2 Kings Chapter 11
So when Athaliah, Ahaziah's mom, peeped that her kid was gone, she was like, "Time to erase the royal crew."
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. {seed...: Heb. seed of the kingdom}
However, Jehosheba, Joram's daughter and Ahaziah's sister, swooped in and snatched Joash, Ahaziah's son, hiding him and his nurse in the bedroom to keep him safe from Athaliah.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons {which were} slain; and they hid him, {even} him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. {Jehosheba: also called, Jehoshabeath} {Joash: also called, Jehoash}
He was vibing with her in the Lord's crib for six years while Athaliah was in charge.
And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
In the seventh year, Jehoiada reached out to the leaders and guards, pulled them to the Lord's house, made a pact, and showed them the king's kid.
And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son.
He was like, "Ayo, here’s the deal: one-third of you on the Sabbath gotta watch the king's pad."
And he commanded them, saying, This {is} the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
Another third's chillin' at Sur gate, and the last third's posted at the gate behind the guards. Keep the place secure, no cap.
And a third part {shall be} at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down. {that...: or, from breaking up}
And the two-thirds of you that dip out on the Sabbath gotta keep an eye on the Lord's house for the king.
And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king. {parts: or, companies: Heb. hands}
Surround the king, fam, with your gear ready: if anyone acts sus, take 'em out. Stick close to the king when he goes out and comes back.
And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
The captains did everything Jehoiada said, bringing their crew for the Sabbath vibe check.
And the captains over the hundreds did according to all {things} that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
Jehoiada blessed the captains with King David's spears and shields from the Lord's temple.
And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that {were} in the temple of the LORD.
The guards were posted up with their weapons, surrounding the king from one corner of the temple to the other, by the altar and temple.
And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, {along} by the altar and the temple. {corner: Heb. shoulder}
He brought the king's kid out, put the crown on him, handed him the testimony; they made him king, anointed him, and everyone was like, "God save the king!"
And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and {gave him} the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king. {God...: Heb. Let the king live}
When Athaliah caught wind of the noise from the guards and the crowd, she rolled up to see what was popping in the Lord's temple.
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard {and} of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
She spotted the king by a pillar, all the princes and trumpeteers were with him, and everyone was vibing, blasting trumpets; Athaliah tore her clothes and yelled, "Treason!"
And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner {was}, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
Jehoiada told the captains and officers, "Get her outta here, and anyone who rolls with her, take 'em out too. Don't let her get taken out in the Lord's house."
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
They grabbed her, and she went the way the horses pulled up into the king's crib; that’s where she got taken down.
And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, saying they’d be the Lord's squad.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people.
Everyone rolled up to Baal's house and wrecked it; smashed altars and images, and took out Mattan the priest of Baal right there. Jehoiada set up officers in the Lord's house.
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD. {officers: Heb. offices}
He gathered the leaders, captains, and the people, brought the king down from the Lord's house, and headed to the king's crib through the guard's gate. He took the throne like a boss.
And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
Everyone was hyped, the city was chill, and they took out Athaliah right by the king's house.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword {beside} the king's house.
Jehoash was just seven when he started ruling.
Seven years old {was} Jehoash when he began to reign.
