1When Athaliah, Ahaziah's mom, saw her kid was dead, she was like, "Time to wipe out the royal fam."

2But Jehosheba, Joram's daughter and Ahaziah's sis, snatched Joash, Ahaziah's son, and hid him and his nurse in the bedroom from Athaliah, so he wasn't taken out.

3He was chillin' with her in the Lord's house for six years while Athaliah was running things.

4In the seventh year, Jehoiada hit up the leaders and the guards, brought them to the Lord's house, made a pact, and showed them the king's son.

5He told them, "Yo, here's the plan: one-third of you on the Sabbath gotta watch the king's crib."

6Another third's at Sur gate, and the last third's at the gate behind the guards. Keep the house safe, no cap.

7And the two-thirds of you that roll out on the Sabbath gotta keep watch around the Lord's house for the king.

8Surround the king, fam, with your weapons ready: if anyone steps outta line, take 'em down. Stick with the king when he goes out and comes in.

9The captains did everything Jehoiada said and brought their crew for the Sabbath vibe check.

10Jehoiada hooked the captains up with King David's spears and shields from the Lord's temple.

11The guards were posted up with their weapons, surrounding the king from one corner of the temple to the other, by the altar and temple.

12He brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, gave him the testimony; they made him king, anointed him, and everyone was like, "God save the king!"

13When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the crowd, she came to check it out in the Lord's temple.

14She saw the king by a pillar, all the princes and trumpeters were with him, and everyone was vibing, blowing trumpets; Athaliah ripped her clothes and screamed, "Treason!"

15Jehoiada told the captains and officers, "Take her out of here and anyone who follows her, take 'em out too. Don't let her be slain in the Lord's house."

16They grabbed her, and she went the way the horses rolled into the king's house; that’s where she got taken out.

17Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, saying they’d be the Lord's squad.

18Everyone went to Baal's house and wrecked it; smashed altars and images, and took out Mattan the priest of Baal right there. Jehoiada set up officers in the Lord's house.

19He gathered the leaders, captains, and the people, brought the king down from the Lord's house, and headed to the king's house through the guard's gate. He took the throne like a boss.

20Everyone was hyped, the city was chill, and they took out Athaliah by the king's house.

21Jehoash was just seven when he started ruling.

1And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

2But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

3And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

4And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the king’s son.

5And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;

6And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.

7And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.

8And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.

9And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

10And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of the Lord.

11And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.

12And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

13And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the Lord.

14And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

15But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.

16And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.

17And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people; between the king also and the people.

18And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.

19And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

20And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.

21Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
