2 Reyes 11
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Athalie, mère d'Achazia, voyant son fils mort, se mit à exterminer toute la race royale.
2Mais Josabeth, fille du roi Joram et sœur d'Achazia, se saisit de Joas, fils d'Achazia, l'arracha furtivement d'entre les fils du roi, qui avaient été mis à mort, l'installa, lui et sa nourrice, dans la chambre des lits. On le déroba aux regards d'Athalie, et ainsi il échappa à la mort.
3Il resta avec elle dans le temple de l'Eternel, se tenant caché pendant six ans, tandis qu'Athalie régnait sur le pays.
4La septième année, Joïada envoya convoquer les centeniers des Cariens et des gardes et les fit entrer près de lui dans le temple de l'Eternel. Il conclut un pacte avec eux et leur fit prêter serment dans la maison de l'Eternel; puis il leur montra le fils du roi.
5Il leur donna les instructions suivantes: "Voici ce que vous ferez: un tiers d'entre vous, de ceux qui prennent la semaine, montera la garde à la maison du roi,
6un tiers à la porte de Sour et un tiers à la porte placée derrière les coureurs; vous exercerez votre surveillance sur la maison, du côté de l'entrée.
7Deux sections, composées de tous ceux qui quittent le service de la semaine, monteront la garde au temple de l'Eternel, à la disposition du roi.
8Vous ferez cercle autour du roi, les armes à la main, et quiconque voudra fendre les rangs sera mis à mort; vous accompagnerez le roi dans toutes ses démarches."
9Les centeniers exécutèrent fidèlement les ordres donnés par Joïada, le prêtre; ils prirent chacun leurs hommes, ceux qui commençaient et ceux qui avaient fini la semaine, et ils vinrent près de Joïada, le prêtre.
10Le prêtre délivra aux centeniers les lances et les boucliers déposés par David dans le temple de l'Eternel.
11Les gardes, armes en main, rangés en partant du côté droit jusqu'au côté gauche du temple, devant l'autel et le sanctuaire, entouraient le roi.
12Joïada fit sortir le fils du roi et lui remit la couronne et le "témoignage"; on le proclama roi, on l'oignit, et, au milieu des applaudissements, on cria: "Vive le roi!"
13Athalie, entendant la voix des gardes et du peuple, accourut au milieu de la foule dans le temple de l'Eternel.
14Elle regarda et vit ce spectacle: le roi debout sur l'estrade selon l'usage, les chefs et les trompettes acclamant le roi, toute la foule manifestant sa joie en sonnant de la trompette. A cette vue, Athalie déchira ses vêtements et s'écria: "Trahison, trahison!"
15Joïada, le pontife, adressa aux centeniers qui commandaient les troupes l'ordre suivant: "Faites-la sortir des rangs, et qui la suivra, qu'on l'exécute avec le glaive!" Car le pontife avait recommandé qu'elle ne fût pas mise à mort dans la maison de l'Eternel.
16On fit place devant elle, et elle prit le chemin de l'entrée des chevaux pour se rendre au palais royal; là, elle fut mise à mort.
17Joïada conclut un pacte entre l'Eternel, le roi et le peuple, celui-ci devenant le peuple de l'Eternel, et entre le roi et le peuple.
18Toute la foule pénétra dans le temple de Baal et le saccagea; on brisa complètement ses autels et ses statues, on tua devant les autels Mâtan, prêtre de Baal. Le pontife plaça des surveillants dans la maison de l'Eternel.
19Sur son ordre, les centeniers, les Cariens, les gardes et les gens du peuple conduisirent le roi de la maison de l'Eternel, par le chemin de la porte des gardes, au palais royal; là, il s'assit sur le trône des rois.
20Tout le peuple se réjouit et la ville retrouva le calme. Quant à Athalie, on l'avait fait mourir par le glaive dans le palais royal.

Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ATHALÍA madre de Ochôzías, viendo que su hijo era muerto, levantóse, y destruyó toda la simiente real.
