23:7

And the Levites
<03881>

shall compass
<05362> (8689)

the king
<04428>

round about
<05439>_,

every man
<0376>

with his weapons
<03627>

in his hand
<03027>_;

and whosoever [else] cometh
<0935> (8802)

into the house
<01004>_,

he shall be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

but be ye with the king
<04428>

when he cometh in
<0935> (8800)_,

and when he goeth out
<03318> (8800)_.

23:8

So the Levites
<03881>

and all Judah
<03063>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to all things that Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his men
<0582>

that were to come in
<0935> (8802)

on the sabbath
<07676>_,

with them that were to go
<03318> (8802)

[out] on the sabbath
<07676>_:

for Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>

dismissed
<06358> (8804)

not the courses
<04256>_.

23:9

Moreover Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

to the captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>

spears
<02595>_,

and bucklers
<04043>_,

and shields
<07982>_,

that [had been] king
<04428>

David's
<01732>_,

which [were] in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

23:10

And he set
<05975> (8686)

all the people
<05971>_,

every man
<0376>

having his weapon
<07973>

in his hand
<03027>_,

from the right
<03233>

side
<03802>

of the temple
<01004>

to the left
<08042>

side
<03802>

of the temple
<01004>_,

along by the altar
<04196>

and the temple
<01004>_,

by the king
<04428>

round about
<05439>_.

{side: Heb. shoulder} {temple: Heb. house}

23:11

Then they brought out
<03318> (8686)

the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

upon him the crown
<05145>_,

and [gave him] the testimony
<05715>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)_.

And Jehoiada
<03077>

and his sons
<01121>

anointed
<04886> (8799)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

the king
<04428>_.

{God...: Heb. Let the king live}

23:12

Now when Athaliah
<06271>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the noise
<06963>

of the people
<05971>

running
<07323> (8801)

and praising
<01984> (8764)

the king
<04428>_,

she came
<0935> (8799)

to the people
<05971>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

23:13

And she looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8802)

at his pillar
<05982>

at the entering in
<03996>_,

and the princes
<08269>

and the trumpets
<02689>

by the king
<04428>_:

and all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

rejoiced
<08056>_,

and sounded
<08628> (8802)

with trumpets
<02689>_,

also the singers
<07891> (8789)

with instruments
<03627>

of musick
<07892>_,

and such as taught
<03045> (8688)

to sing praise
<01984> (8763)_.

Then Athaliah
<06271>

rent
<07167> (8799)

her clothes
<0899>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Treason
<07195>_,

Treason
<07195>_.

{Treason: Heb. Conspiracy}

23:14

Then Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>

brought out
<03318> (8686)

the captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>

that were set over
<06485> (8803)

the host
<02428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Have her forth
<03318> (8685)

of the ranges
<01004> <07713>_:

and whoso followeth
<0935> (8802) <0310>

her, let him be slain
<04191> (8714)

with the sword
<02719>_.

For the priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Slay
<04191> (8686)

her not in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

23:15

So they laid
<07760> (8799)

hands
<03027>

on her; and when she was come
<0935> (8799)

to the entering
<03996>

of the horse
<05483>

gate
<08179>

by the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

they slew
<04191> (8686)

her there.

23:16

And Jehoiada
<03077>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

between him, and between all the people
<05971>_,

and between the king
<04428>_,

that they should be the LORD'S
<03068>

people
<05971>_.

23:17

Then all the people
<05971>

went
<0935> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and brake it down
<05422> (8799)_,

and brake
<07665> (0)

his altars
<04196>

and his images
<06754>

in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,

and slew
<02026> (8804)

Mattan
<04977>

the priest
<03548>

of Baal
<01168>

before
<06440>

the altars
<04196>_.

23:18

Also Jehoiada
<03077>

appointed
<07760> (8799)

the offices
<06486>

<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

by the hand
<03027>

of the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>_,

whom David
<01732>

had distributed
<02505> (8804)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to offer
<05927> (8687)

the burnt offerings
<05930>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

with rejoicing
<08057>

and with singing
<07892>_,

[as it was ordained] by
<03027>

David
<01732>_.

{as it was...: Heb. by the hands of David}

23:19

And he set
<05975> (8686)

the porters
<07778>

at the gates
<08179>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that none [which was] unclean
<02931>

in any thing
<01697>

should enter in
<0935> (8799)_.

23:20

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

and the nobles
<0117>_,

and the governors
<04910> (8802)

of the people
<05971>_,

and all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

and brought down
<03381> (8686)

the king
<04428>

from the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

through
<08432>

the high
<05945>

gate
<08179>

into the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and set
<03427> (8686)

the king
<04428>

upon the throne
<03678>

of the kingdom
<04467>_.

23:21

And all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_:

and the city
<05892>

was quiet
<08252> (8804)_,

after that they had slain
<04191> (8689)

Athaliah
<06271>

with the sword
<02719>_.
