Anden Kongebog 11
1 Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede al kongelig Sæd.
And when 'Athalyah the mother of Achazyahu saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Men Joseba, Kong Jorams Datter, Ahasias Søster, tog Joas, Ahasias Søn, og stjal ham midt ud af Kongens Børn, som bleve dræbte, ham og hans Amme i Sengekammeret; og de skjulte ham for Athalias Ansigt, saa at han ikke blev dræbt.
But Yehosheba', the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Achazyahu, took Joash the son of Achazyahu, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, him and his nurse into the bed-chamber: and they hid him from 'Athalyah, so that he was not slain.
3 Og han var hos hende i Herrens Hus skjult i seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
And he was with her in the house of the Lord hidden for six years, while 'Athalyah was reigning over the land.
4 Men i det syvende Aar sendte Jojada og tog de øverste over hundrede for Livvagten og Drabanterne og lod dem komme til sig i Herrens Hus; og han gjorde en Pagt med dem og tog en Ed af dem i Herrens Hus og viste dem Kongens Søn.
And in the seventh year Yehoyada' sent and fetched the rulers over the hundreds, of the guards and the runners, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and made them swear in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king's son.
5 Og han bød dem og sagde: Dette er den Gerning, som I skulle gøre: Den tredje Part af eder, som træde til om Sabbaten, skal holde Vagt imod Kongens Hus.
And 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 keeping watch in the king's house;
6 Og den tredje Part skal være ved Porten Sur og den tredie Part ved Porten, som er bag Drabanterne, og I skulle holde Vagt for Huset for at afspærre det.
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the runners; so shall ye keep watch at the house, as a defence.
7 Men de to Parter af eder, nemlig alle, som træde fra om Sabbaten, de skulle holde Vagt i Herrens Hus om Kongen.
And two parts of you all that are relieved on the sabbath, even they shall keep watch in the house of the Lord about the king.
8 Og I skulle omringe Kongen trindt omkring, enhver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, og hvo som trænger ind igennem Rækkerne, skal dødes; og I skulle være hos Kongen, naar han gaar ud, og naar han gaar ind.
And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranges shall be put to death: and be ye with the king when he goeth out and when he cometh in.
9 Og de øverste for hundrede gjorde efter alt det, som Jojada, Præsten, bød, og de toge hver sine Mænd, som traadte til om Sabbaten, tillige med dem, som traadte fra om Sabbaten, og de kom til Præsten Jojada.
And the captains over the hundreds did in accordance with all that Yohayada' the priest had commanded: and they took every man his men that came in on the sabbath, with those that were to be relieved on the sabbath, and came to Yehoyada' the priest.
10 Og Præsten gav Høvedsmændene for hundrede Spydene og Skjoldene, som havde hørt Kong David til, og som vare i Herrens Hus.
And the priest gave to the captains over the hundred the spears and shields that had belonged to king David, that were in the house of the Lord.
11 Og Drabanterne stode, hver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, fra den højre Side af Huset til den venstre Side af Huset, hen imod Alteret og Huset, trindt omkring Kongen.
And the runners stood every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and within, round about the king.
12 Siden førte han Kongens Søn ud og satte Kronen paa ham og overgav ham Vidnesbyrdet, og de gjorde ham til Konge og salvede ham, og de klappede i Hænderne og sagde: Kongen leve!
And 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, Long live the king.
13 Der Athalia hørte Drabanternes og Folkets Røst, da kom hun til Folket i Herrens Hus.
And when 'Athalyah heard the noise of the runners [and] of the people, she came to the people in the house of the Lord.
14 Og hun saa, og se, da stod Kongen paa Forhøjningen, som Skik var, og Fyrsterne og Basunerne vare om Kongen, og alt Folket i Landet var glad og blæste i Basunerne; da sønderrev Athalia sine Klæder og raabte: Oprør! Oprør!
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood upon a stand, according to custom, and the princes and the trumpeters were by the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets: and 'Athalyah then rent her clothes, and cried, Conspiracy! conspiracy!
15 Men Jojada, Præsten, bød de øverste over hundrede, som vare beskikkede over Hæren, og sagde til dem: Fører hende ud hen uden for Rækkerne, og hvo som følger hende, dræber ham med Sværd; thi Præsten havde sagt, at hun ikke skulde dræbes i Herrens Hus.
But Yehoyada' the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the commanders of the army, and said unto them, Lead her forth to within the ranges: and him that followeth her put to death with the sword. For the priest had said, She shall not be slain in the house of the Lord.
16 Og de gjorde Plads for hende til begge Sider, og hun gik den Vej, ad hvilken Hestene gaa til Kongens Hus, og hun blev dræbt der.
And they made way for her; and she went by the way of the entrance of the horses into the king's house: and she was put to death there.
17 Da gjorde Jojada en Pagt imellem Herren og imellem Kongen og Folket, at de skulde være Herrens Folk, og imellem Kongen og imellem Folket.
And Yehoyada' made a covenant between the Lord and between the king and between the people, that they should be a people unto the Lord; and between the king and between the people.
18 Da kom alt Folket i Landet ind i Baals Hus, og de nedbrøde hans Altre, og hans Billeder sønderbrøde de aldeles og sloge Matthan, Baals Præst, ihjel lige for Altrene; men Præsten beskikkede Tilsyn i Herrens Hus.
And then came all the people of the land into the house of Ba'al, and pulled it down: his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and Mattan the priest of Ba'al they slew before the altars. And the priest appointed superintendents over the house of the Lord.
19 Og han tog de øverste over hundrede og Livvagten og Drabanterne og alt Folket fra Landet, og de førte Kongen ned fra Herrens Hus og kom ad Vejen igennem Drabanternes Port til Kongens Hus; og han satte sig paa Kongernes Trone.
And he took the chiefs over hundreds, and the guards, and the runners, 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 runners to the king's house: and he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 Og alt Folket i Landet var glad, og Staden blev rolig, efter at de havde slaget Athalia ihjel med Sværd i Kongens Hus.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; but 'Athalyah they had slain with the sword at the king's house.
21 Joas var syv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge.
Seven years old was Jehoash when he became king.
