2 Kings 11
Amplified Bible
Athaliah Queen of Judah
11 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah [king of Judah] saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram [of Judah and half] sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and abducted him from among the king’s sons who were to be killed, and hid him and his nurse in the [a]bedroom. So they hid him from Athaliah, and he was not put to death. 3 Joash was hidden with his nurse in the house (temple) of the Lord for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 Now in the seventh year Jehoiada [the priest, Jehosheba’s husband] sent for the captains of hundreds of the [b]Carites and of the guard and brought them to him to the house of the Lord. Then he made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king’s [hidden] son. 5 He commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: a third of you who come in [reporting for duty] on the Sabbath shall keep watch over the king’s house 6 (a third shall also be at the [city] gate Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards); so you shall keep watch over the palace [from three posts] for defense. 7 Two units of you, all those who go out [off duty] on the Sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house (temple) of the Lord for [the protection of] the king. 8 You shall surround the [young] king, each man with weapons in his hand; and whoever comes through the ranks shall be put to death. You are to be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”
9 The captains of hundreds acted in accordance with everything that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and each of them took his men who were to come in (on duty) on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out (off duty) on the Sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 The priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the house of the Lord. 11 And the guards stood, each man with weapons in his hand, from the right side to the left side of the temple area, by the altar [in the courtyard] and by the temple [proper], all around the king. 12 Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him and gave him the Testimony [a copy of the Mosaic Law]; and they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!”
13 When Athaliah heard the sound of the guards and of the people, she went into the house of the Lord to the people. 14 When she looked, behold, there stood the [young] king [on the platform] by the pillar, as was customary [on such occasions], and the captains and the trumpeters were beside the king; and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing the trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!” 15 Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds appointed over the army and said to them, “Take her out between the ranks, and whoever follows her put to death with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Let her not be put to death in the house (temple) of the Lord.” 16 So they seized her, and she went through the horses’ entrance to the king’s house (palace), and she was put to death there.
17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, that they would be the Lord’s people—also between the king and the people [to be his subjects]. 18 Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They utterly smashed his altar and his images to pieces, and they put Mattan the priest of Baal to death in front of the altars. And [Jehoiada] the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord. 19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, the Carites (royal bodyguards), the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought the [young] king down from the house of the Lord, and came by way of the guards’ gate to the king’s house. And [little] Joash sat on the throne of the kings. 20 So all the people of the land rejoiced and the city [of Jerusalem] was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king’s house.
21 [c]Jehoash (Joash) was seven years old when he became king.

O Livro
Atalia e Joás
(2 Cr 22.10-12)
11 Quando Atalia, mãe do rei Acazias de Judá, soube que o seu filho tinha morrido, matou os filhos deste. 2 Houve contudo um, Joás, que devia ter um ano de idade, que escapou, porque a sua tia Jeoseba, irmã do rei Acazias, filha do rei Jeorão, que era o pai de ambos, o salvou. Ela escondeu o menino e a sua ama numa câmara do templo, de tal forma que Atalia não o conseguiu matar. 3 Joás ficou escondido no templo do Senhor durante 6 anos. Entretanto, Atalia governava como rainha regente.
Rainha Atalia deposta e morta
(2 Cr 23.1-21)
4 No sétimo ano da regência de Atalia, o sacerdote Jeoiada convocou os oficiais da guarda e a guarda pessoal da rainha para um encontro no próprio templo; fê-los jurarem segredo absoluto e mostrou-lhes o filho do rei. 5 Depois deu-lhes instruções: “Um terço dos que estiverem de serviço ao sábado deverão fazer a guarda do palácio. 6 O outro terço guardará a porta de Sur e o outro terço ficará de guarda na porta que está por detrás dos outros guardas. Assim guardarão por turnos o templo. 7 As duas outras unidades que não estejam de serviço no sábado devem ficar de sentinela no templo, para proteger o rei. 8 Coloquem um corpo de guarda em redor do rei e tenham as vossas armas à mão. Matem todo aquele que se tentar abrir caminho. Mantenham-se sempre junto ao rei para onde quer que ele vá!”
