2 Kings 11:17-20 - Jehoiada's Reforms

¹⁷ And Jehoiada maketh the covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, to be for a people to Jehovah, and between the king and the people. ¹⁸ And all the people of the land go in to the house of Baal, and break it down, its altars and its images they have thoroughly broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars; and the priest setteth inspectors over the house of Jehovah, ¹⁹ and taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they bring down the king from the house of Jehovah, and come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the king, and he sitteth on the throne of the kings. ²⁰ And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city is quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword in the house of the king;

¹⁶ And Jehoiada maketh a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to Jehovah; ¹⁷ and all the people enter the house of Baal, and break it down, yea, his altars and his images they have broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars.

¹⁸ And Jehoiada putteth the offices of the house of Jehovah into the hand of the priests the Levites whom David had apportioned over the house of Jehovah, to cause to ascend the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as written in the law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David; ¹⁹ and he stationeth the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of Jehovah, and the unclean in anything doth not go in. ²⁰ And he taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the honourable ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and bringeth down the king from the house of Jehovah, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom. ²¹ And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city hath been quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword.
