- 1And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.וּבַשָּׁנָ֨ה הַשְּׁבִעִ֜ית הִתְחַזַּ֣ק יְהוֹיָדָ֗ע וַיִּקַּ֣ח אֶת שָׂרֵ֣י הַמֵּא֡וֹת לַעֲזַרְיָ֣הוּ בֶן יְרֹחָ֡ם וּלְיִשְׁמָעֵ֣אל בֶּן יְ֠הוֹחָנָן וְלַֽעֲזַרְיָ֨הוּ בֶן עוֹבֵ֜ד וְאֶת מַעֲשֵׂיָ֧הוּ בֶן עֲדָיָ֛הוּ וְאֶת אֱלִישָׁפָ֥ט בֶּן זִכְרִ֖י עִמּ֥וֹ בַבְּרִֽית
- 2And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.וַיָּסֹ֨בּוּ֙ בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּקְבְּצ֤וּ אֶת הַלְוִיִּם֙ מִכָּל עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וְרָאשֵׁ֥י הָאָב֖וֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אֶל יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם
- 3And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.וַיִּכְרֹ֨ת כָּל הַקָּהָ֥ל בְּרִ֛ית בְּבֵ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים עִם הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הִנֵּ֤ה בֶן הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ יִמְלֹ֔ךְ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה עַל בְּנֵ֥י דָוִֽיד
- 4This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;זֶ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲשׂ֑וּ הַשְּׁלִשִׁ֨ית מִכֶּ֜ם בָּאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֗ת לַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ וְלַלְוִיִּ֔ם לְשֹֽׁעֲרֵ֖י הַסִּפִּֽים
- 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.וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית֙ בְּבֵ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁ֖ית בְּשַׁ֣עַר הַיְס֑וֹד וְכָל הָעָ֔ם בְּחַצְר֖וֹת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה
- 6But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.וְאַל יָב֣וֹא בֵית יְהוָ֗ה כִּ֤י אִם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ וְהַמְשָׁרְתִ֣ים לַלְוִיִּ֔ם הֵ֥מָּה יָבֹ֖אוּ כִּי קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֑מָּה וְכָל הָעָ֔ם יִשְׁמְר֖וּ מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת יְהוָֽה
- 7And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.וְהִקִּיפוּ֩ הַלְוִיִּ֨ם אֶת הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ סָבִ֗יב אִ֚ישׁ וְכֵלָ֣יו בְּיָד֔וֹ וְהַבָּ֥א אֶל הַבַּ֖יִת יוּמָ֑ת וִֽהְי֥וּ אֶת הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בְּבֹא֥וֹ וּבְצֵאתֽוֹ
- 8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.וַיַּעֲשׂ֨וּ הַלְוִיִּ֜ם וְכָל יְהוּדָ֗ה כְּכֹ֣ל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה֮ יְהוֹיָדָ֣ע הַכֹּהֵן֒ וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶת אֲנָשָׁ֔יו בָּאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֔ת עִ֖ם יוֹצְאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת כִּ֣י לֹ֥א פָטַ֛ר יְהוֹיָדָ֥ע הַכֹּהֵ֖ן אֶת הַֽמַּחְלְקֽוֹת
- 9Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.וַיִּתֵּן֩ יְהוֹיָדָ֨ע הַכֹּהֵ֜ן לְשָׂרֵ֣י הַמֵּא֗וֹת אֶת הַֽחֲנִיתִים֙ וְאֶת הַמָּגִנּוֹת֙ וְאֶת הַשְּׁלָטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֑יד אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים
- 10And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.וַיַּעֲמֵ֨ד אֶת כָּל הָעָ֜ם וְאִ֣ישׁ שִׁלְח֣וֹ בְיָד֗וֹ מִכֶּ֨תֶף הַבַּ֤יִת הַיְמָנִית֙ עַד כֶּ֤תֶף הַבַּ֨יִת֙ הַשְּׂמָאלִ֔ית לַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ וְלַבָּ֑יִת עַל הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ סָבִֽיב