9 Os oficiais seguiram estas indicações. Trouxeram a Jeoiada os homens que iam sair de serviço no sábado e também os que iam entrar. 10 Armaram-nos com as lanças e os escudos do próprio templo que tinham pertencido ao rei David. 11 Os guardas, armados, formaram uma linha, de um lado ao outro, na frente do templo e em volta do altar.
12 Jeoiada trouxe fora o príncipe, colocou-lhe uma coroa na cabeça, entregou-lhe uma cópia do testemunho e, imediatamente, o proclamaram rei e o ungiram. Toda a gente bateu as palmas e gritou: “Viva o rei!”
13 Atalia, ao ouvir as aclamações, correu para o templo para ver o que se passava, 14 Lá estava o rei, junto ao pilar da entrada, como era costume nas coroações, com os oficiais do exército e os trombeteiros a rodeá-lo. O povo que vinha de toda a parte manifestava a sua alegria, ao mesmo tempo que se ouvia o toque das cornetas. Atalia rasgou os vestidos e gritou: “Traição! Traição!”
15 “Tirem-na daqui”, ordenou Jeoiada aos oficiais da guarda. “Não a matem aqui no templo e matem quem quer que seja que tente livrá-la!”
16 Levaram-na para as cavalariças do palácio e ali a mataram. 17 Jeoiada fez então uma promessa solene perante o Senhor, o rei e o povo, que haveriam de ser o povo do Senhor. Fez também uma aliança com o rei e com o povo. 18 Depois toda a gente se dirigiu ao templo de Baal para derrubá-lo, destruindo os altares e as imagens, e mataram Matã, o sacerdote de Baal, diante dos altares.
Jeoiada pôs guardas no templo do Senhor. 19 Então ele, os oficiais da guarda, o corpo da guarda e todo o povo escoltaram o rei desde o templo, pelo caminho do quartel da guarda, até ao palácio e sentaram-no no trono real. 20 Toda a gente ficou feliz e a cidade se pacificou, após a morte de Atalia no palácio.
Joás rei de Judá
(2 Cr 24.1-3)
21 Joás tinha 7 anos quando começou a reinar.
2 Kings 11
New International Version
Athaliah and Joash(A)
11 When Athaliah(B) the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram[a] and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash(C) son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed.(D) 3 He remained hidden with his nurse at the temple of the Lord for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent for the commanders of units of a hundred, the Carites(E) and the guards and had them brought to him at the temple of the Lord. He made a covenant with them and put them under oath at the temple of the Lord. Then he showed them the king’s son. 5 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you are to do: You who are in the three companies that are going on duty on the Sabbath(F)—a third of you guarding the royal palace,(G) 6 a third at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guard, who take turns guarding the temple— 7 and you who are in the other two companies that normally go off Sabbath duty are all to guard the temple for the king. 8 Station yourselves around the king, each of you with weapon in hand. Anyone who approaches your ranks[b] is to be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
9 The commanders of units of a hundred did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men—those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 Then he gave the commanders the spears and shields(H) that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of the Lord. 11 The guards, each with weapon in hand, stationed themselves around the king—near the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
12 Jehoiada brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him; he presented him with a copy of the covenant(I) and proclaimed him king. They anointed(J) him, and the people clapped their hands(K) and shouted, “Long live the king!”(L)
13 When Athaliah heard the noise made by the guards and the people, she went to the people at the temple of the Lord. 14 She looked and there was the king, standing by the pillar,(M) as the custom was. The officers and the trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets.(N) Then Athaliah tore(O) her robes and called out, “Treason! Treason!”(P)
15 Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops: “Bring her out between the ranks[c] and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the temple(Q) of the Lord.” 16 So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter(R) the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.(S)
17 Jehoiada then made a covenant(T) between the Lord and the king and people that they would be the Lord’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.(U) 18 All the people of the land went to the temple(V) of Baal and tore it down. They smashed(W) the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest(X) of Baal in front of the altars.
Then Jehoiada the priest posted guards at the temple of the Lord. 19 He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites,(Y) the guards and all the people of the land, and together they brought the king down from the temple of the Lord and went into the palace, entering by way of the gate of the guards. The king then took his place on the royal throne. 20 All the people of the land rejoiced,(Z) and the city was calm, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the palace.

