And|strong="H3068" Athaliah|strong="H6271" reigned|strong="H4427" over|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" land.

9 And|strong="H3967" the|strong="H3605" captains|strong="H8269" over|strong="H8269" hundreds|strong="H3967" did|strong="H6213" according to|strong="H3318" all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" Jehoiada|strong="H3077" the|strong="H3605" priest|strong="H3548" commanded|strong="H6680"; and|strong="H3967" they|strong="H6213" took|strong="H3947" every|strong="H3605" man|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" men|strong="H6213", those|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" were|strong="H8269" to|strong="H3318" come|strong="H3318" in|strong="H6213" on|strong="H3318" the|strong="H3605" sabbath|strong="H7676", with|strong="H5973" those|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" were|strong="H8269" to|strong="H3318" go|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" on|strong="H3318" the|strong="H3605" sabbath|strong="H7676", and|strong="H3967" came|strong="H3318" to|strong="H3318" Jehoiada|strong="H3077" the|strong="H3605" priest|strong="H3548".

13 And|strong="H3068" when|strong="H8085" Athaliah|strong="H6271" heard|strong="H8085" the|strong="H8085" noise|strong="H6963" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H8085" guard|strong="H7323" and of the|strong="H8085" people|strong="H5971", she came|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H8085" people|strong="H5971" into the|strong="H8085" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Jehovah|strong="H3068":

Then|strong="H2009" Athaliah|strong="H6271" rent|strong="H7167" her|strong="H3605" clothes, and|strong="H4428" cried|strong="H7121", Treason|strong="H7195"! treason|strong="H7195"!
15 And|strong="H3967" Jehoiada|strong="H3077" the|strong="H3588" priest|strong="H3548" commanded|strong="H6680" the|strong="H3588" captains|strong="H8269" of|strong="H1004" hundreds|strong="H3967" that|strong="H3588" were|strong="H8269" set|strong="H6485" over|strong="H8269" the|strong="H3588" host|strong="H2428", and|strong="H3967" said|strong="H3318" unto|strong="H3068" them|strong="H6680", Have|strong="H3068" her|strong="H3318" forth|strong="H3318" between the|strong="H3588" ranks|strong="H7713"; and|strong="H3967" him|strong="H6680" that|strong="H3588" followeth her|strong="H3318" slay|strong="H4191" with|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3588" sword|strong="H2719". For|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" priest|strong="H3548" said|strong="H3318", Let|strong="H6485" her|strong="H3318" not|strong="H3588" be|strong="H4191" slain|strong="H4191" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Jehovah|strong="H3068".
16 So|strong="H4191" they|strong="H8033" made|strong="H7760" way|strong="H1870" for|strong="H3027" her|strong="H7760"; and|strong="H4428" she went|strong="H4428" by|strong="H3027" the|strong="H7760" way|strong="H1870" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H7760" horses|strong="H5483"’ entry|strong="H3996" to|strong="H4191" the|strong="H7760" king|strong="H4428"’s house|strong="H1004": and|strong="H4428" there|strong="H8033" was|strong="H4428" she slain|strong="H4191".

And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" priest|strong="H3548" appointed|strong="H7760" officers|strong="H6486" over|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Jehovah|strong="H3068".
19 And|strong="H3967" he|strong="H3068" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3605" captains|strong="H8269" over|strong="H5921" hundreds|strong="H3967", and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H3605" Carites|strong="H3746", and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H3605" guard|strong="H7323", and|strong="H3967" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" land; and|strong="H3967" they|strong="H3068" brought|strong="H3947" down|strong="H3381" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" from|strong="H3381" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H4428" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3967" came|strong="H3381" by|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" way|strong="H1870" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" gate|strong="H8179" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" guard|strong="H7323" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428"’s house|strong="H1004". And|strong="H3967" he|strong="H3068" sat|strong="H3427" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" throne|strong="H3678" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" kings|strong="H4428".
20 So|strong="H4191" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" land rejoiced|strong="H8055", and|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" city|strong="H5892" was|strong="H5892" quiet|strong="H8252".
