Joash Anointed King in Judah

1Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἐκραταίωσεν Ἰωδᾶε καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους, τὸν Ἀζαρίαν υἱὸν Ἰωρὰμ καὶ τὸν Ἰσμαὴλ υἱὸν Ἰωανὰν καὶ τὸν Ἀζαρίαν υἱὸν Ὠβὴδ καὶ τὸν Μασσαίαν υἱὸν Ἀζειὰ καὶ τὸν Ἐλεισαφὰν υἱὸν Ζαχαριά, μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς οἶκον. 2καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν τὸν Ἰούδαν, καὶ συνήγαγεν τοὺς Λευείτας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ἰούδα καὶ ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ. 3καὶ διέθεντο πᾶσα ἐκκλησία Ἰούδα διαθήκην ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως βασιλευσάτω, καθὼς ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυείδ. 4νῦν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν ποιήσετε· τὸ τρίτον ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰσπορευέσθωσαν τὸ σάββατον, τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευειτῶν, καὶ εἰς τὰς πύλας τῶν εἰσόδων, 5καὶ τρίτον ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου. 6καὶ μὴ εἰσελθέτω εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου ἐὰν μὴ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται καὶ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῶν Λευειτῶν· αὐτοὶ εἰσελεύσονται, ὅτι ἅγιοί εἰσιν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς φυλασσέτω φυλακὰς Κυρίῳ. 7καὶ κυκλώσουσιν τὸν βασιλέα οἱ Λευεῖται κύκλῳ ἀνδρὸς σκεῦος σκεῦος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς τὸν οἶκον ἀποθανεῖται· καὶ ἔσονται μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως εἰσπορευομένου καὶ ἐκπορευομένου.

8καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ Λευεῖται καὶ πᾶς Ἰουδὰ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδᾶε ὁ ἱερεύς· καὶ ἔλαβον ἕκαστος τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς τοῦ σαββάτου ἕως ἐξόδου τοῦ σαββάτου, ὅτι οὐ κατέλυσεν Ἰωδᾶε τὰς ἐφημερίας. 9καὶ ἔδωκεν τὰς μαχαίρας καὶ τοὺς θυρεοὺς καὶ τὰ ὅπλα ἃ ἦν τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυεὶδ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ. 10καὶ ἔστησεν πάντα τὸν λαόν, ἕκαστον ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου τῆς δεξιᾶς ἕως τῆς ὠμίας τῆς ἀριστερᾶς τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ. 11καὶ ἐξήγαγεν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸ βασίλειον καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια· καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν Ἰωδᾶε καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν Ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς.

The Death of Athaliah

12καὶ ἤκουσεν Γοθολία τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ λαοῦ τρεχόντων καὶ ἐξομολογουμένων καὶ αἰνούντων τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου. 13καὶ εἶδεν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τῆς στάσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες, ἄρχοντες περὶ τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ηὐφράνθη καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν, καὶ οἱ ᾄδοντες ἐν τοῖς ὀργάνοις, ᾠδοὶ καὶ ὑμνοῦντες αἶνον· καὶ διέρρηξεν Γοθολία τὴν στολὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἐπιτιθέμενοι ἐπιτίθεσθε. 14καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωδᾶε ὁ ἱερεύς· καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδᾶε ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχοις καὶ τοῖς ἀρχηγοῖς τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐκβάλετε αὐτὴν ἐκτὸς τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ εἰσέλθατε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀποθανέτω μαχαίρᾳ· ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεύς Μὴ ἀποθανέτω ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου. 15καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτῇ ἄνεσιν, καὶ διῆλθεν διὰ τῆς πύλης τῶν ἱππέων τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ.

Jehoiada Restores the Worship of God

16Καὶ διέθετο Ἰωδᾶε διαθήκην ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, εἶναι λαὸν τῷ κυρίῳ. 17καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς εἰς οἶκον Βάαλ, καὶ κατέσπασαν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλέπτυναν, καὶ τὸν Ματθὰν ἱερέα τῆς Βάαλ ἐθανάτωσαν ἐναντίον τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτοῦ. 18καὶ ἐνεχείρησεν Ἰωδᾶε ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς ἱερέων καὶ Λευειτῶν, καὶ ἀνέστησεν τὰς ἐφημερίας τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν λευειτῶν, ἃς διέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ ἀνενέγκαι ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν νόμῳ Μωυσῆ, ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς διὰ χειρὸς Δαυείδ. 19καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ πυλωροὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται ἀκάθαρτος εἰς πᾶν πρᾶγμα. 20καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς πατριάρχας καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν διὰ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἐσωτέρας εἰς τὸν οἰκον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐκάθισαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τῆς βασιλείας. 21καὶ ηὐφράνθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἡ πόλις ἡσύχασεν· καὶ τὴν Γοθολιὰ ἐθανάτωσαν.