2 Reyes 11
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Atalía usurpa el trono(A)
11 Cuando Atalía, la madre de Ocozías, vio muerto a su hijo, se dispuso a poner fin a la familia real. 2 Pero Yoseba, que era hija del rey Jorán y hermana de Ocozías, se llevó a Joás hijo de Ocozías y, sin que nadie la viera, lo escondió de Atalía en una alcoba, junto con su nodriza. Así lo libró de que lo mataran junto con los otros hijos del rey. 3 Y Ocozías estuvo escondido seis años en el templo del Señor, junto con su nodriza, mientras Atalía era la reina del país.
4 Pero en el séptimo año Joyadá convocó a los jefes de centenas y a los capitanes, y a la gente de la guardia, y los llevó al templo del Señor, donde bajo juramento hizo alianza con ellos, después de lo cual les mostró al hijo del rey 5 y les ordenó:
«Ustedes van a hacer lo siguiente: en el día de reposo una tercera parte de ustedes tendrá a su cargo la vigilancia del palacio del rey. 6 Otra tercera parte se apostará a la entrada de Shur, y la otra tercera parte se apostará a la entrada del postigo de la guardia. Así cuidarán de que el palacio no sea allanado. 7 Las dos terceras partes de ustedes que están libres el día de reposo tendrán a su cargo la vigilancia del templo del Señor y del rey. 8 Estarán pendientes del rey por todos los flancos, cada uno con sus armas en la mano. Al que se acerque demasiado, mátenlo. Ustedes deberán vigilar cada paso del rey.»
9 Los jefes de centenas se reunieron con el sacerdote Joyadá e hicieron todo lo que el sacerdote Joyadá les ordenó; cada uno de ellos reunió a su gente, es decir, tanto a los que estaban de servicio en día de reposo como a los que estaban libres en día de reposo. 10 El sacerdote entregó a los jefes de centenas las lanzas y los escudos que habían sido del rey David, y que estaban en el templo del Señor. 11 Los de la guardia se formaron, desde el lado derecho hasta el lado izquierdo del templo, y junto al altar y el templo, y en derredor del rey. Cada uno tenía en sus manos sus armas. 12 Luego Joyadá sacó al hijo del rey, le puso la corona y el testimonio, lo ungieron y lo proclamaron rey. Aplaudían y gritaban: «¡Viva el rey!»
13 Cuando Atalía oyó el bullicio de la gente que corría, entró al templo del Señor y se hizo presente. 14 Cuando vio que el rey estaba junto a la columna, como era la costumbre, y que los príncipes y los trompeteros estaban junto al rey, y que todo el pueblo del país se regocijaba y tocaba las trompetas, se rasgó las vestiduras y a voz en cuello gritó: «¡Traición, traición!» 15 Pero el sacerdote Joyadá dio órdenes a los jefes de centenas que gobernaban el ejército, y les dijo:
«¡Échenla fuera del recinto del templo! A quien la siga, ¡mátenlo a filo de espada.»
Y es que el sacerdote había ordenado que no la mataran en el templo del Señor. 16 Por eso le abrieron paso, y la mataron en el camino por donde la gente de a caballo entra al palacio del rey.
17 El sacerdote Joyadá hizo un pacto entre el Señor, por una parte, y entre el rey y el pueblo, por la otra, y juraron que serían el pueblo del Señor. También se hizo un pacto entre el rey y el pueblo. 18 Y toda la gente del país entró en el templo de Baal, y lo derribaron; también destruyeron del todo sus altares y sus imágenes, y delante de los altares mataron a Matán, que era sacerdote de Baal.
Luego, el sacerdote apostó una guarnición en el templo del Señor. 19 Después tomó a los jefes de centenas, a los capitanes y a la guardia, y a todo el pueblo del país, y llevaron al rey desde el templo del Señor, siguiendo el camino que va de la puerta de la guardia al palacio del rey, y el rey se sentó en el trono real. 20 Y todo el pueblo del país se regocijó, y la ciudad se quedó tranquila, pues Atalía había muerto a filo de espada junto al palacio del rey.
21 Joás tenía siete años cuando comenzó a reinar.
