2. And they go round about in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come in unto Jerusalem,
|
2. And they went about H5437 in Judah H3063 , and gathered H6908 H853 the Levites H3881 out of all H4480 H3605 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , and the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of Israel H3478 , and they came H935 to H413 Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
3. and all the assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he saith to them, `Lo, the son of the king doth reign, as Jehovah spake concerning the sons of David.
|
3. And all H3605 the congregation H6951 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with H5973 the king H4428 in the house H1004 of God H430 . And he said H559 unto them, Behold H2009 , the king H4428 's son H1121 shall reign H4427 , as H834 the LORD H3068 hath said H1696 of H5921 the sons H1121 of David H1732 .
|
|
4. `This is the thing that ye do: The third of you, going in on the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, are for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
|
4. This H2088 is the thing H1697 that H834 ye shall do H6213 ; A third part H7992 of H4480 you entering H935 on the sabbath H7676 , of the priests H3548 and of the Levites H3881 , shall be porters H7778 of the doors H5592 ;
|
|
5. and the third are at the house of the king, and the third at the gate of the foundation, and all the people are in the courts of the house of Jehovah.
|
5. And a third part H7992 shall be at the king H4428 's house H1004 ; and a third part H7992 at the gate H8179 of the foundation H3247 : and all H3605 the people H5971 shall be in the courts H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
6. `And none doth enter the house of Jehovah except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they are holy), and all the people keep the watch of Jehovah:
|
6. But let none H408 come H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , save H3588 H518 the priests H3548 , and they that minister H8334 of the Levites H3881 ; they H1992 shall go in H935 , for H3588 they H1992 are holy H6944 : but all H3605 the people H5971 shall keep H8104 the watch H4931 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. and the Levites have compassed the king round about, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who hath gone in unto the house is put to death; and be ye with the king in his coming in and in his going out.`
|
7. And the Levites H3881 shall compass H5362 H853 the king H4428 round about H5439 , every man H376 with his weapons H3627 in his hand H3027 ; and whosoever else cometh H935 into H413 the house H1004 , he shall be put to death H4191 : but be H1961 ye with H854 the king H4428 when he cometh in H935 , and when he goeth out H3318 .
|
|
8. And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest hath commanded, and take each his men going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest hath not let away the courses.
|
8. So the Levites H3881 and all H3605 Judah H3063 did H6213 according to all things H3605 that H834 Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 had commanded H6680 , and took H3947 every man H376 H853 his men H376 that were to come in H935 on the sabbath H7676 , with H5973 them that were to go H3318 out on the sabbath H7676 : for H3588 Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 dismissed H6362 not H3808 H853 the courses H4256 .
|
|
9. And Jehoiada the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that are king David`s, that are in the house of God;
|
9. Moreover Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 delivered H5414 to the captains H8269 of hundreds H3967 H853 spears H2595 , and bucklers H4043 , and shields H7982 , that H834 had been king H4428 David H1732 's, which H834 were in the house H1004 of God H430 .
|
|
10. and he stationeth the whole of the people, and each his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, round about.
|
10. And he set H5975 H853 all H3605 the people H5971 , every man H376 having his weapon H7973 in his hand H3027 , from the right H3233 side H4480 H3802 of the temple H1004 to H5704 the left H8042 side H3802 of the temple H1004 , along by the altar H4196 and the temple H1004 , by H5921 the king H4428 round about H5439 .
|
|
11. And they bring out the son of the king, and put upon him the crown, and the testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, `Let the king live!`
|
11. Then they brought out H3318 H853 the king H4428 's son H1121 , and put H5414 upon H5921 him H853 the crown H5145 , and gave him the testimony H5715 , and made him king H4427 H853 . And Jehoiada H3077 and his sons H1121 anointed H4886 him , and said H559 , God save H2421 the king H4428 .
