2 Tollens autem Iosaba filia regis Ioram soror Ochoziae Ioas filium Ochoziae furata est eum de medio filiorum regis, qui interficiebantur, et nutricem eius in cubiculo lectulorum, et absconderunt eum a facie Athaliae, ut non interficeretur.	2 But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, so that he was not slain.

6 tertia autem pars ad portam Sur, et tertia pars sit ad portam, quae est post habitaculum cursorum, et custodietis excubitum domus per vices.	6 Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath, and keep the watch of the king's house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur: and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers: and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa.
7 Duae vero partes e vobis omnes egredientes sabbato custodiant excubias domus Domini circum regem.	7 But let two parts of you, all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.
8 Et vallabitis eum habentes arma in manibus vestris; si quis autem ingressus fuerit saeptum templi, interficiatur; eritisque cum rege introeunte et egrediente.	8 And you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king coming in and going out.
9 Et fecerunt centuriones iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat eis Ioiada sacerdos, et assumentes singuli viros suos, qui ingrediebantur sabbato, cum his, qui egrediebantur sabbato, venerunt ad Ioiada sacerdotem.	9 And the centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada the priest.

12 Produxitque filium regis et dedit ei diadema et testimonium; feceruntque eum regem et unxerunt et plaudentes manu dixerunt: “ Vivat rex! ”.	12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands. they said, God save the king.
13 Audivit autem Athalia vocem populi et ingressa ad turbas in templum Domini	13 And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,
14 vidit regem stantem super tribunal iuxta morem et principes et tubas prope eum omnemque populum terrae laetantem et canentem tubis; et scidit vestimenta sua clamavitque: “ Coniuratio, coniuratio! ”.	14 She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
15 Praecepit autem Ioiada sacerdos centurionibus, qui erant super exercitum, et ait eis: “ Educite eam extra consaepta templi, et, quicumque secutus eam fuerit, feriatur gladio ”. Dixerat enim sacerdos: “ Non occidatur in templo Domini ”.	15 But Joiada commended the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.
16 Imposueruntque ei manus et impegerunt eam per viam introitus Equorum in palatium, et interfecta est ibi.	16 And they laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, and she was slain there.
17 Pepigit igitur Ioiada foedus inter Dominum et inter regem et inter populum, ut esset populus Domini, et inter regem et populum.	17 And Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, and between the king and the people.
18 Ingressusque est omnis populus terrae templum Baal, et destruxerunt illud et aras eius et imagines contriverunt valide; Matthan quoque sacerdotem Baal occiderunt coram altaribus. Et posuit sacerdos custodias in domo Domini	18 And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in the house of the Lord.
19 tulitque centuriones et Cares et cursores et omnem populum terrae; deduxeruntque regem de domo Domini. Et venerunt per viam portae Cursorum in palatium, et sedit super thronum regum.	19 And he took the centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace. and he sat on the throne of the kings.
