Jehoiada Sets Joash on the Throne of Judah

1 1Now in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took captains of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, and they entered into a covenant with him.
2 They went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the fathers' households of 2Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, 3as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 "This is the thing which you shall do: one third of you, of the priests and Levites 4who come in on the sabbath, shall be gatekeepers
5 and one third shall be at the king's house, and a third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
6 "But let no one enter the house of the LORD except * the priests and 5the ministering Levites; they may enter, for they are holy. And let all the people keep the charge of the LORD.
7 "The Levites will surround * the king, each man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever enters the house, let him be killed. Thus be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out."
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss any of 6the divisions.
