1As soon as Ahaziah's mother Athaliah learned that her son had died, she seized the throne and executed the entire royal bloodline.

1וַֽעֲתַלְיָה֙ אֵ֣ם אֲחַזְיָ֔הוּ [וראתה] (רָאֲתָ֖ה) כִּ֣י מֵ֣ת בְּנָ֑הּ וַתָּ֙קָם֙ וַתְּאַבֵּ֔ד אֵ֖ת כָּל־ זֶ֥רַע הַמַּמְלָכָֽה׃

2But King Joram's daughter Jehosheba, who was Ahaziah's sister, rescued Ahaziah's son Joash from the group of the king's sons who were being executed and hid him and his nurse in her bedroom, concealing him from Athaliah so he was not put to death.

2וַתִּקַּ֣ח יְהוֹשֶׁ֣בַע בַּת־ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ־ י֠וֹרָם אֲח֨וֹת אֲחַזְיָ֜הוּ אֶת־ יוֹאָ֣שׁ בֶּן־ אֲחַזְיָ֗ה וַתִּגְנֹ֤ב אֹתוֹ֙ מִתּ֤וֹךְ בְּנֵֽי־ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ [הממותתים] (הַמּ֣וּמָתִ֔ים) אֹת֥וֹ וְאֶת־ מֵינִקְתּ֖וֹ בַּחֲדַ֣ר הַמִּטּ֑וֹת וַיַּסְתִּ֧רוּ אֹת֛וֹ מִפְּנֵ֥י עֲתַלְיָ֖הוּ וְלֹ֥א הוּמָֽת׃

3So Joash remained hidden with her in the LORD's Temple for six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.

3וַיְהִ֤י אִתָּהּ֙ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה מִתְחַבֵּ֖א שֵׁ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֑ים וַעֲתַלְיָ֖ה מֹלֶ֥כֶת עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ פ

4But during the seventh year of her reign, Jehoiada went out and called together the rulers of hundreds, the captains, and the guards, and assembled them together inside the LORD's Temple. He made a covenant with them, making them take an oath in the LORD's Temple, and then he revealed the king's son to them.

4וּבַשָּׁנָ֣ה הַ֠שְּׁבִיעִית שָׁלַ֨ח יְהוֹיָדָ֜ע וַיִּקַּ֣ח ׀ אֶת־ שָׂרֵ֣י [המאיות] (הַמֵּא֗וֹת) לַכָּרִי֙ וְלָ֣רָצִ֔ים וַיָּבֵ֥א אֹתָ֛ם אֵלָ֖יו בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּכְרֹת֩ לָהֶ֨ם בְּרִ֜ית וַיַּשְׁבַּ֤ע אֹתָם֙ בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וַיַּ֥רְא אֹתָ֖ם אֶת־ בֶּן־ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

5He ordered them: "Here's what we'll do: A third of you will enter here on this coming Sabbath dressed as guardians of the watch for the king's palace,

5וַיְצַוֵּ֣ם לֵאמֹ֔ר זֶ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲשׂ֑וּן הַשְּׁלִשִׁ֤ית מִכֶּם֙ בָּאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֔ת וְשֹׁ֣מְרֵ֔י מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת בֵּ֥ית הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

6with a third of you at the Sur gate, and a third at the gate behind the guards. Keep watch over the palace and defend it.

6וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית֙ בְּשַׁ֣עַר ס֔וּר וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁ֥ית בַּשַּׁ֖עַר אַחַ֣ר הָרָצִ֑ים וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֛ם אֶת־ מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת הַבַּ֖יִת מַסָּֽח׃

7Two of you who enter here on this coming Sabbath are to stand watch at the LORD's Temple,

7וּשְׁתֵּ֤י הַיָּדוֹת֙ בָּכֶ֔ם כֹּ֖ל יֹצְאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת וְשָֽׁמְר֛וּ אֶת־ מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת בֵּית־ יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

8guarding the king and surrounding him with weapons in hand. Whoever comes within range is to be killed. Stay with the king wherever he goes, coming or going."

