In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him. 1Sa 18:32Ch 15:122Ki 11:4-20Neh 9:38 They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. 2Ch 11:13-171Ch 15:121Ch 24:62Ch 21:2Eph 5:15Mat 10:16Psa 112:5 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada 1 said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David. 2Ch 21:72Ch 6:162Sa 7:121Ki 2:42Ch 7:182Ki 11:171Ch 11:31Ch 9:9-27 This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds. 1Ch 23:3-61Ch 24:3-61Ch 26:13-161Ch 9:25Luk 1:8-9 A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house. 2Ki 11:5-6Act 3:2Ezk 44:2-3Ezk 46:2-3 But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions. 1Ch 23:28-322Ki 11:6-7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.” 2Ki 11:8-9Exo 19:12-13Exo 21:14Num 3:10Num 3:38
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift. 1Ch 24:1-262Ki 11:9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house. 1Sa 21:92Sa 8:7 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king. 2Ch 6:122Ki 11:11Exo 40:6 Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!” 1Sa 10:24Exo 25:162Ki 11:12Deu 17:18-20Psa 89:391Ki 1:341Ki 1:391Sa 10:1
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house. 2Ki 11:13-162Ki 9:32-37 Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!” Pro 29:21Ch 12:401Ch 15:16-221Ch 15:241Ch 25:1-81Ki 1:39-401Ki 18:17-182Ch 34:31
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.” 2Ki 10:252Ki 11:152Ki 11:8Exo 21:14Ezk 9:7 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there. Neh 3:282Ch 22:10Jer 31:40Jas 2:13Jdg 1:7Mat 7:2Psa 5:6Psa 55:23
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people. 2Ch 29:102Ki 11:17Neh 9:382Ch 15:122Ch 15:142Ch 34:31-32Deu 26:17-19Deu 29:1-15 All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 1Ki 18:402Ch 34:42Ch 34:72Ki 10:25-282Ki 11:18-192Ki 18:4Deu 12:3Deu 13:5-9 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered. 2Ch 5:5Num 28:1-311Ch 23:1-241Ch 23:28-311Ch 25:1-312Ch 29:25 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in. 1Ch 26:1-321Ch 9:22-24 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. 2Ki 11:192Ki 11:9-102Ki 15:35 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword. 2Ki 11:20Pro 11:10Psa 58:10-11Rev 18:20Rev 19:1-4
