¹亚他利雅弄权（代下22:10-12）

¹And Athaliah [is] mother of Ahaziah, and she hath seen that her son [is] dead, and she riseth, and destroyeth all the seed of the kingdom;

²但约兰王的女儿，亚哈谢的妹妹约示巴，把亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从正要被杀的王子中偷了出来，把他和他的乳母藏在卧室里面；他们把他收藏起来，躲避亚他利雅，免得他被杀死。

²and Jehosheba daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him out of the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, him and his nurse, in the inner part of the bed-chambers, and they hide him from the presence of Athaliah, and he hath not been put to death,

³约阿施和他的乳母在耶和华的殿中躲藏了六年；亚他利雅却作王统治那地。

³and he is with her, in the house of Jehovah, hiding himself, six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.

⁴耶何耶大等人立约辅助王子（代下23:1-11）在第七年，耶何耶大派人把迦利人和卫兵的众百夫长带来，领他们进入耶和华的殿中，和他们立约，使他们在耶和华的殿里起誓，然后把王子带出来和他们见面。

⁴And in the seventh year hath Jehoiada sent and taketh the heads of the hundreds, of the executioners and of the runners, and bringeth them in unto him, to the house of Jehovah, and maketh with them a covenant, and causeth them to swear in the house of Jehovah, and sheweth them the son of the king,

⁵他又吩咐他们说：“你们要这样作：你们在安息日值班的，三分之一要守卫王宫；

⁵and commandeth them, saying, `This [is] the thing that ye do; The third of you [are] going in on the sabbath, and keepers of the charge of the house of the king,

⁶三分之一要在苏珥门；三分之一要在卫兵院的后门；你们要轮班把守王宫。

⁶and the third [is] at the gate of Sur, and the third at the gate behind the runners, and ye have kept the charge of the house pulled down;

⁷你们在安息日不用当值的两班人，要为王的缘故守卫耶和华的殿。

⁷and two parts of you, all going out on the sabbath — they have kept the charge of the house of Jehovah about the king,

⁸你们要在四周围护着王，各人手中要拿着自己的武器。擅自闯入班次的，必被处死。王出入的时候，你们要紧随左右。”

⁸and ye have compassed the king round about, each with his weapons in his hand, and he who is coming unto the ranges is put to death; and be ye with the king in his going out and in his coming in.`

⁹于是众百夫长照着耶何耶大祭司的一切吩咐去行。他们各自率领人马，无论在安息日值班或不用当值的，都来到耶何耶大祭司那里。

⁹And the heads of the hundreds do according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and take each his men going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, and come in unto Jehoiada the priest,

¹⁰耶何耶大就把藏在耶和华殿里，属于大卫王的矛枪和盾牌交给众百夫长。

¹⁰and the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the spears and the shields that king David had, that [are] in the house of Jehovah.

¹¹各卫兵手持兵器，从殿的右面到殿的左面，面对祭坛和殿，围绕着王侍立。

¹¹And the runners stand, each with his weapons in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of the house, by the altar and by the house, by the king round about;

¹²耶何耶大领王子出来，把王冠戴在他的头上，又把约书交给他。他们就拥立他为王，用膏膏他，并且拍掌，说：“愿王万岁！”

¹²and he bringeth out the son of the king, and putteth on him the crown, and the testimony, and they make him king, and anoint him, and smite the hand, and say, `Let the king live.`

¹³亚他利雅被杀（代下23:12-15）亚他利雅听见卫兵和民众的声音，就进到耶和华的殿、众民那里去。

¹³And Athaliah heareth the voice of the runners [and] of the people, and she cometh in unto the people, to the house of Jehovah,

¹⁴她看见王子按着规例站在柱旁那里，首领和号手在王的旁边，当地所有的人民欢乐吹号。亚他利雅于是撕裂衣服，呼叫：“反了！反了！”

¹⁴and looketh, and lo, the king is standing by the pillar, according to the ordinance, and the heads, and the trumpets, [are] by the king, and all the people of the land are rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and calleth, `Conspiracy! conspiracy!`

¹⁵耶何耶大祭司吩咐众百夫长，就是统领军兵的，对他们说：“把她从各班军兵中赶出去，跟随她的，都要用刀杀死。”因为祭司说：“不可在耶和华的殿内杀死她。”

¹⁵And Jehoiada the priest commandeth the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, `Bring her out unto the outside of the ranges, and him who is going after her, put to death by the sword:` for the priest had said, `Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.`

¹⁶于是他们下手拿住她；她回到王宫的马门的时候，就在那里被人杀死。

¹⁶And they make for her sides, and she entereth the way of the entering in of the horses to the house of the king, and is put to death there.

¹⁷耶何耶大的改革（代下23:16-21）耶何耶大又使王和人民与耶和华立约，好使他们作耶和华的人民；又使王与人民立约。

¹⁷And Jehoiada maketh the covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, to be for a people to Jehovah, and between the king and the people.

¹⁸然后当地所有的人民都来到巴力庙，把它拆毁，把它的坛和像完全打碎，又在祭坛前把巴力的祭司玛坦杀了。耶何耶大祭司又设立官员管理耶和华的殿。

¹⁸And all the people of the land go in to the house of Baal, and break it down, its altars and its images they have thoroughly broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars; and the priest setteth inspectors over the house of Jehovah,

¹⁹他又率领众百夫长、迦利人、卫兵和当地所有的人民，护送王从耶和华的殿下来，经卫兵的门进入王宫。这样，约阿施就坐上了王位。

¹⁹and taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they bring down the king from the house of Jehovah, and come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the king, and he sitteth on the throne of the kings.

²⁰当地所有的人民都欢乐，阖城平静；至于亚他利雅，他们在王宫用刀把她杀死了。

²⁰And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city [is] quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword in the house of the king;

²¹约阿施作王的时候，只有七岁。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为12:1）

²¹a son of seven years is Jehoash in his reigning.
