00:01.260 --> 00:06.260
Chapter 23 And in the seventh year
Jehoiada strengthened himself,

00:06.740 --> 00:11.340
and took the captains of hundreds,
Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael

00:11.340 --> 00:16.820
the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son
of Obed, and Maaseah the son of Adaiah,

00:17.400 --> 00:20.420
and Elishaphat the son of Zichri,
into covenant with him.

00:20.980 --> 00:24.940
And they went about in Judah, and gathered
the Levites out of all the cities of

00:24.940 --> 00:29.120
Judah, and the chief of the fathers of
Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

00:29.880 --> 00:33.120
And all the congregation made a covenant
with the king in the house of God.

00:33.900 --> 00:37.700
And he said unto them, Behold,
the king's son shall reign as the Lord

00:37.700 --> 00:39.040
hath said of the sons of David.

00:39.520 --> 00:41.100
This is the thing that ye shall do.

00:41.680 --> 00:44.560
A third part of you entering on the
Sabbath, of the priests and of the

00:44.560 --> 00:46.260
Levites, shall be porters of the doors.

00:46.720 --> 00:50.440
And a third part shall be at the king's
house, and a third part at the gate of the

00:50.440 --> 00:50.820
foundation.

00:51.320 --> 00:53.940
And all the people shall be in the courts
of the house of the Lord.

00:54.440 --> 00:58.260
But let none come into the house of the
Lord, save the priests and they that

00:58.260 --> 00:59.300
minister of the Levites.

00:59.800 --> 01:01.560
They shall go in, for they are holy.

01:02.140 --> 01:04.500
But all the people shall keep the watch of
the Lord.

01:04.920 --> 01:08.960
And the Levites shall compass the king
round about, every man with his weapons in

01:08.960 --> 01:09.480
his hand.

01:09.800 --> 01:13.460
And whosoever else cometh into the house,
he shall be put to death.

01:13.900 --> 01:17.180
But be ye with the king when he cometh in,
and when he goeth out.

01:17.420 --> 01:21.460
So the Levites and all Judah did according
to all things that Jehoiada the priest had

01:21.460 --> 01:25.280
commanded, and took every man his men,
that were to come in on the Sabbath,

01:25.280 --> 01:27.580
with them that were to go out on the
Sabbath.

01:28.400 --> 01:30.700
For Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the
courses.

01:31.640 --> 01:35.940
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to
the captains of hundreds, spears and

01:35.940 --> 01:40.120
bucklers and shields that had been king
David's, which were in the house of God.

01:41.260 --> 01:44.740
And he set all the people, every man
having his weapon in his hand,

01:45.260 --> 01:48.880
from the right side of the temple to the
left side of the temple, along by the

01:48.880 --> 01:51.260
altar in the temple, by the king round
about.

01:51.260 --> 01:56.300
Then they brought out the king's son,
and put upon him the crown, and gave him

01:56.300 --> 01:58.080
the testimony, and made him king.

01:58.660 --> 02:02.960
And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him,
and said, God save the king!

02:03.280 --> 02:06.700
Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the
people running and praising the king,

02:07.320 --> 02:09.400
she came to the people into the house of
the Lord.

02:09.940 --> 02:13.960
And she looked, and behold, the king stood
at his pillar at the entering inn,

02:14.440 --> 02:16.320
and the princes and the trumpets by the
king.

02:16.820 --> 02:20.940
And all the people of the land rejoiced,
and sounded with trumpets, also the

02:20.940 --> 02:24.400
singers with instruments of music,
and such as taught to sing praise.

02:25.180 --> 02:27.980
Then Athaliah rent her clothes,
and said, Treason!

02:28.460 --> 02:28.860
Treason!

02:29.300 --> 02:32.780
Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the
captains of hundreds that were set over

02:32.780 --> 02:37.380
the host, and said unto them, Have her
forth of the rangers, and whoso followeth

02:37.380 --> 02:39.240
her, let him be slain with the sword.

02:39.380 --> 02:42.120
For the priest said, Slay her not in the
house of the Lord.

02:42.280 --> 02:45.820
So they laid hands on her, and when she
was come to the entering of the horse gate

02:45.820 --> 02:48.120
by the king's house, they slew her there.

02:48.600 --> 02:52.980
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him,
and between all the people, and between

02:52.980 --> 02:55.300
the king, that they should be the Lord's
people.

02:56.260 --> 02:59.980
Then all the people went to the house of
Baal, and break it down, and break his

02:59.980 --> 03:04.300
altars and his images in pieces,
and slew Matan the priest of Baal before

03:04.300 --> 03:04.860
the altars.

03:06.220 --> 03:09.780
Also Jehoiada appointed the officers of
the house of the Lord by the hand of the

03:09.780 --> 03:13.520
priests, the Levites, whom David had
distributed in the house of the Lord,

03:13.520 --> 03:17.620
to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord,
as it is written in the law of Moses,

03:18.260 --> 03:21.440
with rejoicing and with singing,
as it was ordained by David.

03:22.140 --> 03:25.560
And he set the porters at the gates of the
house of the Lord, that none which was

03:25.560 --> 03:27.780
unclean in anything should enter in.

03:28.840 --> 03:32.480
And he took the captains of hundreds,
and the nobles, and the governors of the

03:32.480 --> 03:36.240
people, and all the people of the land,
and brought down the king from the house

03:36.240 --> 03:36.680
of the Lord.

03:37.480 --> 03:41.560
And they came through the high gate into
the king's house, and set the king upon

03:41.560 --> 03:42.400
the throne of the kingdom.

03:42.400 --> 03:48.060
And all the people of the land rejoiced,
and the city was quiet, after that they

03:48.060 --> 03:49.780
had slain Athaliah with the sword.
