And in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 strengthenedH2388 himself, and tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of JehohananH3076, and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ObedH5744, and MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of AdaiahH5718, and ElishaphatH478 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, into covenantH1285 with him.
And they went aboutH5437 in JudahH3063, and gatheredH6908 the LevitesH3881 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, and they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And all the congregationH6951 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the kingH4428 in the houseH1004 of GodH430. And he saidH559 unto them, Behold, the king'sH4428 sonH1121 shall reignH4427, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732.
This is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213; A third partH7992 of you enteringH935 on the sabbathH7676, of the priestsH3548 and of the LevitesH3881, shall be portersH7778 of the doorsH5592; {doors: Heb. thresholds}
And a third partH7992 shall be at the king'sH4428 houseH1004; and a third partH7992 at the gateH8179 of the foundationH3247: and all the peopleH5971 shall be in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
But let none comeH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, save the priestsH3548, and they that ministerH8334 of the LevitesH3881; they shall go inH935, for they are holyH6944: but all the peopleH5971 shall keepH8104 the watchH4931 of the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881 shall compassH5362 the kingH4428 round aboutH5439, every manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whosoever else comethH935 into the houseH1004, he shall be put to deathH4191: but be ye with the kingH4428 when he cometh inH935, and when he goeth outH3318.
So the LevitesH3881 and all JudahH3063 didH6213 according to all things that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 had commandedH6680, and tookH3947 every manH376 his menH582 that were to come inH935 on the sabbathH7676, with them that were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676: for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 dismissedH6358 not the coursesH4256.
Moreover JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 deliveredH5414 to the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 spearsH2595, and bucklersH4043, and shieldsH7982, that had been kingH4428 David'sH1732, which were in the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And he setH5975 all the peopleH5971, every manH376 having his weaponH7973 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the templeH1004 to the leftH8042 sideH3802 of the templeH1004, along by the altarH4196 and the templeH1004, by the kingH4428 round aboutH5439. {side: Heb. shoulder} {temple: Heb. house}
Then they brought outH3318 the king'sH4428 sonH1121, and putH5414 upon him the crownH5145, and gave him the testimonyH5715, and made him kingH4427. And JehoiadaH3077 and his sonsH1121 anointedH4886 him, and saidH559, God saveH2421 the kingH4428. {God…: Heb. Let the king live}
Now when AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 runningH7323 and praisingH1984 the kingH4428, she cameH935 to the peopleH5971 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
And she lookedH7200, and, behold, the kingH4428 stoodH5975 at his pillarH5982 at the entering inH3996, and the princesH8269 and the trumpetsH2689 by the kingH4428: and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056, and soundedH8628 with trumpetsH2689, also the singersH7891 with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, and such as taughtH3045 to sing praiseH1984. Then AthaliahH6271 rentH7167 her clothesH899, and saidH559, TreasonH7195, TreasonH7195. {Treason: Heb. Conspiracy}
Then JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 brought outH3318 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 that were set overH6485 the hostH2428, and saidH559 unto them, Have her forthH3318 of the rangesH1004+H7713: and whoso followethH935+H310 her, let him be slainH4191 with the swordH2719. For the priestH3548 saidH559, SlayH4191 her not in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
So they laidH7760 handsH3027 on her; and when she was comeH935 to the enteringH3996 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 by the king'sH4428 houseH1004, they slewH4191 her there.
And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between him, and between all the peopleH5971, and between the kingH4428, that they should be the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971.
Then all the peopleH5971 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and brake it downH5422, and brakeH7665 his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 in piecesH7665, and slewH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196.
Also JehoiadaH3077 appointedH7760 the officesH6486 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, whom DavidH1732 had distributedH2505 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to offerH5927 the burnt offeringsH5930 of the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, with rejoicingH8057 and with singingH7892, as it was ordained byH3027 DavidH1732. {as it was…: Heb. by the hands of David}
And he setH5975 the portersH7778 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, that none which was uncleanH2931 in any thingH1697 should enter inH935.
And he tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, and the noblesH117, and the governorsH4910 of the peopleH5971, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and brought downH3381 the kingH4428 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and they cameH935 throughH8432 the highH5945 gateH8179 into the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and setH3427 the kingH4428 upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4467.
And all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055: and the cityH5892 was quietH8252, after that they had slainH4191 AthaliahH6271 with the swordH2719.

