1And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
1耶何耶大等人立約輔助王子（王下11:4~12）到了第七年，耶何耶大奮勇圖強，召來耶羅罕的兒子亞撒利雅、約哈難的兒子以實瑪利、俄備得的兒子亞撒利雅、亞大雅的兒子瑪西雅和細基利的兒子以利沙法等幾位百夫長，和他們立約。
2And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
2他們就走遍猶大，從猶大各城召集利未人和以色列各家族的首領；他們就來到耶路撒冷。
3And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
3全體會眾在 神的殿裡與王立約。耶何耶大對他們說：“王的兒子應當按照耶和華應許大衛的子孫的話作王。
4This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
4你們要這樣行：你們中間每逢安息日來值班的祭司和利未人，三分之一要把守各門；
5And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
5三分之一要在王宮，三分之一要在基址門；全體人民都要在耶和華殿的院子裡。
6But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
6除了祭司和供職的利未人以外，任何人不得進入耶和華的殿，只有他們可以進去，因為他們是分別為聖的；全體人民都要遵守耶和華的吩咐。
7And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
7利未人要在周圍環繞君王，各人手裡拿著武器；擅自進殿的，都必被處死；王出入的時候，你們都要隨著他。”
8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
8利未人和猶大眾人都照著耶何耶大祭司吩咐的一切去行；他們各人帶著在安息日值班或在安息日下班的人來，因為耶何耶大祭司不准他們下班。
9Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
9於是耶何耶大祭司把 神的殿裡，原本屬於大衛王的矛槍、大盾和小盾，交給了眾百夫長；
10And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
10他又分派眾民，守衛在祭壇和殿的四周，從殿的右面到殿的左面，環繞著王。
11Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
11於是他們把王子領出來，給他戴上王冠，又把約書交給他，立他為王；耶何耶大和他的眾子用膏膏他，並且說：“願王萬歲！”
12Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
12亞他利雅被殺（王下11:13~16）亞他利雅聽見人民奔跑和讚美王的聲音，就進了耶和華的殿，到眾民那裡去。
13And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
13她一觀看，見王站在殿門口的柱旁，眾官長和吹號的人在王的周圍；國民都歡樂吹號，又有歌唱的人用各種樂器領導眾人歌頌。於是亞他利雅撕裂衣服，說：“反了！反了！”
14Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
14耶何耶大祭司把管轄軍隊的眾百夫長叫出來，對他們說：“把她從各班次中間趕出去；跟隨她的人，都要用刀殺死。”因為祭司說：“不可在耶和華的殿內殺死她。”
15So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
15她走到王宮的馬門入口的時候，眾兵就把她拿住，在那裡把她殺死了。
16And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
16耶何耶大的改革（王下11:17~20）耶何耶大與眾民和王立約，要他們作耶和華的子民。
17Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
17於是眾民都去到巴力廟，把廟拆毀，打碎祭壇和偶像，又在祭壇前殺了巴力的祭司瑪坦。
18Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
18耶何耶大把看守耶和華殿的責任，交在利未支派的祭司手裡；這些利未支派的祭司是大衛分派在耶和華的殿中，照著摩西的律法所記的，給耶和華獻燔祭，又照著大衛所定的，歡樂歌唱。
19And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
19他又設立守門的看守耶和華殿的各門，無論為了甚麼事，不潔淨的人，都不能進去。
20And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
20他率領百夫長、貴族、民間的官長和國民，又把王從耶和華的殿領下來，從“上門”進入王宮，擁立王坐在王位上。
21And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
21於是全國的人民都歡樂，全城也都寧靜；因為他們把亞他利雅用刀殺了。
