2 Chronicles 23

KJV

1  And in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and took^{3947 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jeroham,³³⁹⁵ and Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehohanan,³⁰⁷⁶ and Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Obed,⁵⁷⁴⁴ and Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Adaiah,⁵⁷¹⁸ and Elishaphat⁴⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ into covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

2  And they went about⁵⁴³⁷ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and gathered^{6908 853} the Levites³⁸⁸¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

3  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰ And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son¹¹²¹ shall reign,⁴⁴²⁷ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of David.¹⁷³²

4  This²⁰⁸⁸ is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ ye shall do;⁶²¹³ A third part⁷⁹⁹² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you entering⁹³⁵ on the sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ shall be porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ of the doors;⁵⁵⁹²

5  And a third part⁷⁹⁹² shall be at the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and a third part⁷⁹⁹² at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the foundation:³²⁴⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall be in the courts²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  But let none⁴⁰⁸ come⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ save^{3588 518} the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and they that minister⁸³³⁴ of the Levites;³⁸⁸¹ they¹⁹⁹² shall go in,⁹³⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are holy:⁶⁹⁴⁴ but all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the watch⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall compass^{5362 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ every man³⁷⁶ with his weapons³⁶²⁷ in his hand;³⁰²⁷ and whosoever else cometh⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he shall be put to death:⁴¹⁹¹ but be¹⁹⁶¹ ye with⁸⁵⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ when he cometh in,⁹³⁵ and when he goeth out.³³¹⁸

8  So the Levites³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ did⁶²¹³ according to all things³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ had commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ and took³⁹⁴⁷ every man^{376 853} his men³⁷⁶ that were to come in⁹³⁵ on the sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ them that were to go³³¹⁸ out on the sabbath:⁷⁶⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ dismissed⁶³⁶² not^{3808 853} the courses.⁴²⁵⁶

9  Moreover Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds^{3967 853} spears,²⁵⁹⁵ and bucklers,⁴⁰⁴³ and shields,⁷⁹⁸² that⁸³⁴ had been king⁴⁴²⁸ David's,¹⁷³² which⁸³⁴ were in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

10  And he set^{5975 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ every man³⁷⁶ having his weapon⁷⁹⁷³ in his hand,³⁰²⁷ from the right³²³³ side^{4480 3802} of the temple¹⁰⁰⁴ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the left⁸⁰⁴² side³⁸⁰² of the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ along by the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ and the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

11  Then they brought out^{3318 853} the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son,¹¹²¹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ him ⁸⁵³ the crown,⁵¹⁴⁵ and gave him the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ and made him king.^{4427 853} And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ and his sons¹¹²¹ anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ God save²⁴²¹ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

12  Now when Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ heard^{8085 853} the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ running⁷³²³ and praising^{1984 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ she came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸

13  And she looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at⁵⁹²¹ his pillar⁵⁹⁸² at the entering in,³⁹⁹⁶ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ by⁵⁹²¹ the king:⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ rejoiced,⁸⁰⁵⁶ and sounded⁸⁶²⁸ with trumpets,²⁶⁸⁹ also the singers⁷⁸⁹¹ with instruments³⁶²⁷ of music,⁷⁸⁹² and such as taught³⁰⁴⁵ to sing praise.¹⁹⁸⁴ Then Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ rent^{7167 853} her clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Treason,⁷¹⁹⁵ Treason.⁷¹⁹⁵

14  Then Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ brought out^{3318 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds³⁹⁶⁷ that were set over⁶⁴⁸⁵ the host,²⁴²⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Have her forth³³¹⁸ of the ranges:^{413 4480 1004 7713} and whoso followeth^{935 310} her, let him be slain⁴¹⁹¹ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹ For³⁵⁸⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Slay⁴¹⁹¹ her not³⁸⁰⁸ in the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  So they laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ hands³⁰²⁷ on her; and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the entering³⁹⁹⁶ of the horse⁵⁴⁸³ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ by the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ they slew⁴¹⁹¹ her there.⁸⁰³³

16  And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ him, and between⁹⁹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and between⁹⁹⁶ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ that they should be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

17  Then all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went to⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and broke it down,⁵⁴²² and broke his altars⁴¹⁹⁶ and his images⁶⁷⁵⁴ in pieces,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and slew²⁰²⁶ Mattan⁴⁹⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altars.⁴¹⁹⁶

18  Also Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ appointed⁷⁷⁶⁰ the offices⁶⁴⁸⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ whom⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² had distributed²⁵⁰⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to offer⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² with rejoicing⁸⁰⁵⁷ and with singing,⁷⁸⁹² as it was ordained by^{5921 3027} David.¹⁷³²

