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."
