2 Kings 11 (WEBP)

[1] Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
[2] But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
[3] He was with her hidden in Yahweh’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
[4] In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into Yahweh’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in Yahweh’s house, and showed them the king’s son.
[5] He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
[6] a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
[7] The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of Yahweh’s house around the king.
[8] You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”
[9] The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
[10] The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in Yahweh’s house.
[11] The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
[12] Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
[13] When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house;
[14] and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
[15] Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in Yahweh’s house.”
[16] So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
[17] Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they should be Yahweh’s people; also between the king and the people.
[18] All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over Yahweh’s house.
[19] He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from Yahweh’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
[20] So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.
[21] Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Kings 11 (YLT)

[1] And Athaliah is mother of Ahaziah, and she hath seen that her son is dead, and she riseth, and destroyeth all the seed of the kingdom;
[2] and Jehosheba daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him out of the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, him and his nurse, in the inner part of the bed-chambers, and they hide him from the presence of Athaliah, and he hath not been put to death,
[3] and he is with her, in the house of Jehovah, hiding himself, six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
[4] And in the seventh year hath Jehoiada sent and taketh the heads of the hundreds, of the executioners and of the runners, and bringeth them in unto him, to the house of Jehovah, and maketh with them a covenant, and causeth them to swear in the house of Jehovah, and sheweth them the son of the king,
[5] and commandeth them, saying, ‘This is the thing that ye do; The third of you are going in on the sabbath, and keepers of the charge of the house of the king,
[6] and the third is at the gate of Sur, and the third at the gate behind the runners, and ye have kept the charge of the house pulled down;
[7] and two parts of you, all going out on the sabbath-they have kept the charge of the house of Jehovah about the king,
[8] and ye have compassed the king round about, each with his weapons in his hand, and he who is coming unto the ranges is put to death; and be ye with the king in his going out and in his coming in.’
[9] And the heads of the hundreds do according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and take each his men going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, and come in unto Jehoiada the priest,
[10] and the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the spears and the shields that king David had, that are in the house of Jehovah.
[11] And the runners stand, each with his weapons in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of the house, by the altar and by the house, by the king round about;
[12] and he bringeth out the son of the king, and putteth on him the crown, and the testimony, and they make him king, and anoint him, and smite the hand, and say, ‘Let the king live.’
[13] And Athaliah heareth the voice of the runners and of the people, and she cometh in unto the people, to the house of Jehovah,
[14] and looketh, and lo, the king is standing by the pillar, according to the ordinance, and the heads, and the trumpets, are by the king, and all the people of the land are rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and calleth, ‘Conspiracy! conspiracy!’
[15] And Jehoiada the priest commandeth the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, ‘Bring her out unto the outside of the ranges, and him who is going after her, put to death by the sword:’ for the priest had said, ‘Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.’
[16] And they make for her sides, and she entereth the way of the entering in of the horses to the house of the king, and is put to death there.
[17] And Jehoiada maketh the covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, to be for a people to Jehovah, and between the king and the people.
[18] And all the people of the land go in to the house of Baal, and break it down, its altars and its images they have thoroughly broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars; and the priest setteth inspectors over the house of Jehovah,
[19] and taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they bring down the king from the house of Jehovah, and come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the king, and he sitteth on the throne of the kings.
[20] And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city is quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword in the house of the king;
[21] a son of seven years is Jehoash in his reigning.