2Pero tomando Josaba hija del rey Joram, hermana de Ochôzías, á Joas hijo de Ochôzías, sacólo furtivamente de entre los hijos del rey, que se mataban, y ocultólo de delante de Athalía, á él y á su ama, en la cámara de las camas, y así no lo mataron.
3Y estuvo con ella escondido en la casa de Jehová seis años: y Athalía fué reina sobre el país.
4Mas al séptimo año envió Joiada, y tomó centuriones, capitanes, y gente de la guardia, y metiólos consigo en la casa de Jehová: é hizo con ellos liga, juramentándolos en la casa de Jehová; y mostróles al hijo del rey.
5Y mandóles, diciendo: Esto es lo que habéis de hacer: la tercera parte de vosotros, los que entrarán el sábado, tendrán la guardia de la casa del rey;
6Y la otra tercera parte estará á la puerta del sur, y la otra tercera parte á la puerta del postigo de los de la guardia: así guardaréis la casa, para que no sea allanada.
7Y las dos partes de vosotros, es á saber, todos los que salen el sábado, tendréis la guarda de la casa de Jehová junto al rey.
8Y estaréis alrededor del rey de todas partes, teniendo cada uno sus armas en las manos, y cualquiera que entrare dentro de estos órdenes, sea muerto. Y habéis de estar con el rey cuando saliere, y cuando entrare.
9Los centuriones pues, hicieron todo como el sacerdote Joiada les mandó: y tomando cada uno los suyos, es á saber, los que habían de entrar el sábado, y los que habían salido el sábado, viniéronse á Joiada el sacerdote.
10Y el sacerdote dió á los centuriones las picas y los escudos que habían sido del rey David, que estaban en la casa de Jehová.
11Y los de la guardia se pusieron en orden, teniendo cada uno sus armas en sus manos, desde el lado derecho de la casa hasta el lado izquierdo, junto al altar y el templo, en derredor del rey.
12Sacando luego Joiada al hijo del rey, púsole la corona y el testimonio, é hiciéronle rey ungiéndole; y batiendo las manos dijeron: ¡Viva el rey!
13Y oyendo Athalía el estruendo del pueblo que corría, entró al pueblo en el templo de Jehová;
14Y como miró, he aquí el rey que estaba junto á la columna, conforme á la costumbre, y los príncipes y los trompetas junto al rey; y que todo el pueblo del país hacía alegrías, y que tocaban las trompetas. Entonces Athalía, rasgando sus vestidos, clamó á voz en grito: ¡Traición, traición!
15Mas el sacerdote Joiada mandó á los centuriones que gobernaban el ejército, y díjoles: Sacadla fuera del recinto del templo, y al que la siguiere, matadlo á cuchillo. (Porque el sacerdote dijo que no la matasen en el templo de Jehová.)
16Diéronle pues lugar, y como iba el camino por donde entran los de á caballo á la casa del rey, allí la mataron.
17Entonces Joiada hizo alianza entre Jehová y el rey y el pueblo, que serían pueblo de Jehová: y asimismo entre el rey y el pueblo.
18Y todo el pueblo de la tierra entró en el templo de Baal, y derribáronlo: asimismo despedazaron enteramente sus altares y sus imágenes, y mataron á Mathán sacerdote de Baal delante de los altares. Y el sacerdote puso guarnición sobre la casa de Jehová.
19Después tomó los centuriones, y capitanes, y los de la guardia, y á todo el pueblo de la tierra, y llevaron al rey desde la casa de Jehová, y vinieron por el camino de la puerta de los de la guardia á la casa del rey; y sentóse el rey sobre el trono de los reyes.
20Y todo el pueblo de la tierra hizo alegrías, y la ciudad estuvo en reposo, habiendo sido Athalía muerta á cuchillo junto á la casa del rey.
21Era Joas de siete años cuando comenzó á reinar.
King James Version
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.
World English Bible
1Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
2But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
4In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the LORD’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in the LORD’s house, and showed them the king’s son.
5He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
6a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
7The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the LORD’s house around the king.
8You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”
9The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the LORD’s house.
11The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
12Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
13When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;
14and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
15Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”
16So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
17Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also between the king and the people.
18All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the LORD’s house.
19He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the LORD’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
20So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.
21Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