19  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ at⁵⁹²¹ the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that none³⁸⁰⁸ which was unclean²⁹³¹ in any³⁶⁰⁵ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ should enter in.⁹³⁵

20  And he took^{3947 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and the nobles,¹¹⁷ and the governors⁴⁹¹⁰ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ and brought down^{3381 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ from the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ through⁸⁴³² the high⁵⁹⁴⁵ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and set^{3427 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of the kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

21  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ rejoiced:⁸⁰⁵⁵ and the city⁵⁸⁹² was quiet,⁸²⁵² after that they had slain⁴¹⁹¹ Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

1 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἐκραταίωσεν Ιωδαε καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους τὸν Αζαριαν υἱὸν Ιωραμ καὶ τὸν Ισμαηλ υἱὸν Ιωαναν καὶ τὸν Αζαριαν υἱὸν Ωβηδ καὶ τὸν Μαασαιαν υἱὸν Αδαια καὶ τὸν Ελισαφαν υἱὸν Ζαχαρια μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς οἶκον

2 καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν τὸν Ιουδαν καὶ συνήγαγον τοὺς Λευίτας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ιουδα καὶ ἄρχοντας πατριῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

3 καὶ διέθεντο πᾶσα ἐκκλησία Ιουδα διαθήκην ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως βασιλευσάτω καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυιδ

4 νῦν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν ποιήσετε τὸ τρίτον ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰσπορευέσθωσαν τὸ σάββατον τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰς πύλας τῶν εἰσόδων

5 καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου

6 καὶ μὴ εἰσελθέτω εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ἐὰν μὴ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῶν Λευιτῶν αὐτοὶ εἰσελεύσονται ὅτι ἅγιοί εἰσιν καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς φυλασσέτω φυλακὰς κυρίου

7 καὶ κυκλώσουσιν οἱ Λευῖται τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ ἀνδρὸς σκεῦος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς τὸν οἶκον ἀποθανεῖται καὶ ἔσονται μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως εἰσπορευομένου καὶ ἐκπορευομένου

8 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ Λευῖται καὶ πᾶς Ιουδα κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Ιωδαε ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ ἔλαβον ἕκαστος τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς τοῦ σαββάτου ἕως ἐξόδου τοῦ σαββάτου ὅτι οὐ κατέλυσεν Ιωδαε τὰς ἐφημερίας

9 καὶ ἔδωκεν τὰς μαχαίρας καὶ τοὺς θυρεοὺς καὶ τὰ ὅπλα ἃ ἦν τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυιδ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ

10 καὶ ἔστησεν πάντα τὸν λαόν ἕκαστον ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου τῆς δεξιᾶς ἕως τῆς ὠμίας τῆς ἀριστερᾶς τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ

11 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸ βασίλειον καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν Ιωδαε καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς

12 καὶ ἤκουσεν Γοθολια τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν τρεχόντων καὶ ἐξομολογουμένων καὶ αἰνούντων τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου

13 καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τῆς στάσεως αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες περὶ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ηὐφράνθη καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ἐν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ οἱ ᾄδοντες ἐν τοῖς ὀργάνοις ᾠδοὶ καὶ ὑμνοῦντες αἶνον καὶ διέρρηξεν Γοθολια τὴν στολὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐβόησεν καὶ εἶπεν ἐπιτιθέμενοι ἐπιτίθεσθε

14 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ιωδαε ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ιωδαε ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχοις καὶ τοῖς ἀρχηγοῖς τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐκβάλετε αὐτὴν ἐκτὸς τοῦ οἴκου καὶ εἰσέλθατε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς καὶ ἀποθανέτω μαχαίρᾳ ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεύς μὴ ἀποθανέτω ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

15 καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτῇ ἄνεσιν καὶ διῆλθεν διὰ τῆς πύλης τῶν ἱππέων τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ

16 καὶ διέθετο Ιωδαε διαθήκην ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τοῦ βασιλέως εἶναι λαὸν τῷ κυρίῳ

17 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς εἰς οἶκον Βααλ καὶ κατέσπασαν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτοῦ ἐλέπτυναν καὶ τὸν Ματθαν ἱερέα τῆς Βααλ ἐθανάτωσαν ἐναντίον τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτοῦ

18 καὶ ἐνεχείρησεν Ιωδαε ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰ ἔργα οἴκου κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς ἱερέων καὶ Λευιτῶν καὶ ἀνέστησεν τὰς ἐφημερίας τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν ἃς διέστειλεν Δαυιδ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ ἀνενέγκαι ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν νόμῳ Μωυσῆ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς διὰ χειρὸς Δαυιδ