And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between him, and between all the peopleH5971, and between the kingH4428, that they should be the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971.
Now therefore, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; yet soH7535 that thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870 to walkH3212 in my lawH8451, as thou hast walkedH1980 beforeH6440 me. {There…: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off}
So all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and kingH4428 DavidH1732 madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
Then will I stablishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. {There…: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}
And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971, that they should be the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971; between the kingH4428 also and the peopleH5971.
Howbeit the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, because of the covenantH1285 that he had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, and as he promisedH559 to giveH5414 a lightH5216 to him and to his sonsH1121 for everH3117. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
Therefore cameH935 all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 SamuelH8050. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467.
And thine houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769.
That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965 his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696 concerning me, sayingH559, If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH3212 beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772 thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. {fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
Then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 for everH5769, as I promisedH1696 to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.
And their brethrenH251, according to their generationsH8435, nineH8672 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 and sixH8337. All these menH582 were chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 in the houseH1004 of their fathersH1.
And of the priestsH3548; JedaiahH3048, and JehoiaribH3080, and JachinH3199,
And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, the sonH1121 of MeshullamH4918, the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, the sonH1121 of MeraiothH4812, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430;
And AdaiahH5718 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, the sonH1121 of PashurH6583, the sonH1121 of MalchijahH4441, and MaasiaiH4640 the sonH1121 of AdielH5717, the sonH1121 of JahzerahH3170, the sonH1121 of MeshullamH4918, the sonH1121 of MeshillemithH4921, the sonH1121 of ImmerH564;
And their brethrenH251, headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346; very ableH2428 menH1368 for the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. {very…: Heb. mighty men of valour}
And of the LevitesH3881; ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of HasshubH2815, the sonH1121 of AzrikamH5840, the sonH1121 of HashabiahH2811, of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847;
And BakbakkarH1230, HereshH2792, and GalalH1559, and MattaniahH4983 the sonH1121 of MicahH4316, the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623;
And ObadiahH5662 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, the sonH1121 of GalalH1559, the sonH1121 of JeduthunH3038, and BerechiahH1296 the sonH1121 of AsaH609, the sonH1121 of ElkanahH511, that dweltH3427 in the villagesH2691 of the NetophathitesH5200.
And the portersH7778 were, ShallumH7967, and AkkubH6126, and TalmonH2929, and AhimanH289, and their brethrenH251: ShallumH7967 was the chiefH7218;
Who hitherto waited in the king'sH4428 gateH8179 eastwardH4217: they were portersH7778 in the companiesH4264 of the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878.
And ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of KoreH6981, the sonH1121 of EbiasaphH43, the sonH1121 of KorahH7141, and his brethrenH251, of the houseH1004 of his fatherH1, the KorahitesH7145, were over the workH4399 of the serviceH5656, keepersH8104 of the gatesH5592 of the tabernacleH168: and their fathersH1, being over the hostH4264 of the LORDH3068, were keepersH8104 of the entryH3996. {gates: Heb. thresholds}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 was the rulerH5057 over them in time pastH6440, and the LORDH3068 was with him.
And ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of MeshelemiahH4920 was porterH7778 of the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
All these which were chosenH1305 to be portersH7778 in the gatesH5592 were two hundredH3967 and twelveH8147+H6240. These were reckoned by their genealogyH3187 in their villagesH2691, whomH1992 DavidH1732 and SamuelH8050 the seerH7200 did ordainH3245 in their set officeH530. {did…: Heb. founded} {set…: or, trust}
So they and their childrenH1121 had the oversight of the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, namely, the houseH1004 of the tabernacleH168, by wardsH4931.
In fourH702 quartersH7307 were the portersH7778, toward the eastH4217, westH3220, northH6828, and southH5045.
And their brethrenH251, which were in their villagesH2691, were to comeH935 after sevenH7651 daysH3117 from timeH6256 to timeH6256 with them.
For these LevitesH3881, the fourH702 chiefH1368 portersH7778, were in their set officeH530, and were over the chambersH3957 and treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. {set…: or, trust} {chambers: or, storehouses}
And they lodgedH3885 round aboutH5439 the houseH1004 of GodH430, because the chargeH4931 was upon them, and the openingH4668 thereof every morningH1242 pertained to them.
