DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
for they were his counselors to his destruction after the
death of his abba.
5 He had his halacha also after their counsel, and went
with Yahuram the son of Achav melech of Yisrael to
war against Haza-El melech of Aram at Ramot-Gilad:
and the Arameans wounded Yoram.
6 And he returned to be healed in Yezreel because of
the wounds that were given him at Ramah, when he
fought with Haza-El melech of Aram. And Azaryah the
son of Yahuram melech of Yahudah went down to see
Yahuram the son of Achav at Yezre-El, because he was
sick.
7 And the destruction of Achazyahu was from Elohim
by coming to Yoram: for when he was come, he went
out with Yahuram against Yahu the son of Nimshi,
whom vuvh had anointed to cut off Beit Achav.
8 And it came to pass, that, when Yahu was executing
mishpat upon Beit Achav, and found the rulers of
Yahudah, and the sons of the brothers of Achazyahu,
that served Achazyahu, he killed them.
9 And he sought for Achazyahu: and they caught him,
for he was hidden in Shomron, and brought him to
Yahu: and when they had slain him, they buried him
properly: Because, they said, he is the son of
Yahushaphat, who sought vuvh with all his lev. So the
bayit of Achazyahu had no power to still keep the
malchut.
10 But when Athalyah the mother of Achazyahu saw
that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the
royal zera of Beit Yahudah.
11 But Yahushavath, the daughter of the melech, took
Yoash the son of Achazyahu, and stole him from among
the melech’s sons that were slain, and put him and his
nurse in a bedroom. So Yahushavath, the daughter of
melech Yahuram, the wife of Yahuyadah the kohen, for
she was the sister of Achazyahu, hid him from
Athalyah, so that she killed him not.
12 And he was with them hidden in the Bayit of Elohim
six years: and Athalyah reigned over the land. 4333

And in the seventh year Yahuyadah strengthened
himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azaryahu
the son of Yeroham, and Yishmael the son of
Yahochanan, and Azaryahu the son of Oved, and
Maaseyah the son of Adayah, and Elishaphat the son of
Zichri into brit with him.
2 And they went about in Yahudah, and gathered the
Lewiym out of all the cities of Yahudah, and the heads
of the ahvot of Yisrael, and they came to
Yahrushalayim.
3 And the entire congregation made a brit with the
melech in the Bayit of Elohim. And he said to them,
See, the melech’s son shall reign, as vuvh has said of the
sons of Dawid.
4 This is the thing that you shall do; A third part of you
entering on the Shabbat, from the Kohanim and of the
Lewiym, shall be gatekeepers for the doors;
5 And a third part shall be at the melech’s bayit; and a
third part at the Foundation Gate: and all the people
shall be in the courts of the Bayit of vuvh.
6 But let none come into the Bayit of vuvh, except the
Kohanim, and those that serve from the Lewiym; they
shall go in, for they are kadosh: but all the people shall
- 576 -
guard the charge of vuvh.
7 And the Lewiym shall surround the melech all round,
every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever
else comes into the bayit, he shall be put to death: but
you be with the melech when he comes in, and when he
goes out.
8 So the Lewiym and all Yahudah did according to all
things that Yahuyadah the kohen had commanded, and
took every man his men that were to come in on the
Shabbat, with them that were to go out on the Shabbat:
for Yahuyadah the kohen did not dismiss the priestly
divisions.
9 Moreover Yahuyadah the kohen delivered to the
captains of hundreds spears, and large shields, and
smaller shields, that had been melech Dawid’s, which
were in the Bayit of Elohim.
10 And he set all the people, every man having his
weapon in his hand, from the right side of the Bayit, to
the left side of the Bayit, along by the altar, and the
Bayit, by the melech all around.
11 Then they brought out the melech’s son, and put
upon him the keter, and gave him the testimony, and
made him melech. And Yahuyadah and his sons
anointed him, and said, Let the melech live!
12 Now when Athalyahu heard the noise of the people
running and praising the melech, she came to the people
into the Bayit of vuvh:
13 And she looked, and, see, the melech stood at his
pillar at the entering in, and the rulers and the shofars by
the melech: and all the people of the land had gilah, and
sounded with shofars, also the singers with instruments
of music, and such as taught to sing and offer tehilla.
Then Athalyahu tore her clothes, and said, Treason,
Treason.
14 Then Yahuyadah the kohen brought out the captains
of hundreds that were set over the army, and said to
them, Take her forth from the ranks: and whoever
follows her, let him be slain with the sword. For the
kohen said, Slay her not in the Bayit of vuvh.
15 So they laid hands on her; and when she came to the
entering of the Horse Gate by the melech’s bayit, they
killed her there.
16 And Yahuyadah made a brit between him, and
between all the people, and between the melech that
they should be vuvh’s people.
17 Then all the people went to the bayit of Ba’al, and
broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in
pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Ba’al before the
altars.
18 Also Yahuyadah appointed the offices of the Bayit of
vuvh by the hand of the Kohanim the Lewiym, whom
Dawid had distributed in the Bayit of vuvh, to offer the
burnt offerings of vuvh, as it is written in the Torah of
Moshe, with gilah and with shirim, as Dawid ordained
it.
19 And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the Bayit
of vuvh, that none who were unclean in any way should
enter in.
20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the
nobles, and the rulers of the people, and all the people
of the land, and brought down the melech from the
Bayit of vuvh: and they came through the high gate into
the melech’s bayit, and set the melech upon the kesay of
