11:1 Now
when
Athaliah
the
mother
of
Ahaziah
saw
that
her
son
was
dead,
she
arose
and
destroyed
all
the
royal
family.
11:2 But
Jehosheba,
the
daughter
of
King
Joram,
sister
of
Ahaziah,
took
Joash
the
son
of
Ahaziah
and
stole
him
away
from
among
the
king's
sons
who
were
being
put
to
death,
and
she
put
him
and
his
nurse
in
a
bedroom.
Thus
they
hid
him
from
Athaliah,
so
that
he
was
not
put
to
death.
11:3 And
he
remained
with
her
six
years,
hidden
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
while
Athaliah
reigned
over
the
land.
11:4 But
in
the
seventh
year
Jehoiada
sent
and
brought
the
captains
of
the
Carites
and
of
the
guards,
and
had
them
come
to
him
in
the
house
of
the
LORD.
And
he
made
a
covenant
with
them
and
put
them
under
oath
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
he
showed
them
the
king's
son.
11:5 And
he
commanded
them,
"This
is
the
thing
that
you
shall
do:
one
third
of
you,
those
who
come
off
duty
on
the
Sabbath
and
guard
the
king's
house
11:6 (another
third
being
at
the
gate
Sur
and
a
third
at
the
gate
behind
the
guards)
shall
guard
the
palace.
11:7 And
the
two
divisions
of
you,
which
come
on
duty
in
force
on
the
Sabbath
and
guard
the
house
of
the
LORD
on
behalf
of
the
king,
11:8 shall
surround
the
king,
each
with
his
weapons
in
his
hand.
And
whoever
approaches
the
ranks
is
to
be
put
to
death.
Be
with
the
king
when
he
goes
out
and
when
he
comes
in."
11:9 The
captains
did
according
to
all
that
Jehoiada
the
priest
commanded,
and
they
each
brought
his
men
who
were
to
go
off
duty
on
the
Sabbath,
with
those
who
were
to
come
on
duty
on
the
Sabbath,
and
came
to
Jehoiada
the
priest.
11:10 And
the
priest
gave
to
the
captains
the
spears
and
shields
that
had
been
King
David's,
which
were
in
the
house
of
the
LORD.
11:11 And
the
guards
stood,
every
man
with
his
weapons
in
his
hand,
from
the
south
side
of
the
house
to
the
north
side
of
the
house,
around
the
altar
and
the
house
on
behalf
of
the
king.
11:12 Then
he
brought
out
the
king's
son
and
put
the
crown
on
him
and
gave
him
the
testimony.
And
they
proclaimed
him
king
and
anointed
him,
and
they
clapped
their
hands
and
said,
"Long
live
the
king!"
11:13 When
Athaliah
heard
the
noise
of
the
guard
and
of
the
people,
she
went
into
the
house
of
the
LORD
to
the
people.
11:14 And
when
she
looked,
there
was
the
king
standing
by
the
pillar,
according
to
the
custom,
and
the
captains
and
the
trumpeters
beside
the
king,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land
rejoicing
and
blowing
trumpets.
And
Athaliah
tore
her
clothes
and
cried,
"Treason!
Treason!"
11:15 Then
Jehoiada
the
priest
commanded
the
captains
who
were
set
over
the
army,
"Bring
her
out
between
the
ranks,
and
put
to
death
with
the
sword
anyone
who
follows
her."
For
the
priest
said,
"Let
her
not
be
put
to
death
in
the
house
of
the
LORD."
11:16 So
they
laid
hands
on
her;
and
she
went
through
the
horses'
entrance
to
the
king's
house,
and
there
she
was
put
to
death.
11:17 And
Jehoiada
made
a
covenant
between
the
LORD
and
the
king
and
people,
that
they
should
be
the
LORD's
people,
and
also
between
the
king
and
the
people.
11:18 Then
all
the
people
of
the
land
went
to
the
house
of
Baal
and
tore
it
down;
his
altars
and
his
images
they
broke
in
pieces,
and
they
killed
Mattan
the
priest
of
Baal
before
the
altars.
And
the
priest
posted
watchmen
over
the
house
of
the
LORD.
11:19 And
he
took
the
captains,
the
Carites,
the
guards,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land,
and
they
brought
the
king
down
from
the
house
of
the
LORD,
marching
through
the
gate
of
the
guards
to
the
king's
house.
And
he
took
his
seat
on
the
throne
of
the
kings.
11:20 So
all
the
people
of
the
land
rejoiced,
and
the
city
was
quiet
after
Athaliah
had
been
put
to
death
with
the
sword
at
the
king's
house.
11:21 Jehoash
was
seven
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign.
