Chapter 11.

00:02.220 --> 00:07.740
And when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah,
saw that her son was dead, she arose and

00:07.740 --> 00:09.480
destroyed all the seed royal.

00:10.220 --> 00:14.320
But Jehoshaba, the daughter of King Joram,
sister of Ahaziah, took Joash,

00:14.420 --> 00:18.380
the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from
among the king's sons which was slain.

00:19.140 --> 00:23.000
And they hid him, even him and his nurse,
in the bedchamber from Athaliah,

00:23.340 --> 00:24.400
so that he was not slain.

00:25.120 --> 00:29.560
And he was with her hid in the house of
the Lord six years, and Athaliah did reign

00:29.560 --> 00:30.340
over the land.

00:30.920 --> 00:35.380
And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and
fetched the rulers over hundreds with the

00:35.380 --> 00:38.580
captains and the guard, and brought them
to him into the house of the Lord,

00:38.940 --> 00:42.360
and made a covenant with them,
and took an oath of them in the house of

00:42.360 --> 00:44.560
the Lord, and showed them the king's son.

00:45.180 --> 00:48.740
And he commanded them, saying,
This is the thing that ye shall do.

00:49.380 --> 00:53.340
A third part of you that enter in on the
Sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch

00:53.340 --> 00:54.200
of the king's house.

00:54.440 --> 00:58.880
And a third part shall be at the gate of
Sur, and a third part at the gate behind

00:58.880 --> 00:59.300
the guard.

00:59.820 --> 01:03.400
So shall ye keep the watch of the house,
that it be not broken down.

01:03.900 --> 01:08.000
And two parts of all you that go forth on
the Sabbath, even they shall keep the

01:08.000 --> 01:09.700
watch of the house of the Lord about the
king.

01:10.260 --> 01:15.040
And ye shall compass the king round about,
every man with his weapons in his hand.

01:15.460 --> 01:18.700
And he that cometh within the ranges,
let him be slain.

01:19.140 --> 01:22.700
And be ye with the king as he goeth out
and as he cometh in.

01:23.220 --> 01:27.400
And the captains over the hundreds did
according to all things that Jehoiada the

01:27.400 --> 01:28.080
priest commanded.

01:29.060 --> 01:33.700
And they took every man his men that were
to come in on the Sabbath, with them that

01:33.700 --> 01:36.920
should go out on the Sabbath, and came to
Jehoiada the priest.

01:37.460 --> 01:41.360
And to the captains over hundreds did the
priest give King David's spears and

01:41.360 --> 01:43.580
shields that were in the temple of the
Lord.

01:44.020 --> 01:49.320
And the guard stood, every man with his
weapons in his hand, round about the king,

01:49.720 --> 01:54.020
from the right corner of the temple to the
left corner of the temple, along by the

01:54.020 --> 01:54.880
altar and the temple.

01:55.540 --> 01:59.740
And he brought forth the king's son,
and put the crown upon him, and gave him

01:59.740 --> 02:00.220
the testimony.

02:01.220 --> 02:03.440
And they made him king and anointed him.

02:04.060 --> 02:07.380
And they clapped their hands and said,
God save the king.

02:07.760 --> 02:12.000
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the
guard and of the people, she came to the

02:12.000 --> 02:13.500
people into the temple of the Lord.

02:14.020 --> 02:18.460
And when she looked, behold, the king
stood by a pillar, as the manna was.

02:19.060 --> 02:21.040
And the princes and the trumpeters by the
king.

02:21.700 --> 02:25.080
And all the people of the land rejoiced
and blew with trumpets.

02:25.840 --> 02:29.140
And Athaliah rent her clothes and cried,
Treason!

02:29.700 --> 02:30.180
Treason!

02:30.900 --> 02:35.420
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the
captains of the hundreds, the officers of

02:35.420 --> 02:39.640
the host, and said unto them, Have her
forth without the rangers, and him that

02:39.640 --> 02:41.460
followeth her, kill with the sword.

02:42.020 --> 02:45.280
For the priest had said, Let her not be
slain in the house of the Lord.

02:45.600 --> 02:46.740
And they laid hands on her.

02:47.380 --> 02:50.940
And she went by the way by the which the
horses came into the king's house.

02:51.600 --> 02:53.220
And there was she slain.

02:54.720 --> 02:58.320
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the
Lord and the king and the people,

02:59.060 --> 03:03.320
that they should be the Lord's people,
between the king also and the people.

03:04.060 --> 03:08.040
And all the people of the land went into
the house of Baal and break it down.

03:08.700 --> 03:11.300
His altars and his images break they in
pieces thoroughly.

03:12.520 --> 03:15.600
And slew Mattan the priest of Baal before
the altars.

03:16.140 --> 03:18.840
And the priest appointed officers over the
house of the Lord.

03:19.320 --> 03:23.440
And he took the rulers over hundreds and
the captains and the guard and all the

03:23.440 --> 03:24.260
people of the land.

03:24.840 --> 03:28.980
And they brought down the king from the
house of the Lord and came by the way of

03:28.980 --> 03:30.880
the gate of the guard to the king's house.

03:31.400 --> 03:33.040
And he sat on the throne of the kings.

03:33.800 --> 03:37.780
And all the people of the land rejoiced
and the city was in quiet.

03:37.780 --> 03:42.420
And they slew Athaliah with the sword
beside the king's house.

03:43.780 --> 03:46.480
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began
to reign.
