1第七年， 耶何耶大 奋勇自强，将百夫长 耶罗罕 的儿子 亚撒利雅 ， 约哈难 的儿子 以实玛利 ， 俄备得 的儿子 亚撒利雅 ， 亚大雅 的儿子 玛西雅 ， 细基利 的儿子 以利沙法 召来，与他们立约。

3会众在 神殿里与王立约。 耶何耶大 对他们说：「看哪，王的儿子必当作王，正如耶和华指着 大卫 子孙所应许的话」；
4This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
4又说：「你们当这样行：祭司和 利未 人凡安息日进班的，三分之一要把守各门，
5and a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
5三分之一要在王宫，三分之一要在 基址 门；众百姓要在耶和华殿的院内。
6But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall come in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the charge of the LORD.
6除了祭司和供职的 利未 人之外，不准别人进耶和华的殿；惟独他们可以进去，因为他们圣洁。众百姓要遵守耶和华所吩咐的。
7And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever cometh into the house, let him be slain; and be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.'
7利未 人要手中各拿兵器，四围护卫王；凡擅入殿宇的，必当治死。王出入的时候，你们当跟随他。」
8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
8利未 人和 犹大 众人都照着祭司 耶何耶大 一切所吩咐的去行，各带所管安息日进班出班的人来，因为祭司 耶何耶大 不许他们下班。
9And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
9祭司 耶何耶大 便将 神殿里所藏 大卫 王的枪、盾牌、挡牌交给百夫长，
10And he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.
10又分派众民手中各拿兵器，在坛和殿那里，从殿右直到殿左，站在王子的四围；
11Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown and the insignia, and made him king; and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said: 'Long live the king.'
11于是领王子出来，给他戴上冠冕，将律法 书交给他 ，立他作王。 耶何耶大 和众子膏他，众人说：「愿王万岁！」
12And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD;
12亚她利雅 听见民奔走赞美王的声音，就到民那里，进耶和华的殿，
13and she looked, and, behold, the king stood on his platform at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets; the singers also played on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said: 'Treason, treason.'
13看见王站在 殿 门的柱旁，百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右，国民都欢乐吹号，又有歌唱的，用各样的乐器领人歌唱赞美； 亚她利雅 就撕裂衣服，喊叫说：「反了！反了！」
14And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword'; for the priest said: 'Slay her not in the house of the LORD.'
14祭司 耶何耶大 带管辖军兵的百夫长出来，吩咐他们说：「将她赶到班外，凡跟随她的必用刀杀死！」因为祭司说：「不可在耶和华殿里杀她。」
15So they made way for her; and she went to the entry of the horse gate to the king's house; and they slew her there.
15众兵就闪开，让她去；她走到王宫的 马门 ，便在那里把她杀了。
16And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.
16耶何耶大 与众民和王立约，都要作耶和华的民。

18耶何耶大 派官看守耶和华的殿，是在祭司 利未 人手下。这祭司 利未 人是 大卫 分派在耶和华殿中、照 摩西 律法上所写的，给耶和华献燔祭，又按 大卫 所定的例，欢乐歌唱；
19And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none that was unclean in any thing should enter in.
19且设立守门的把守耶和华殿的各门，无论为何事，不洁净的人都不准进去。
20And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD; and they came through the upper gate unto the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
20又率领百夫长和贵胄，与民间的官长，并国中的众民，请王从耶和华殿下来，由上门进入王宫，立王坐在国位上。
21So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they slew Athaliah with the sword.
21国民都欢乐，合城都安静。众人已将 亚她利雅 用刀杀了。