8וְהִקַּפְתֶּ֨ם עַל־ הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ סָבִ֗יב אִ֚ישׁ וְכֵלָ֣יו בְּיָד֔וֹ וְהַבָּ֥א אֶל־ הַשְּׂדֵר֖וֹת יוּמָ֑ת וִהְי֥וּ אֶת־ הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בְּצֵאת֥וֹ וּבְבֹאֽוֹ׃

9So the captains of hundreds did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one of them assembled his men who were to enter on the Sabbath, along with those who were to leave on the Sabbath, and approached Jehoiada the priest.

9וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֞וּ שָׂרֵ֣י [המאיות] (הַמֵּא֗וֹת) כְּכֹ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־ צִוָּה֮ יְהוֹיָדָ֣ע הַכֹּהֵן֒ וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־ אֲנָשָׁ֔יו בָּאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֔ת עִ֖ם יֹצְאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אֶל־ יְהוֹיָדָ֥ע הַכֹּהֵֽן׃

10The priest issued king David's personal spears and shields that had been stored in the LORD's Temple to the captains of hundreds.

10וַיִּתֵּ֨ן הַכֹּהֵ֜ן לְשָׂרֵ֣י [המאיות] (הַמֵּא֗וֹת) אֶֽת־ הַחֲנִית֙ וְאֶת־ הַשְּׁלָטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֑ד אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּבֵ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

11So the guards stood assembled, every soldier with weapons in hand, surrounding the king from the right side corner of the Temple to the left side corner, including around the altar and the Temple.

11וַיַּעַמְד֨וּ הָרָצִ֜ים אִ֣ישׁ ׀ וְכֵלָ֣יו בְּיָד֗וֹ מִכֶּ֨תֶף הַבַּ֤יִת הַיְמָנִית֙ עַד־ כֶּ֤תֶף הַבַּ֙יִת֙ הַשְּׂמָאלִ֔ית לַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ וְלַבָּ֑יִת עַל־ הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ סָבִֽיב׃

12Then he brought out the king's son, put the royal crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and installed him as king. They anointed him, applauded, and said, "May the king live!"

12וַיּוֹצִ֣א אֶת־ בֶּן־ הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ וַיִּתֵּ֤ן עָלָיו֙ אֶת־ הַנֵּ֙זֶר֙ וְאֶת־ הָ֣עֵד֔וּת וַיַּמְלִ֥כוּ אֹת֖וֹ וַיִּמְשָׁחֻ֑הוּ וַיַּכּוּ־ כָ֔ף וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ יְחִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ ס

13When Athaliah heard all of the commotion coming from those who were guarding the people, she approached the people who were in the LORD's Temple.

13וַתִּשְׁמַ֣ע עֲתַלְיָ֔ה אֶת־ ק֥וֹל הָֽרָצִ֖ין הָעָ֑ם וַתָּבֹ֥א אֶל־ הָעָ֖ם בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

14She looked around—and there was the king, standing near a column, as was the royal custom! He was accompanied by the commanding officers, along with trumpeters who stood beside the king. All the people of the land sounded trumpets in their excitement. But Athaliah tore her clothes and bellowed, "It's a plot! A conspiracy!"

14וַתֵּ֡רֶא וְהִנֵּ֣ה הַמֶּלֶךְ֩ עֹמֵ֨ד עַֽל־ הָעַמּ֜וּד כַּמִּשְׁפָּ֗ט וְהַשָּׂרִ֤ים וְהַחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת֙ אֶל־ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְכָל־ עַ֤ם הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שָׂמֵ֔חַ וְתֹקֵ֖עַ בַּחֲצֹֽצְר֑וֹת וַתִּקְרַ֤ע עֲתַלְיָה֙ אֶת־ בְּגָדֶ֔יהָ וַתִּקְרָ֖א קֶ֥שֶׁר קָֽשֶׁר׃ ס

15Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains in charge of the army, "Take her out the back way and execute anybody who follows her," since the priest had also issued this order: "Let's not put her to death in the LORD's Temple."