19 καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ πυλωροὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας οἴκου κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται ἀκάθαρτος εἰς πᾶν πρᾶγμα

20 καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς πατριάρχας καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀνεβίβασαν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν διὰ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἐσωτέρας εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐκάθισαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τῆς βασιλείας

21 καὶ ηὐφράνθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς καὶ ἡ πόλις ἡσύχασεν καὶ τὴν Γοθολιαν ἐθανάτωσαν μαχαίρᾳ

1 Anno autem septimo, confortatus Jojada, assumpsit centuriones, Azariam videlicet filium Jeroham, et Ismahel filium Johanan, Azariam quoque filium Obed, et Maasiam filium Adaiæ, et Elisaphat filium Zechri: et iniit cum eis fœdus.

2 Qui circumeuntes Judam, congregaverunt Levitas de cunctis urbibus Juda, et principes familiarum Israël, veneruntque in Jerusalem.

3 Iniit ergo omnis multitudo pactum in domo Dei cum rege, dixitque ad eos Jojada: Ecce filius regis regnabit, sicut locutus est Dominus super filios David.

4 Iste est ergo sermo quem facietis:

5 tertia pars vestrum qui veniunt ad sabbatum, sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et janitorum erit in portis: tertia vero pars ad domum regis: et tertia ad portam quæ appellatur Fundamenti: omne vero reliquum vulgus sit in atriis domus Domini.

6 Nec quispiam alius ingrediatur domum Domini, nisi sacerdotes, et qui ministrant de Levitis: ipsi tantummodo ingrediantur, quia sanctificati sunt: et omne reliquum vulgus observet custodias Domini.

7 Levitæ autem circumdent regem, habentes singuli arma sua (et siquis alius ingressus fuerit templum, interficiatur), sintque cum rege et intrante et egrediente.

8 Fecerunt ergo Levitæ, et universus Juda, juxta omnia quæ præceperat Jojada pontifex: et assumpserunt singuli viros qui sub se erant, et veniebant per ordinem sabbati, cum his qui impleverant sabbatum et egressuri erant: siquidem Jojada pontifex non dimiserat abire turmas quæ sibi per singulas hebdomadas succedere consueverant.

9 Deditque Jojada sacerdos centurionibus lanceas, clypeosque et peltas regis David, quas consecraverat in domo Domini.

10 Constituitque omnem populum tenentium pugiones a parte templi dextra, usque ad partem templi sinistram, coram altari et templo, per circuitum regis.

11 Et eduxerunt filium regis, et imposuerunt ei diadema et testimonium, dederuntque in manu ejus tenendam legem, et constituerunt eum regem: unxit quoque illum Jojada pontifex, et filii ejus: imprecatique sunt ei, atque dixerunt: Vivat rex.

12 Quod cum audisset Athalia, vocem scilicet currentium atque laudantium regem, ingressa est ad populum in templum Domini.

13 Cumque vidisset regem stantem super gradum in introitu, et principes, turmasque circa eum, omnemque populum terræ gaudentem, atque clangentem tubis, et diversi generis organis concinentem, vocemque laudantium, scidit vestimenta sua, et ait: Insidiæ, insidiæ.

14 Egressus autem Jojada pontifex ad centuriones et principes exercitus, dixit eis: Educite illam extra septa templi, et interficiatur foris gladio. Præcepitque sacerdos ne occideretur in domo Domini,

15 et imposuerunt cervicibus ejus manus: cumque intrasset portam equorum domus regis, interfecerunt eam ibi.

16 Pepigit autem Jojada fœdus inter se, universumque populum, et regem, ut esset populus Domini.

17 Itaque ingressus est omnis populus domum Baal, et destruxerunt eam, et altaria ac simulacra illius confregerunt: Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal interfecerunt ante aras.

18 Constituit autem Jojada præpositos in domo Domini sub manibus sacerdotum et Levitarum quos distribuit David in domo Domini, ut offerrent holocausta Domino, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi, in gaudio et canticis, juxta dispositionem David.

19 Constituit quoque janitores in portis domus Domini, ut non ingrederetur eam immundus in omni re.

20 Assumpsitque centuriones, et fortissimos viros, ac principes populi, et omne vulgus terræ, et fecerunt descendere regem de domo Domini, et introire per medium portæ superioris in domum regis, et collocaverunt eum in solio regali.

21 Lætatusque est omnis populus terræ, et urbs quievit: porro Athalia interfecta est gladio.
