2 Reyes 11
La Biblia de las Américas
Atalía usurpa el trono
11 (A)Cuando Atalía, madre de Ocozías, vio que su hijo había muerto, se levantó y exterminó a toda la descendencia[a] real. 2 Pero Josaba[b], hija del rey Joram, hermana de Ocozías, tomó a Joás(B), hijo de Ocozías, y lo sacó furtivamente de entre los hijos del rey a quienes estaban dando muerte, y lo puso a él y a su nodriza en la alcoba. Así lo escondieron de Atalía, y no le dieron muerte. 3 Y estuvo escondido con ella en la casa del Señor seis años, mientras Atalía reinaba en el país.
4 Pero en el séptimo año Joiada mandó a buscar[c] e hizo venir a los capitanes de centenas de los cariteos y de la guardia[d], y los hizo venir a él en la casa del Señor(C). Entonces hizo un pacto con ellos en la casa del Señor y los puso bajo juramento, y les mostró al hijo del rey(D). 5 Y les dio orden(E), diciendo: Esto es lo que haréis: una tercera parte de vosotros, los que entran en el día de reposo y hacen la guardia en la casa del rey, 6 harán[e] la guardia en la casa para su defensa; también una tercera parte estará en la puerta Sur, y otra tercera parte en la puerta detrás de los guardias[f]. 7 Dos partes de vosotros, es decir, todos los que salen el día de reposo, también harán la guardia en la casa del Señor junto al rey. 8 Entonces rodearéis al rey, cada uno con sus armas en la mano; y cualquiera que penetre las filas será muerto. Y estad con el rey cuando salga y cuando entre(F).
9 Y los capitanes de centenas hicieron conforme a todo lo que había ordenado el sacerdote Joiada. Y cada uno de ellos tomó sus hombres, los que habían de entrar en el día de reposo, junto con los que habían de salir el día de reposo, y vinieron al sacerdote Joiada(G). 10 Entonces el sacerdote dio a los capitanes de centenas las lanzas y los escudos que habían sido del rey David(H), que estaban en la casa del Señor. 11 Y los guardias[g] se colocaron cada uno con sus armas en la mano, desde el lado[h] derecho de la casa hasta el lado[i] izquierdo de la misma[j], junto al altar y junto a la casa, alrededor del rey. 12 Entonces Joiada sacó al hijo del rey y le puso la corona(I), y le dio el libro del testimonio(J); hicieron rey a Joás y lo ungieron, y batiendo palmas, gritaron[k]: ¡Viva el rey(K)!
13 Al oír Atalía el ruido de la guardia[l] y del pueblo, se llegó al pueblo en la casa del Señor(L), 14 y miró, y he aquí el rey estaba de pie junto a la columna, según la costumbre(M), y los capitanes y los trompetas[m] estaban al lado del rey; y todo el pueblo del país se regocijaba y tocaba trompetas(N). Entonces Atalía rasgó sus vestidos(O), y gritó: ¡Traición, traición(P)! 15 Pero el sacerdote Joiada dio orden a los capitanes de centenas que estaban al mando del ejército, y les dijo: Sacadla de entre[n] las filas, y al que la siga, matadlo a espada. Porque el sacerdote había dicho: No la matéis en la casa del Señor. 16 Y le echaron[o] mano; y cuando ella llegó a la entrada de los caballos de la casa del rey, allí la mataron(Q).
17 Entonces Joiada hizo un pacto entre el Señor(R) y el rey y el pueblo, de que ellos serían el pueblo del Señor; asimismo entre el rey y el pueblo(S). 18 Y todo el pueblo del país fue a la casa de Baal y la derribaron, destruyeron completamente sus altares y sus imágenes(T) y mataron delante de los altares a Matán, sacerdote de Baal(U). Y el sacerdote nombró oficiales[p] sobre la casa del Señor. 19 Y tomó a los capitanes de centenas, a los cariteos, a los guardias[q] y a todo el pueblo del país, e hicieron descender al rey de la casa del Señor(V), y vinieron por el camino de la puerta de los guardias[r](W) a la casa del rey. Y él se sentó en el trono de los reyes. 20 Y todo el pueblo del país se regocijó(X), y la ciudad quedó tranquila, porque Atalía había sido muerta a espada en la casa del rey.