|
|
12. And Athaliah heareth the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she cometh in unto the people in the house of Jehovah,
|
12. Now when Athaliah H6271 heard H8085 H853 the noise H6963 of the people H5971 running H7323 and praising H1984 H853 the king H4428 , she came H935 to H413 the people H5971 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 :
|
|
13. and seeth, and lo, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets are by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and saith, `Conspiracy, conspiracy.`
|
13. And she looked H7200 , and, behold H2009 , the king H4428 stood H5975 at H5921 his pillar H5982 at the entering in H3996 , and the princes H8269 and the trumpets H2689 by H5921 the king H4428 : and all H3605 the people H5971 of the land H776 rejoiced H8056 , and sounded H8628 with trumpets H2689 , also the singers H7891 with instruments H3627 of music H7892 , and such as taught H3045 to sing praise H1984 . Then Athaliah H6271 rent H7167 H853 her clothes H899 , and said H559 , Treason H7195 , Treason H7195 .
|
|
14. And Jehoiada the priest bringeth out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, `Take her out from within the rows, and he who hath gone after her is put to death by the sword;` for the priest said, `Put her not to death in the house of Jehovah.`
|
14. Then Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 brought out H3318 H853 the captains H8269 of hundreds H3967 that were set over H6485 the host H2428 , and said H559 unto H413 them , Have her forth H3318 of the ranges H413 H4480 H1004 H7713 : and whoso followeth H935 H310 her , let him be slain H4191 with the sword H2719 . For H3588 the priest H3548 said H559 , Slay H4191 her not H3808 in the house H4480 H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. And they make for her sides, and she cometh in unto the entrance of the gate of the horses at the house of the king, and they put her to death there.
|
15. So they laid H7760 hands H3027 on her ; and when she was come H935 to H413 the entering H3996 of the horse H5483 gate H8179 by the king H4428 's house H1004 , they slew H4191 her there H8033 .
|
|
16. And Jehoiada maketh a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to Jehovah;
|
16. And Jehoiada H3077 made H3772 a covenant H1285 between H996 him , and between H996 all H3605 the people H5971 , and between H996 the king H4428 , that they should be H1961 the LORD H3068 's people H5971 .
|
|
17. and all the people enter the house of Baal, and break it down, yea, his altars and his images they have broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars.
|
17. Then all H3605 the people H5971 went to H935 the house H1004 of Baal H1168 , and broke it down H5422 , and broke his altars H4196 and his images H6754 in pieces H7665 , and slew H2026 Mattan H4977 the priest H3548 of Baal H1168 before H6440 the altars H4196 .
|
|
18. And Jehoiada putteth the offices of the house of Jehovah into the hand of the priests the Levites whom David had apportioned over the house of Jehovah, to cause to ascend the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as written in the law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David;
|
18. Also Jehoiada H3077 appointed H7760 the offices H6486 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 by the hand H3027 of the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 , whom H834 David H1732 had distributed H2505 in H5921 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , to offer H5927 the burnt offerings H5930 of the LORD H3068 , as it is written H3789 in the law H8451 of Moses H4872 , with rejoicing H8057 and with singing H7892 , as it was ordained by H5921 H3027 David H1732 .
|
|
19. and he stationeth the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of Jehovah, and the unclean in anything doth not go in.
|
19. And he set H5975 the porters H7778 at H5921 the gates H8179 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , that none H3808 which was unclean H2931 in any H3605 thing H1697 should enter in H935 .
|
|
20. And he taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the honourable ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and bringeth down the king from the house of Jehovah, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.
|
20. And he took H3947 H853 the captains H8269 of hundreds H3967 , and the nobles H117 , and the governors H4910 of the people H5971 , and all H3605 the people H5971 of the land H776 , and brought down H3381 H853 the king H4428 from the house H4480 H1004 of the LORD H3068 : and they came H935 through H8432 the high H5945 gate H8179 into the king H4428 's house H1004 , and set H3427 H853 the king H4428 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4467 .
|
|
21. And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city hath been quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword.
|
21. And all H3605 the people H5971 of the land H776 rejoiced H8055 : and the city H5892 was quiet H8252 , after that they had slain H4191 Athaliah H6271 with the sword H2719 .
