2nd Chronicles Chapter 23 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And in the seventh <H7637> year <H8141> Jehoiada <H3077> strengthened <H2388> himself, and took <H3947> the captains <H8269> of hundreds, <H3967> Azariah <H5838> the son <H1121> of Jeroham, <H3395> and Ishmael <H3458> the son <H1121> of Jehohanan, <H3076> and Azariah <H5838> the son <H1121> of Obed, <H5744> and Maaseiah <H4641> the son <H1121> of Adaiah, <H5718> and Elishaphat <H0478> the son <H1121> of Zichri, <H2147> into covenant <H1285> with him.
2: And they went about <H5437> in Judah, <H3063> and gathered <H6908> the Levites <H3881> out of all the cities <H5892> of Judah, <H3063> and the chief <H7218> of the fathers <H0001> of Israel, <H3478> and they came <H0935> to Jerusalem. <H3389>
3: And all the congregation <H6951> made <H3772> a covenant <H1285> with the king <H4428> in the house <H1004> of God. <H0430> And he said <H0559> unto them, Behold, the king's <H4428> son <H1121> shall reign, <H4427> as the LORD <H3068> hath said <H1696> of the sons <H1121> of David. <H1732>
4: This [is] the thing <H1697> that ye shall do; <H6213> A third part <H7992> of you entering <H0935> on the sabbath, <H7676> of the priests <H3548> and of the Levites, <H3881> [shall be] porters <H7778> of the doors; <H5592>
5: And a third part <H7992> [shall be] at the king's <H4428> house; <H1004> and a third part <H7992> at the gate <H8179> of the foundation: <H3247> and all the people <H5971> [shall be] in the courts <H2691> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
6: But let none come <H0935> into the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> save the priests, <H3548> and they that minister <H8334> of the Levites; <H3881> they shall go in, <H0935> for they [are] holy: <H6944> but all the people <H5971> shall keep <H8104> the watch <H4931> of the LORD. <H3068>
7: And the Levites <H3881> shall compass <H5362> the king <H4428> round about, <H5439> every man <H0376> with his weapons <H3627> in his hand; <H3027> and whosoever [else] cometh <H0935> into the house, <H1004> he shall be put to death: <H4191> but be ye with the king <H4428> when he cometh in, <H0935> and when he goeth out. <H3318>
8: So the Levites <H3881> and all Judah <H3063> did <H6213> according to all things that Jehoiada <H3077> the priest <H3548> had commanded, <H6680> and took <H3947> every man <H0376> his men <H0582> that were to come in <H0935> on the sabbath, <H7676> with them that were to go <H3318> [out] on the sabbath: <H7676> for Jehoiada <H3077> the priest <H3548> dismissed <H6362> not the courses. <H4256>
9: Moreover Jehoiada <H3077> the priest <H3548> delivered <H5414> to the captains <H8269> of hundreds <H3967> spears, <H2595> and bucklers, <H4043> and shields, <H7982> that [had been] king <H4428> David's, <H1732> which [were] in the house <H1004> of God. <H0430>
10: And he set <H5975> all the people, <H5971> every man <H0376> having his weapon <H7973> in his hand, <H3027> from the right <H3233> side <H3802> of the temple <H1004> to the left <H8042> side <H3802> of the temple, <H1004> along by the altar <H4196> and the temple, <H1004> by the king <H4428> round about. <H5439>
11: Then they brought out <H3318> the king's <H4428> son, <H1121> and put <H5414> upon him the crown, <H5145> and [gave him] the testimony, <H5715> and made him king. <H4427> And Jehoiada <H3077> and his sons <H1121> anointed <H4886> him, and said, <H0559> God save <H2421> the king. <H4428>
12: Now when Athaliah <H6271> heard <H8085> the noise <H6963> of the people <H5971> running <H7323> and praising <H1984> the king, <H4428> she came <H0935> to the people <H5971> into the house <H1004> of the LORD: <H3068>
13: And she looked, <H7200> and, behold, the king <H4428> stood <H5975> at his pillar <H5982> at the entering in, <H3996> and the princes <H8269> and the trumpets <H2689> by the king: <H4428> and all the people <H5971> of the land <H0776> rejoiced, <H8056> and sounded <H8628> with trumpets, <H2689> also the singers <H7891> with instruments <H3627> of musick, <H7892> and such as taught <H3045> to sing praise. <H1984> Then Athaliah <H6271> rent <H7167> her clothes, <H0899> and said, <H0559> Treason, <H7195> Treason. <H7195>
14: Then Jehoiada <H3077> the priest <H3548> brought out <H3318> the captains <H8269> of hundreds <H3967> that were set over <H6485> the host, <H2428> and said <H0559> unto them, Have her forth <H3318> of <H1004> the ranges: <H7713> and whoso followeth <H0935> <H0310> her, let him be slain <H4191> with the sword. <H2719> For the priest <H3548> said, <H0559> Slay <H4191> her not in the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
15: So they laid <H7760> hands <H3027> on her; and when she was come <H0935> to the entering <H3996> of the horse <H5483> gate <H8179> by the king's <H4428> house, <H1004> they slew <H4191> her there.
16: And Jehoiada <H3077> made <H3772> a covenant <H1285> between him, and between all the people, <H5971> and between the king, <H4428> that they should be the LORD'S <H3068> people. <H5971>
17: Then all the people <H5971> went <H0935> to the house <H1004> of Baal, <H1168> and brake it down, <H5422> and brake his altars <H4196> and his images <H6754> in pieces, <H7665> and slew <H2026> Mattan <H4977> the priest <H3548> of Baal <H1168> before <H6440> the altars. <H4196>
18: Also Jehoiada <H3077> appointed <H7760> the offices <H6486> of the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> by the hand <H3027> of the priests <H3548> the Levites, <H3881> whom David <H1732> had distributed <H2505> in the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> to offer <H5927> the burnt offerings <H5930> of the LORD, <H3068> as [it is] written <H3789> in the law <H8451> of Moses, <H4872> with rejoicing <H8057> and with singing, <H7892> [as it was ordained] by <H3027> David. <H1732>
19: And he set <H5975> the porters <H7778> at the gates <H8179> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> that none [which was] unclean <H2931> in any thing <H1697> should enter in. <H0935>
20: And he took <H3947> the captains <H8269> of hundreds, <H3967> and the nobles, <H0117> and the governors <H4910> of the people, <H5971> and all the people <H5971> of the land, <H0776> and brought down <H3381> the king <H4428> from the house <H1004> of the LORD: <H3068> and they came <H0935> through <H8432> the high <H5945> gate <H8179> into the king's <H4428> house, <H1004> and set <H3427> the king <H4428> upon the throne <H3678> of the kingdom. <H4467>
21: And all the people <H5971> of the land <H0776> rejoiced: <H8055> and the city <H5892> was quiet, <H8252> after that they had slain <H4191> Athaliah <H6271> with the sword. <H2719>
