< 2 Kings 11 >

1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede al kongelig Sæd.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons [who were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the bed-chamber, from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
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.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
Og han var hos hende i Herrens Hus skjult i seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took 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 showed them the king's son.
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.
5 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 keepers of the watch of the king's house;
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.
6 And 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.
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.
7 And 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.
Men de to Parter af eder, nemlig alle, som træde fra om Sabbaten, de skulle holde Vagt i Herrens Hus om Kongen.
8 And ye shall compass the king around, 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.
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.
9 And 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.
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.
10 And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David's spears and shields, that [were] in the temple of the LORD.
Og Præsten gav Høvedsmændene for hundrede Spydene og Skjoldene, som havde hørt Kong David til, og som vare i Herrens Hus.
11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and the temple.
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.
12 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, God save the king.
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!
13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and] of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
Der Athalia hørte Drabanternes og Folkets Røst, da kom hun til Folket i Herrens Hus.
14 And 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.
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!
15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said to 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.
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.
16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
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.
17 And 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.
Da gjorde Jojada en Pagt imellem Herren og imellem Kongen og Folket, at de skulde være Herrens Folk, og imellem Kongen og imellem Folket.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke wholly in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the the house of the LORD.
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.
19 And 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.
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.
20 And 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.
Og alt Folket i Landet var glad, og Staden blev rolig, efter at de havde slaget Athalia ihjel med Sværd i Kongens Hus.
21 Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign.
Joas var syv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge.