- 11Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.וַיּוֹצִ֣יאוּ אֶת בֶּן הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ וַיִּתְּנ֤וּ עָלָיו֙ אֶת הַנֵּ֨זֶר֙ וְאֶת הָ֣עֵד֔וּת וַיַּמְלִ֖יכוּ אֹת֑וֹ וַיִּמְשָׁחֻ֨הוּ֙ יְהוֹיָדָ֣ע וּבָנָ֔יו וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ יְחִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
- 12Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:וַתִּשְׁמַ֣ע עֲתַלְיָ֗הוּ אֶת ק֤וֹל הָעָם֙ הָֽרָצִ֔ים וְהַֽמְהַֽלְלִ֖ים אֶת הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַתָּב֥וֹא אֶל הָעָ֖ם בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה
- 13And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.וַתֵּ֡רֶא וְהִנֵּ֣ה הַמֶּלֶךְ֩ עוֹמֵ֨ד עַֽל עַמּוּד֜וֹ בַּמָּב֗וֹא וְהַשָּׂרִ֣ים וְהַחֲצֹצְרוֹת֮ עַל הַמֶּלֶךְ֒ וְכָל עַ֨ם הָאָ֜רֶץ שָׂמֵ֗חַ וְתוֹקֵ֨עַ֙ בַּחֲצֹ֣צְר֔וֹת וְהַמְשֽׁוֹרֲרִים֙ בִּכְלֵ֣י הַשִּׁ֔יר וּמוֹדִיעִ֖ים לְהַלֵּ֑ל וַתִּקְרַ֤ע עֲתַלְיָ֨הוּ֙ אֶת בְּגָדֶ֔יהָ וַתֹּ֖אמֶר קֶ֥שֶׁר קָֽשֶׁר
- 14Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.וַיּוֹצֵא֩ יְהוֹיָדָ֨ע הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֶת שָׂרֵ֥י הַמֵּא֣וֹת פְּקוּדֵ֣י הַחַ֗יִל וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ הֽוֹצִיא֨וּהָ֙ אֶל מִבֵּ֣ית הַשְּׂדֵר֔וֹת וְהַבָּ֥א אַחֲרֶ֖יהָ יוּמַ֣ת בֶּחָ֑רֶב כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֔ן לֹ֥א תְמִית֖וּהָ בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה
- 15So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ יָדַ֔יִם וַתָּב֛וֹא אֶל מְב֥וֹא שַֽׁעַר הַסּוּסִ֖ים בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיְמִית֖וּהָ שָֽׁם
- 16And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.וַיִּכְרֹ֤ת יְהוֹיָדָע֙ בְּרִ֔ית בֵּינ֕וֹ וּבֵ֥ין כָּל הָעָ֖ם וּבֵ֣ין הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ לִהְי֥וֹת לְעָ֖ם לַיהוָֽה
- 17Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.וַיָּבֹ֨אוּ כָל הָעָ֤ם בֵּית הַבַּ֨עַל֙ וַֽיִּתְּצֻ֔הוּ וְאֶת מִזְבְּחֹתָ֥יו וְאֶת צְלָמָ֖יו שִׁבֵּ֑רוּ וְאֵ֗ת מַתָּן֙ כֹּהֵ֣ן הַבַּ֔עַל הָרְג֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י הַֽמִּזְבְּחֽוֹת
- 18Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.וַיָּשֶׂם֩ יְהוֹיָדָ֨ע פְּקֻדֹּ֜ת בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּיַ֨ד הַכֹּהֲנִ֣ים הַלְוִיִּם֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָלַ֣ק דָּוִיד֮ עַל בֵּ֣ית יְהוָה֒ לְֽהַעֲל֞וֹת עֹל֣וֹת יְהוָ֗ה כַּכָּת֛וּב בְּתוֹרַ֥ת מֹשֶׁ֖ה בְּשִׂמְחָ֣ה וּבְשִׁ֑יר עַ֖ל יְדֵ֥י דָוִֽיד
- 19And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.וַֽיַּעֲמֵד֙ הַשּׁ֣וֹעֲרִ֔ים עַֽל שַׁעֲרֵ֖י בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא יָבֹ֥א טָמֵ֖א לְכָל דָּבָֽר
- 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 high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.וַיִּקַּ֣ח אֶת שָׂרֵ֣י הַמֵּא֡וֹת וְאֶת הָֽאַדִּירִים֩ וְאֶת הַמּֽוֹשְׁלִ֨ים בָּעָ֜ם וְאֵ֣ת כָּל עַ֣ם הָאָ֗רֶץ וַיּ֤וֹרֶד אֶת הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ מִבֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּבֹ֛אוּ בְּתֽוֹךְ שַׁ֥עַר הָֽעֶלְי֖וֹן בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיּוֹשִׁ֨יבוּ֙ אֶת הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ עַ֖ל כִּסֵּ֥א הַמַּמְלָכָֽה
- 21And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.וַיִּשְׂמְח֥וּ כָל עַם הָאָ֖רֶץ וְהָעִ֣יר שָׁקָ֑טָה וְאֶת עֲתַלְיָ֖הוּ הֵמִ֥יתוּ בֶחָֽרֶב

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
