king’s house ; and a@ xthird_part at the_ gate_of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the_courts_of the_ house_of ? the Lorn.
6 But let none come_into the_house_ of Jthe Lorp, save the priests, and xathey _that minister of the Levites; they shall_go_in, for thep are holy : but all the people shall_keep the_watch_of ‘the Lorp.
7 And the Levites shall_compass -the king round _about, tevery_ man with his weapons in his hand ; and x+whoso- ever else cometh into the house, he shall_be_put_to_death: but ‘be ye with the king when he cometh_in, and when he goeth_out.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all_things that Jehoiada the priest had_commanded, and took tevery_man his «-men that were_to_ come_in on the sabbath, with them_ that_were_to_go_out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
2% Moreover Jehoiada the priest de- livered to the_captains_of xhundreds Xspears, and Xbucklers, and xshields, that had been xking David’s, which were in the_house_of x=God.
10 And he set «all the people, ‘every_ man having his weapon in his hand, from the_right sside_of the temple to the left s side_of the ? temple, along by the altar and the ’ temple, by the king round_about.
11 Then they brought. uk the king’s -son, and put upon him and gave him -the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons uointed him, and said, “? God save the
cing.”
12 Now when Athaliah heard the _ noise_of the people xrunning and xpraising «the king, she came to the people into the_house_of J the Lorp :
13 And she looked, and, behold, the king +stood at his pillar at the entering_ in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the_people_of the land rejoiced, and -sounded with xtrumpets, also the singers with ~xin- struments_of. music, and 4such _as_ taught to sing_praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, “Treason, Treason.”
14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought_ out -the_captains_of xhundreds -+that_ were_set_over the Shost, and said unto them, “*Have_her_forth of the~ ranges: and x+whoso followeth her, tlet_him_be_ slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “'Slay her not in the_house_of Jthe Lorn.”
15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was_come to the_entering_of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.
16 And Jehoiada comade a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be ! the Lorn’s people.
17 Then all the people went to the_ house_of xBaal, and brake_it_down, and brake his -altars and his «images in_ pieces, and slew ~Mattan the_priest_of xBaal before the altars.
