The XXIII. Chapter.
A noteBvt in the seuenth yeare was Ioiada
bolde, and toke the rulers ouer hundreds:
namely Asaria þe; sonne of Ieraham,
Ismael þe; sonne of Iohanan, Asaria
þe; sonne of Obed, Maeseia þe; sonne of Adaia,
and Elisaphat þe; sonne of Sichri with him,
into the couenaunt: and they wente aboute
in Iuda, and broughte þe; Leuites together
out of all the cities of Iuda, and the chefe
fathers of Israel, to come vnto Ierusalem.
And all the c&obar;gregacion made a couenaunt
with the kynge in the house of God, and he
sayde vnto them: Beholde, the kynges sonne
shal be kynge, note eu&ebar; as the LORDE spake c&obar;cernynge
the children of Dauid.
B This is it therfore þt; ye shal do: The thirde
parte of you that entre on the Sabbath,
shalbe amonge the prestes ∧ Leuites, which
are dorekepers at the thresholdes: ∧ one thirde
parte in the kynges house, and one thirde
parte at the grounde porte. But all the people
shalbe in the courtes of the house of the
LORDE, and that no man go in to the house
of the LORDE, excepte the prestes and Leuites
that mynister there, they shal go in: for
they are halowed. And let all þe; people wayte
vpon the LORDE. And the Leuites shal
get them rounde aboute þe; kynge, euery one
-- --
with his weapen in his hande. And who so
els goeth in to þe; house, let him dye. And they
shall be &wt; the kynge wh&abar; he goeth out ∧ in.
C And the Leuites ∧ all Iuda dyd as Ioiada
þe; prest had commaunded, and euery one
toke his men that entred on the Sabbath, &wt;
those þt; wente of on the Sabbath: for Ioiada
þe; prest suffred not those two companies
to parte asunder. And Ioiada þe; prest gaue
the captaynes ouer hundreds speares ∧ shyldes,
and kynge Dauids weapens, which were
in the house of God, and set all the people
euery one &wt; his weapen in his hande, from
the righte corner of the house, vnto the lefte
corner of the altare, and to the house warde
aboute the kynge. And they broughte forth
the kynges sonne, ∧ set the crowne vpon his
heade, and gaue them the note wytnesse, ∧ made
him kynge. And Ioiada &wt; his sonnes anoynted
him, ∧ sayde: God saue the kynge.
D But whan Athalia herde the noyse of þe;
people þt; ranne together and praysed þe; kynge,
she wente forth to the people in to þe; house
of the LORDE, and loked: and beholde, þe;
kynge stode in his place at þe; intraunce, and
the rulers and trompettes aboute þe; kynge:
and all the people of the londe were glad, ∧
blewe the trompes, and there were syngers
þt; coulde playe &wt; all maner of musicall instrumentes.
But she r&ebar;te hir clothes, ∧ sayde:
Sedicion, sedicion. Neuertheles Ioiada þe;
prest gat him forth with the captaynes ouer
hundreds and rulers of the hoost, and sayde
vnto them: Brynge her forth betwene þe; walles,
∧ who so euer foloweth her, shal be slayne
with þe; swerde: for the prest had c&obar;maunded,
that she shulde not be slayne in þe; house
of the LORDE. And they layed handes on
her. And whan she came at the intraunce of
the horsgate of the kynges house, they put
her to death there.
E And Ioiada made a couenaunt betwene
him and all the people, and the kynge, þt; they
shulde be the people of the LORDE. The w&ebar;te
all the people in to the house of Baal, and
destroyed it, ∧ brake downe his altares ∧ ymages,
∧ slewe Mathan the prest of Baal before
the altare. And Ioiada appoynted þe; officers
in the house of the LORDE am&obar;ge the
prestes ∧ Leuites note whom Dauid had ordeyned
for þe; house of the LORDE, to offre burntsacrifices
vnto þe; LORDE, as it is wrytten in
the note lawe of Moses: &wt; ioye ∧ songes made
by Dauid. And þe; porters set he at þe; gates
of þe; house of þe; LORDE, þt; none shulde entre,
which were defiled &wt; eny maner of thinge.
And he toke the captaynes ouer h&ubar;dreds
and the mightie men and lordes of þe; people,
and all the people of the londe, and brought
the kinge downe from the house of the LORDE,
and broughte him thorow the hye porte
of the kynges house, and caused the kinge sit
vpon the seate royall. And all the people of
the l&obar;de were glad, and the cite was at rest.
But Athalia was slayne with the swerde.
