and Ismahel the sonne of Iohanan, Azarias also the sonne of
Obed, and Maasias the sonne of Adaias, and Elisaphat the

2 Who
going about Iuda, gathered together the Leuites out of al the
cities of Iuda, and the princes of the families of Israel, and
they came into Ierusalem.
3 Therfore al the multitude made
a couenant with the king in the house of God: and Ioiada
sayd to them: Behold the kinges sonne shal reigne, as our
Lord hath spoken, vpon the sonnes of Dauid.
4 This note therfore
is the thing which you shal doe.
5 The third part of you
that come to the note Sabbath of the Priestes, and of Leuites,
and of porters shal be in the gates: and a third part at the
kinges house: and a third at the gate, which is called of the
Fundation: but let al the rest of the common people be in the
courtes of the house of our Lord.
6 Neither let anie other
enter into the house of our Lord, but the Priestes, and they
that minister of the Leuites: let them onlie goe in, because
they are sanctified and let al the rest of the multitude obserue
the watches of our Lord.
7 And let the Leuites enuiron the

companies to depart, which were accustomed to succede one

and his sonnes annoynted him: and they wished him wel,
and said: God saue the king.
12 Which thing when Athalia had
heard, to witte, the voice of them that ranne and praysed the

about him, and al the people of the land reioysing, and sounding
with trumpettes, and playing on instrumentes of diuerse
kind, and the voice of them that praysed, she rent her garmentes,
and sayd: Treason, treason.
14 And Ioiada the high
Priest going forth to the centurions, and captaines of the
armie, sayd to them: Bring her forth without the precinct of
the temple, and let her be killed with the sword without. And
the Priest commanded that she should not be killed in the
house of our Lord.
15 And they layd handes vpon her necke:
and when she was entred within the gate of the horses of the
kinges house, they killed her there.
16 And Ioiada made a
couenant betwen himself, and al the people, and the king, that
they would be the people of our Lord.
17 Al the people therfore
entred into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they
brake his altars and note his note images: Mathan also the priest of
Baal they slewe before the altars.
18 And Ioiada appoynted
ouerseers in the house of our Lord, vnder the handes of the
Priestes, & the Leuites, which Dauid distributed in the house
of our Lord: that they should offer holocaustes to our Lord,
as it is writen in the law of Moyses, in ioy and songes, according
to the disposition of Dauid.
19 He appoynted also porters
in the gates of the house of our Lord, that the vncleane in
anie thing should not enter in.
20 And he tooke the centurions,
and the most valiant men and princes of the people, and al the
common people of the land, and they made the king to goe
downe from the house of our Lord, & to enter by the middes
of the vpper gate into the kinges house, and placed him in the
royal throne.
21 And al the people of the land reioysed, & the