15וַיְצַו֩ יְהוֹיָדָ֨ע הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֶת־ שָׂרֵ֥י [המיאות] (הַמֵּא֣וֹת ׀) פְּקֻדֵ֣י הַחַ֗יִל וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ הוֹצִ֤יאוּ אֹתָהּ֙ אֶל־ מִבֵּ֣ית לַשְּׂדֵרֹ֔ת וְהַבָּ֥א אַחֲרֶ֖יהָ הָמֵ֣ת בֶּחָ֑רֶב כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֔ן אַל־ תּוּמַ֖ת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

16So they arrested Athaliah, took her out through the same entrance used by the horses for entering the king's palace, and executed her.

16וַיָּשִׂ֤מוּ לָהּ֙ יָדַ֔יִם וַתָּב֛וֹא דֶּֽרֶךְ־ מְב֥וֹא הַסּוּסִ֖ים בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַתּוּמַ֖ת שָֽׁם׃ ס

17Then Jehoiada entered into a covenant with the LORD, the king, and the people, that they would live as the LORD's people, and also entered into a covenant with the king and the people.

17וַיִּכְרֹ֨ת יְהוֹיָדָ֜ע אֶֽת־ הַבְּרִ֗ית בֵּ֤ין יְהוָה֙ וּבֵ֤ין הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וּבֵ֣ין הָעָ֔ם לִהְי֥וֹת לְעָ֖ם לַֽיהוָ֑ה וּבֵ֥ין הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וּבֵ֥ין הָעָֽם׃

18Then all of the people of the land entered Baal's temple, tore it down, and broke his altars and his images to pieces, killing Mattan the priest of Baal right in front of the altars. Furthermore, Jehoiada the priest appointed officers to guard the LORD's Temple,

18וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ כָל־ עַם֩ הָאָ֨רֶץ בֵּית־ הַבַּ֜עַל וַֽיִּתְּצֻ֗הוּ אֶת־ [מזבחתו] (מִזְבְּחֹתָ֤יו) וְאֶת־ צְלָמָיו֙ שִׁבְּר֣וּ הֵיטֵ֔ב וְאֵ֗ת מַתָּן֙ כֹּהֵ֣ן הַבַּ֔עַל הָרְג֖וּ לִפְנֵ֣י הַֽמִּזְבְּח֑וֹת וַיָּ֧שֶׂם הַכֹּהֵ֛ן פְּקֻדּ֖וֹת עַל־ בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

19and brought the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, taking the king out of the LORD's Temple, marching through the guard's gate to the king's palace, where Joash took his seat on the throne of the kings.

19וַיִּקַּ֣ח אֶת־ שָׂרֵ֣י הַ֠מֵּאוֹת וְאֶת־ הַכָּרִ֨י וְאֶת־ הָרָצִ֜ים וְאֵ֣ת ׀ כָּל־ עַ֣ם הָאָ֗רֶץ וַיֹּרִ֤ידוּ אֶת־ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מִבֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּב֛וֹאוּ דֶּֽרֶך־ שַׁ֥עַר‪‬ הָרָצִ֖ים בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב עַל־ כִּסֵּ֥א הַמְּלָכִֽים׃

20After this, everyone throughout the land rejoiced and the city was at peace, because they had executed Athaliah at the king's palace.

20וַיִּשְׂמַ֥ח כָּל־ עַם־ הָאָ֖רֶץ וְהָעִ֣יר שָׁקָ֑טָה וְאֶת־ עֲתַלְיָ֛הוּ הֵמִ֥יתוּ בַחֶ֖רֶב בֵּ֥ית [מלך] (הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃) ס

21 Jehoash began to reign as king when he was seven years old,

21בֶּן־ שֶׁ֥בַע שָׁנִ֖ים יְהוֹאָ֥שׁ בְּמָלְכֽוֹ׃ פ
