them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This [is] the thing

A third part
<07992>

of you that enter in
<0935> (8802)

on the sabbath
<07676>

shall even be keepers
<08104> (8802)

and a third part
<07992>

at the gate
<08179>

behind
<0310>

the guard
<07323> (8801)_:

so shall ye keep
<08104> (8804)

the watch
<04931>

of the house
<01004>_,

that it be not broken down
<04535>_.

And two
<08147>

parts
<03027>

of all you that go forth

even they shall keep
<08104> (8804)

the watch
<04931>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD

<04428>

round about

with his weapons
<03627>

in his hand
<03027>_:

and he that cometh
<0935> (8802)

within the ranges
<07713>_,

let him be slain
<04191> (8714)_:

and be ye with the king

as he goeth out
<03318> (8800)

and as he cometh in

<08269>

over the hundreds
<03967>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to all [things] that Jehoiada

the priest
<03548>

every man
<0376>

his men
<0582>

that were to come in
<0935> (8802)

on the sabbath
<07676>_,

with them that should go out
<03318> (8802)

on the sabbath
<07676>_,

<0935> (8799)

to Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest

in his hand
<03027>_,

round about
<05439>

<03318> (8686)

the king's
<04428>

the crown
<05145>

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

and they made him king
<04427> (8686)_,

and anointed
<04886> (8799)

him; and they clapped

their hands

into the temple
<01004>

of the LORD

<07200> (8799)_,

behold, the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by a pillar

as the manner

[was], and the princes
<08269>

and the trumpeters
<02689>

by the king
<04428>_,

and all the people

of the land
<0776>

rejoiced
<08056>_,

and blew
<08628> (8802)

with trumpets
<02689>_:

and Athaliah
<06271>

rent
<07167> (8799)

her clothes
<0899>_,

and cried