21 [s]Joás[t] tenía siete años cuando comenzó a reinar(Y).

2 Kings 11
Jubilee Bible 2000
11 ¶ And Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, seeing that her son was dead, arose and destroyed all the royal seed.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years, and Athaliah was queen over the land.
4 ¶ But the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took rulers over hundreds, captains and people of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD and made a covenant with them, causing them to swear an oath in the house of the LORD, and he showed them the king’s son.
5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; a third part of you that shall enter in on the sabbath shall be the keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
6 and a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; {Heb. turning aside} and a third part at the gate behind the guard; so ye shall have the watch of the house of Mesah. {Heb. broken down}
7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
8 And ye shall compass the king round about, each man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes within these orders shall be slain. Ye must be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.
9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada, the priest, commanded; and each man took his men that were to come in on the sabbath with those that should go out on the sabbath and came to Jehoiada, the priest.
10 And the priest gave the captains over hundreds King David’s spears and shields that were in the house of the LORD.
11 And the guard stood, each man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, next to the altar and the house.
12 Then he brought forth the king’s son and put the crown upon him and gave him the testimony, and they made him king by anointing him; and they clapped their hands and said, Long live the king.
13 ¶ And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running, she came to the people into the house of the LORD;
14 and when she looked, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as was his right, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes and cried, Treason, Treason.
15 Then Jehoiada, the priest, commanded the captains of the hundreds that governed the host and said unto them, Take her forth outside the order of the house and kill with the sword any that follow her. (For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.)
16 And they laid hands on her, and she went by the way by which the horsemen enter into the king’s house, and there she was slain.
17 ¶ Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; and likewise between the king and the people.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly and slew Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
19 And he took the rulers over hundreds and the captains and the guard and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest after they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
2 Kings 11
King James Version
11 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the king's son.
5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.
8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the Lord.
11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the Lord.
14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.
16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; between the king also and the people.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.
19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.
21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
2 Kings 11
New King James Version
Athaliah Reigns in Judah(A)
11 When (B)Athaliah (C)the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was (D)dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs. 2 But [a]Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of (E)Ahaziah, took [b]Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered; and they hid him and his nurse in the bedroom, from Athaliah, so that he was not killed. 3 So he was hidden with her in the house of the Lord for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Joash Crowned King of Judah(F)
4 In (G)the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds—of the bodyguards and the [c]escorts—and brought them into the house of the Lord to him. And he made a covenant with them and took an oath from them in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king’s son. 5 Then he commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall do: One-third of you who [d]come on duty (H)on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king’s house, 6 one-third shall be at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down. 7 The two [e]contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord for the king. 8 But you shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within range, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.”
9 (I)So the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each of them took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields which had belonged to King David, (J)that were in the temple of the Lord. 11 Then the escorts stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, all around the king, from the right [f]side of the temple to the left side of the temple, by the altar and the house. 12 And he brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, and gave him the (K)Testimony;[g] they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, (L)“Long live the king!”
Death of Athaliah(M)
13 (N)Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the escorts and the people, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord. 14 When she looked, there was the king standing by (O)a pillar according to custom; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. So Athaliah tore her clothes and cried out, “Treason! Treason!”
15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said to them, “Take her outside [h]under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of the Lord.” 16 So they seized her; and she went by way of the horses’ entrance into the king’s house, and there she was killed.
17 (P)Then Jehoiada (Q)made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people, and also (R)between the king and the people. 18 And all the people of the land went to the (S)temple of Baal, and tore it down. They thoroughly (T)broke in pieces its altars and [i]images, and (U)killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And (V)the priest appointed [j]officers over the house of the Lord. 19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, the bodyguards, the escorts, and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and went by way of the gate of the escorts to the king’s house. Then he sat on the throne of the kings. 20 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword in the king’s house. 21 Jehoash was (W)seven years old when he became king.
