raél to_sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth-él, and that were in Dan.
80 And Jthe Lorp said unto Jehu, “Because thou -hast_done_well in exe- cuting that which is xright in Mine eyes, and hast_done unto the_house_ of Ahab according_to all that was in Mine heart, thy s children_of the fourth generation shall_sit on the_throne_of Israél.”
81 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the_law_of Jthe Lorp =God_of Israél with all his heart : for he departed not from the_sins_of Jeroboam, which made -Israél to_sin.
*2 In xthose xdays ! the Lorp began to cut Israél short: and Hazaél smote them in all the_? coasts_of Israél ;
3 From xJordan ¢ eastward, land_of xGilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even xGilead and xBashan.
34 Now the_rest_of the_acts_of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are thep not written in the_book_of the chronicles of the_kings_of Israél?
% And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And j Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
86 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israél in Samaria was twenty and
eight years.
1 1 AND when Athaliah the_mother_ of Ahaziah saw that her son was_
dead, she arose and destroyed all the
seed xroyal.
2 But j Jehosheba, the_daughter_of xking Joram, sister_of Ahaziah, took jo-Joash the_son_of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons which were x-slain; and they hid him, even him and his -nurse, in the bedchamber Bont aAthaliah, so_that he was not slain.
3 And he was with her hid in the_| ga
house_of Jthe Lorp six years. And Athaliah did_reign over the land.
+ And the seventh xyear je Jehoiada sent and fetched -the_rulers over xhun- dreds, with the captains and the ru=guard, and brought them to him
into the_house_of 4 the Lorp, and}/j
emade a covenant with them, and took_an_oath of them in the_house_of ‘the Lorp, and shewed them the king’s son.
5 And he commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that ye shall_.do; A xthird_part of you +that_enter_in on the sabbath -shall even be_keepers of the_watch_of the king’s house;
6 And a xthird_part shall be at the_ gate_of sSur; and @ third_part at the gate behind the ru=guard: so -shall_ ye_keep the_watch_of the house, that_ it_be not broken_down.
7 And two xparts of all you +that_go_ forth on the sabbath, even they -shall_ keep «the_watch_of the_house_of J the Lorp about the king.

® And the captains over the hundreds did according_to all things that Je- hoiada the priest commanded: and they took ‘every_man his « -men +that_ were_to_come-_in on the sabbath, with 4them_that_should_go_out on the sab- bath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give xking David’s sspears and Xshields, that were in the_’temple_ of J the Lorp.
11 And the rv=guard stood, ‘every_ man with his-weapons in his hand, round_about the king, from the right scorner_of the Atemple, to the left scorner of the *temple, along by the altar and the ’ temple.
2 And he brought_forth the king’s -son, and put -the ¢crown upon him, and gave him -the testimony ; and they made him king, and anointed him ; and they clapped their hands, and said, “l'God save the king.”
183 And when Athaliah heard -the_ noise_of the r«=guard and of the peo- ple, she came to the people into the_ htemple_of 4 the Lorp.
14 And when she looked, behold, the king 4stood by a@ xpillar, as the manner was,and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the_people_of the land +rejoiced, and blew with xtrum- pets: and Athaliah rent her «clothes, and cried, “Treason, Treason.”

the_officers_of the host, and said unto them, “-Have her forth without the rranges: and x:him_that followeth her ‘kill with the sword.” For the priest had_said, “'Let her not be_slain in the_ house_of ! the Lorp.”
16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by_the_which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was_she_slain.
17 And Jehoiada made a@ Xcovenant between Jthe Lorp and the king and the people, that they should_be ! the Lorp’s people; between the king also and the people.
18 And all the_people_of the land went into the_house_of Baal, and brake_it_down; his ~altars and his rimages brake _they_in_pieces tho- roughly, and slew ™-Mattan the_priest_ of xBaal before the altars. And the prigat appointed officers over the_
ouse_of ! the Lorp.
19 And he took the rulers_over xhun- dreds, and -the captains, and -the ru=guard, and -all the_people_of the land; and they brought_down -the king
from the_house_of ! the Lorp, and came | it.
by the_way_of the_gate_of the r«=guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the_ throne_of the kings.
20 And all the_people_of the land re- joiced, and the city was in_quiet : and they slew ~Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began_to_reign.
IN the_seyenth year_of Jehu
12 Jehoash began_to_reign; and
forty years reigned he in Jerusalem.
And his mother’s name was = Zibiah of Beer-sheba,
2 And Jehoash did that which was
w HR, xright in the_sight_of J the Lorp all his| ,741;; Gazelle,
days wherein Jehoiada the priest in- structed him.
3 But the high_places were not taken_ away: the people still sacrificed and burnt_incense in the high_places.
* And Jehoash said to the priests, “All the_smoney_of the dedicated_ things that tis_brought into the_ house_of / the Lorp, even the_smoney_

5+Let the priests take it to them, ‘every_man of his -acquaintance : an let them repair ~the_breaches_of the house, wheresoeyer any breach shall_be_ found.”
6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year_of xking Jehoash the priests had not repaired -the_breaches_ of the house.
7 Then xking Jehoash called for Je- hoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, “Why +repair ye not -the_breaches_of the house? now therefore treceive no more s money of your racquaintance, but ‘deliver it for the_breaches_of the house.”
8 And the priests consented to re- ceive no more smoney of the people, neither to repair “the_breaches_of the house.

10 And it was so, when they saw that there was much s xmoney in the chest, that. the king’s scribe and the high xpriest came_up, and they put_up_in_

found in the_house_of ! the Lorp.

17 Then Hazaél king_of Syria 'went_ up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazaél tset his face to go_up to Jerusalem.
18 And Jehoash king_of Judah took rall the hallowed_things that Jehosha- phat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings_of Judah, had_dedicated. and his_own ~hallowed_things, and rall the gold that was found in the_trea- sures_of the_house_of ! the Lorp, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazaél king_of Syria : and he went_away from Jerusalem.
19 And the_rest_of the_acts_of Joash, and all that he did, are thep not writ- ten in the_book_of the chronicles of the_kings_of Judah ?
20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew -Joash in the_ manee-o8 m Millo, which goeth_down to Silla.
21 For Jozachar the_son_of Shi- meath, and Jehozabad the_son_of Sho- mer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the_city_of David: and aAmaziah his son reigned in his stead.
13 IN the_three and twentieth year_ of Joash the_son_of Ahaziah king_of Judah j Jehoahaz the_son_of Jehu began_to_reign over Israel in Sa- maria, and reigned seventeen years.
2 And he did that which was xevil in the_sigbt_of J the Lorp, and followed the_sins_of Jeroboam the_son_of Ne- bat, which made ~Israél to_sin; he de- parted not therefrom.
8 And the_anger_of ‘the Lorp was_ kindled against Israél, and He delivered them into the_hand_of Hazaél king_of Syria, and into the_hand_of Ben-hadad the_son_of Hazaél, all their xdays.
4 And Jehoahaz besought Jethe Lorp, and_!the Lorp hearkened unto him: for He saw -the_oppression_of Israél, because the_king_of Syria oppressed then.
5 (And ‘the Lorp gave Israél a saviour, so that they went_out from under the_hand_of the Syrians: and the_s children_of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
6 Nevertheless they departed not from the_sins_of the_house_of Jero- boam, who made -Israél sin, but walk- ed therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
7 Neither did_he_leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot- men; for the_king_of Syria had_de- stroyed them, and had_made them like the dust by threshing.
8 Now the_rest_of the_acts_of Je- hoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are thep not written in the_book_ of the chronicles of the_kings_of Israél?
