2 Reyes 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 11:4

And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over
hundreds, with the captains and the guard
This was the husband of Jehosheba, who was high priest, ( 2 Chronicles 22:11 ) these

rulers over hundreds
were not those appointed over the people for civil affairs, as by the advice of Jethro, but over the priests and Levites in their courses; five of whom are mentioned by name, and were employed in gathering together the Levites, and the chief of the fathers, throughout all the cities of Judah, ( 2 Chronicles 23:1 2 Chronicles 23:2 ) , and the "captains" here are the heads of the fathers there, who were the heads of the courses they were sent to gather; and the "guard", those of the late king, whom Athaliah had turned out of their post, and took in others in their room, unless rather the temple guard is meant:

and brought them to him into the house of the Lord;
the temple, that part of it where was the court of the priests and Levites:

and made a covenant with them;
to join with him, assist him, and stand by him in the restoration of the king, and the reformation of the kingdom:

and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord;
to keep secrecy, and be faithful to him:

and showed them the king's son;
for the truth of which he could produce his wife, the sister of the late king, and also the nurse of this child with him.

2 Reyes 11:4 In-Context

2 Pero Josaba, hija del rey Joram, hermana de Ocozías, tomó a Joás, hijo de Ocozías, y lo sacó furtivamente de entre los hijos del rey a quienes estaban dando muerte, y lo puso a él y a su nodriza en la alcoba. Así lo escondieron de Atalía, y no le dieron muerte.
3 Y estuvo escondido con ella en la casa del SEÑOR seis años, mientras Atalía reinaba en el país.
4 Pero en el séptimo año Joiada mandó a buscar e hizo venir a los capitanes de centenas de los cariteos y de la guardia, y los hizo venir a él en la casa del SEÑOR. Entonces hizo un pacto con ellos en la casa del SEÑOR y los puso bajo juramento, y les mostró al hijo del rey.
5 Y les dio orden, diciendo: Esto es lo que haréis: una tercera parte de vosotros, los que entran en el día de reposo y hacen la guardia en la casa del rey,
6 harán la guardia en la casa para su defensa; también una tercera parte estará en la puerta Sur, y otra tercera parte en la puerta detrás de los guardias.
