¶ The .xxiii. Chapter. ¶ Ioas the sonne of Ahaziahu is made kynge. Athaliahu is put to deeth.

A   And note in the seuenth yere Iehoiada beynge bolde, toke the captaynes of hundredes, Azariahu the sonne of Ieroham, and Ismael the sonne of Iehohanam, Azariahu the sonne of Obed, Maasiahu the sonne of Adaiahu, and Elisaphat the sonne of zichri, and made a bonde with them. And they went aboute in Iuda, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cyties of Iuda and the auncyent fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusalem. And all the congregacyon made a bonde with the kynge in the house of God. And he sayd vnto them: beholde, the kynges sonne must raygne, note as the Lorde hath sayde of the chyldren of Dauid.

This is it therfore that ye shall do: The thyrde parte of you shall (on the Sabbath) B    come to the preastes, Leuites, and kepers of the porches. And another thyrde parte shalbe by þe; kynges house, and another thyrde parte shalbe at the gate of the foundacyon, and all the people shalbe in the note courtes of the house of the Lorde. But ther shall none come into the house of the Lorde, saue the preastes ∧ they that ministre vnto the Leuites. They shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall kepe the watch of the Lord. And the Leuites shall c&obar;pase the kynge rounde about and euery man shall haue hys wepon in hys h&abar;de: and what other man soeuer doth come into the house of the Lorde, he shall be slayne: and let them be with the kynge, whan he c&obar;meth in, and whan he goeth out.

And the Leuites and all Iuda dyd accordynge to all thynges þt; Iehoiada the preaste had c&obar;maunded, ∧ toke euery man hys men, þt; came in on the Sabboth, &wt; th&ebar; þt; went out on the Sabboth daye: nether did Iehoiada þe; preast let the c&obar;panies departe. C   And Iehoiada þe; preast deliuered to the captaynes of h&ubar;dredes, speares, shyldes, and boukelars, that had pertayned to kynge Dauid, and were in þe; house of God. And he set all the people euery m&abar; hauyng his wep&obar; in his hande, fr&obar; the ryght syde of the t&ebar;ple, to the left syde of the temple, alonge by the aulter and the temple, rounde aboute the kynge. And they brought out the kynges sonne, and put vpon him the crowne, and &rhand; note the testimonie, (and they gaue hym in hys hande, the lawe that was to be kepte) and made him kynge. And Iehoiada ∧ his sonnes annoynted him, ∧ sayde: God saue the kynge.

When Athaliahu hearde the noyse of the people, runninge ∧ praysinge the kynge, she came to þe; people into the house of the Lorde. And she loked, and beholde, the kynge stode in his place at the enterynge in, ∧ the Lordes and the trompettes were by the kynge, ∧ all the people of the lande reioysed, blowinge &wt; trompettes, ∧ dyd playe with instrumentes of musycke, ∧ taught to synge ∧ prayse. But Athaliahu rent her clothes, and sayed: treason, treason. And Iehoiada the preaste went out to the captaynes of h&ubar;dredes that were D    gouerners of the hoste, ∧ sayde vnto th&ebar;: haue her out without the dore of the temple: and whoso foloweth her, let hym be slayne with the swerde. For þe; preaste sayde þt; they shulde not sley her in the house of þe; Lorde. And they layde handes on her, tyll she was come to the entrynge of the horsgate besyde the kynges house and there they slue her.

noteAnd Iehoiada made a bonde betwene hym and all the people and the kynge, that they shulde be the Lordes people. And all the people w&ebar;t to the house of Baal, ∧ destroyed it, and brake hys aulters and his ymages, ∧ slue Mathan the preaste of Baal before the aulters. And Iehoiada put the offyces for the house of the Lord vnder the h&abar;de of the preastes and Leuites, note as Dauid had distrybuted them in the house of the Lorde, to offer burnt offerynges vnto the Lorde, note as it is wrytten in the lawe of Moses, with reioysynge and syngynge, as it was ordeyned by Dauid. And he set porters by þe; gates of the house of the Lorde, that none which was vncleane in any thynge shulde entre in.

And he toke the captaynes of hundredes ∧ all the nobles, and the gouernoures of the people, ∧ all the folke of the lande, and caused the kynge to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they came thorowe the hye gate into the kynges house, and set the kynge vpon the seate of the kyngdome. And all the people of þe; lande reioysed, and the cytie was in tr&abar;quillite, after þt; they had slayne Athaliahu with the swerde.
