanduan ni Jehoyada ang mga kumander sang mga soldado, “Dal-a ninyo sa guwa si Atalia. Indi ninyo siya pagpatya diri sa sulod sang templo sang Ginoo. Kag patya ninyo ang bisan sin-o nga gusto magluwas sa iya.” 15 Gani gindakop nila siya kag gindala sa samputan sang Puwertahan sang mga Kabayo nga pasulod sa palasyo, kag didto ginpatay nila siya.

Ang mga Pagbag-o nga Ginhimo ni Jehoyada(A)

16 Naghimo sang kasugtanan si Jehoyada upod sa mga tawo kag sa hari nga sila mangin katawhan sang Ginoo. 17 Nagkadto dayon ang tanan nga tawo sa templo ni Baal kag gin-guba nila ini. Gindugmok nila ang mga halaran kag ang mga dios-dios sini, kag ginpatay nila si Matan nga pari ni Baal sa atubangan sang mga halaran.

18 Dayon gintugyan ni Jehoyada sa mga pari nga mga kaliwat ni Levi ang pagdumala sa templo sang Ginoo pareho sadto sa ginhimo ni David. Magahalad sila sang mga halad nga ginasunog suno sa nasulat sa Kasuguan ni Moises, kag magahinugyaw kag magakanta suno sa ginmando ni David. 19 Nagpabutang man si Jehoyada sang mga manugbantay sa mga puwertahan sang templo sang Ginoo agod wala sing may makasulod nga tawo nga ginakabig nga mahigko.

20 Dayon gin-upod niya ang mga kumander, ang mga dungganon nga mga tawo, ang mga opisyal kag ang tanan nga tawo, kag ila gindul-ong ang hari sa palasyo halin sa templo sang Ginoo. Didto sila nag-agi sa Aminhan nga Puwertahan. Dayon ginpapungko nila ang hari sa iya trono. 21 Nagkinalipay ang mga tawo, kag malinong na ang siyudad sa tapos ginpatay si Atalia.

23 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.

This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;

And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.

But let none come into the house of the Lord, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord.

And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.

10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord:

13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.

15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the Lord's people.

17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the Lord by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.

19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.

20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the Lord: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.

21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

Joash Crowned King of Judah(A)

23 In (B)the seventh year (C)Jehoiada strengthened himself, and made a covenant with the captains of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of (D)Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri. And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the (E)chief fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord has (F)said of the sons of David. This is what you shall do: One-third of you (G)entering on the Sabbath, of the priests and the Levites, shall be keeping watch over the doors; one-third shall be at the king’s house; and one-third at the Gate of the Foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord. But let no one come into the house of the Lord except the priests and (H)those of the Levites who serve. They may go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord. And the Levites shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes into the house, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed (I)the divisions. And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and the large and small (J)shields which had belonged to King David, that were in the temple of God. 10 Then he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and by the temple, all around the king. 11 And they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, (K)gave him the [a]Testimony, and made him king. Then Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, “Long live the king!”

Death of Athaliah(L)

12 Now when (M)Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord. 13 When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and (N)those who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, (O)“Treason! Treason!”

14 And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of the Lord.”

15 So they seized her; and she went by way of the entrance (P)of the Horse Gate into the king’s house, and they killed her there.

16 Then Jehoiada made a (Q)covenant between himself, the people, and the king, that they should be the Lord’s people. 17 And all the people went to the [b]temple of Baal, and tore it down. They broke in pieces its altars and images, and (R)killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the Lord to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had (S)assigned in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the (T)Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David. 19 And he set the (U)gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter.

20 (V)Then he took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the Lord; and they went through the Upper Gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. 21 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
