Chapter 23
And
in
the
seuenth
yeere
Iehoiada
strengthened
himselfe,
and
tooke
the
captaines
of
hundreds,
Azariah
the
sonne
of
Ieroham,
and
Ishmael
the
sonne
of
Iehohanan,
and
Azariah
the
sonne
of
Obed,
and
Maasiah
the
sonne
of
Adaiah,
and
Elishaphat
the
sonne
of
Zichri,
into
couenant
with
him.
2
And
they
went
about
in
Iudah,
and
gathered
the
Leuites
out
of
all
the
cities
of
Iudah,
and
the
chiefe
of
the
fathers
of
Israel,
and
they
came
to
Ierusalem.
3
And
all
the
Congregation
made
a
couenant
with
the
king
in
the
house
of
God:
and
he
said
vnto
them,
Beholde,
the
kings
sonne
shall
reigne,
as
the
Lord
hath
said
of
the
sonnes
of
Dauid.
4
This
is
the
thing
that
yee
shall
doe,
A
third
part
of
you
entring
on
the
Sabbath,
of
the
priests
and
of
the
Leuites,
shalbe
porters
of
the
doores.
5
And
a
thirde
part
shall
bee
at
the
kings
house,
and
a
third
part
at
the
gate
of
the
foundation:
and
all
the
people
shall
be
in
the
Courts
of
the
house
of
the
Lord.
6
But
let
none
come
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
saue
the
Priests,
&
they
that
minister
of
the
Leuites,
they
shall
go
in,
for
they
are
holy:
but
all
the
people
shall
keepe
the
watch
of
the
Lord.
7
And
the
Leuites
shall
compasse
the
king
round
about,
euery
man
with
his
weapons
in
his
hand,
and
whosoeuer
else
commeth
into
the
house,
hee
shalbe
put
to
death:
but
be
you
with
the
King
when
he
commeth
in,
and
when
he
goeth
out.
8
So
the
Leuites
and
all
Iudah
did
according
to
all
things
that
Iehoiada
the
Priest
had
commanded:
and
tooke
euery
man
his
men
that
were
to
come
in
on
the
Sabbath,
with
them
that
were
to
goe
out
on
the
Sabbath:
for
Iehoiada
the
Priest
dismissed
not
the
courses.
9
Moreouer,
Iehoiada
the
Priest
deliuered
to
the
captaines
of
hundreds,
speares
and
bucklers,
and
shields,
that
had
bene
King
Dauids,
which
were
in
the
house
of
God.
10
And
hee
set
all
the
people
(euery
man
hauing
his
weapon
in
his
hand)
from
the
right
side
of
the
Temple,
to
the
left
side
of
the
Temple,
along
by
the
Altar
and
the
Temple,
by
the
King,
round
about.
11
Then
they
brought
out
the
kings
sonne,
and
put
vpon
him
the
Crowne,
and
gaue
him
the
Testimony,
and
made
him
King:
and
Iehoiada
and
his
sonnes
anointed
him,
and
said,
God
saue
the
King.
12
Now
when
Athaliah
heard
the
noise
of
the
people
running
and
praising
the
King;
she
came
to
the
people
into
the
house
of
the
Lord.
13
And
she
looked,
and
behold,
the
king
stood
at
his
pillar,
at
the
entring
in,
and
the
Princes,
and
the
trumpets
by
the
King:
and
all
the
people
of
the
land
reioyced,
and
sounded
with
trumpets;
also
the
singers
with
instruments
of
musicke;
and
such
as
taught
to
sing
praise.
Then
Athaliah
rent
her
clothes,
and
said,
Treason,
treason.
14
Then
Iehoiada
the
Priest
brought
out
the
captaines
of
hundreds,
that
were
set
ouer
the
host,
and
said
vnto
them,
Haue
her
foorth
of
the
ranges:
and
who
so
followeth
her,
let
him
bee
slaine
with
the
sword.
For
the
Priest
said;
Slay
her
not
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
15
So
they
layd
handes
on
her,
and
when
shee
was
come
to
the
entring
of
the
horse
gate,
by
the
kings
house,
they
slew
her
there.
16
And
Iehoiada
made
a
couenant
betweene
him,
and
betweene
all
the
people,
and
betweene
the
king,
that
they
should
be
the
Lords
people.
17
Then
all
the
people
went
to
the
house
of
Baal,
and
brake
it
downe,
and
brake
his
altars
and
his
images
in
pieces,
and
slew
Mattan
the
priest
of
Baal
before
the
altars.
18
Also
Iehoiada
appointed
the
offices
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
by
the
hand
of
the
Priests
the
Leuites,
whom
Dauid
had
distributed
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
to
offer
the
burnt
offrings
of
the
Lord,
as
it
is
written
in
the
Law
of
Moses,
with
reioycing
and
with
singing,
as
it
was
ordeined
by
Dauid.
19
And
he
set
the
porters
at
the
gates
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
that
none
which
was
vncleane
in
any
thing,
should
enter
in.
20
And
hee
tooke
the
captaines
of
hundreds,
and
the
nobles,
and
the
gouernours
of
the
people,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land,
and
brought
downe
the
king
from
the
house
of
the
Lord:
and
they
came
through
the
high
gate
into
the
kings
house,
and
set
the
king
vpon
the
throne
of
the
kingdome.
21
And
all
the
people
of
the
land
reioyced,
and
the
city
was
quiet,
after
that
they
had
slaine
Athaliah
wt
the
sword.
