RF KI2 11:1 (B.C. 884.) Queen Athaliah of Israel Murders the Royal Family—except one Boy.
When Athaliah the mother of Akhaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed the whole of the Royal Family.
RF KI2 11:2 Jhosheba, the daughter of King Joram, however, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Akhaziah and stole him from among the children of the king who were being murdered, and nursed him in a secret chamber, and concealed him from the sight of Athaliah, so he was not killed.
RF KI2 11:3 He was afterwards hidden with her in the House of the EVER-LIVING for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the country.
RF KI2 11:4 Jhoiada the High Priest dethrones and kills Athaliah.
But in the seventh year Jhoiada sent and invited the Captains of the Guards, and Infantry, and brought them to him in the House of the EVER-LIVING, and showed them the son of the king,
RF KI2 11:5 and instructed them saying, "This is what you must do three days hence. Come on the Sabbath and fix the Guards to guard the king's palace,
RF KI2 11:6 and relieve the Guards at the gate, and dismiss the Officers at the first gate, and yourselves remain to guard the Temple from being entered.
RF KI2 11:7 And let half of your troops come every Sabbath, and stand as a guard to keep the Temple of the EVER-LIVING for the king,
RF KI2 11:8 and form yourselves around the king each with his arms in his hands, and if any refuses, let him be killed. You must also attend the king wherever he goes."
RF KI2 11:9 The Captains of the Companies accordingly did all that Jhoiada the Priest commanded, and taking each his men, came on the Sabbath. When they arrived on the Sabbath, they came to Jhoiada the priest,
RF KI2 11:10 and the priest gave to the Captains of the Companies the spears, and shields, which since the time of King David had been in the Temple of the EVER-LIVING,
RF KI2 11:11 and the Infantry were posted each with his arms in his hands at the right side of the Temple—and at the left side of the Temple—towards the altar—and towards the Royal Palace, all round.
RF KI2 11:12 Then he brought out the son of the king, and put to him the Declaration, and the Constitution, and crowned him, and consecrated him, when they clapped hands and shouted, "Long live the King!"
RF KI2 11:13 But Athaliah heard the shout of the troops and crowd, and went to the crowd in the Temple of the EVER-LIVING,
RF KI2 11:14 and looked, and saw the king standing by on a platform like a judge, and the Captains and the Courtiers of the king, and many people of the country besides, who applauded with the Courtiers. Then Athaliah tore her robes and shouted Treason! Treason!"
RF KI2 11:15 But Jhoiada the priest commanded the Captains of the Guards and Officers of the army, saying to them: "Take her out of the Temple to the colonnade, and bring her to death by the sword. But," said the Priest, "kill her not in the House of the EVER-LIVING."
RF KI2 11:16 They consequently laid hands on her and brought her to the gangway of the cavalry barracks of the king, and killed her there.
RF KI2 11:17 (B.C. 878.) Jhoash crowned king of Judah.
Jhoiada next read the Covenant between the EVER-LIVING and the king, and the people, which was to be maintained by the people towards the EVER-LIVING, and between the King and the people.
RF KI2 11:18 The Representatives of the country went afterwards to the Temple of Bal and threw down his altar, and smashed his image with delight, and killed Mattan the priest of Bal before his altar, and appointed a priest from the orders of the Temple of the EVER-LIVING.
RF KI2 11:19 He then collected the Captains of the Guards, and the body-guard, and the Courtiers, and Representatives of the country, and brought the king down from the Temple of the EVER-LIVING, and conducted him by way of the Infantry Gate to the Royal Palace, and set him upon the Royal throne.
RF KI2 11:20 All the Representatives of the country rejoiced, and the City was content, when they had killed Athaliah by the sword at the Royal Palace.
RF KI2 11:21 Jhoash was seven years old when he was crowned.
