2 Mga Hari 11
Magandang Balita Biblia
Inagaw ni Atalia ang Trono(A)
11 Nang malaman ni Atalia na patay na ang anak niyang si Ahazias, sinikap niyang patayin ang lahat ng kamag-anak ng hari. 2 Ngunit si Joas na anak ni Ahazias ay naitakas ng tiya niyang si Jehoseba na anak ni Haring Jehoram at kapatid ni Ahazias. Itinago niya ito pati ang tagapag-alaga sa isang silid kaya hindi napatay ni Atalia. 3 Pagkatapos, dinala niya ito sa Templo ni Yahweh at anim na taóng itinago roon habang si Atalia ang naghahari sa lupain.
4 Ngunit nang ikapitong taon ng pamumuno ni Atalia, ipinatawag ni Joiada ang mga pinuno ng mga bantay ng hari at ng mga bantay sa palasyo at pinapunta sa loob ng Templo. Pinagtibay nila roon ang isang kasunduan sa pangalan ni Yahweh. Pagkatapos, iniharap sila sa anak ng hari. 5 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ito ang gagawin ninyo: ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bantay para sa Araw ng Pamamahinga ay magbabantay sa palasyo ng hari. 6 Ang isang ikatlong bahagi ay sa Pintuang Sur at ang isa pang bahagi ay sa may pagpasok sa likuran ng mga tagapagdala ng balita. 7 Ang dalawang pangkat namang hindi nanunungkulan sa Araw ng Pamamahinga 8 ang magbabantay sa hari. Sinumang lumapit ay patayin ninyo. Huwag ninyong hihiwalayan ang hari kahit saan magpunta.”
9 Sinunod ng mga pinuno ang lahat ng iniutos sa kanila ng paring si Joiada. Isinama nila kay Joiada ang kani-kanilang tauhan, pati ang hindi nakatalagang manungkulan kung Araw ng Pamamahinga. 10 At ibinigay ni Joiada sa mga opisyal ang mga kagamitan ni Haring David: ang mga sandata at pananggalang na nasa Templo ni Yahweh. 11 At bawat kawal ay tumayo sa kanya-kanyang lugar at nakahanda sa anumang mangyayari. Ang iba'y sa gawing timog, ang iba'y sa hilaga, sa paligid ng altar at ng tirahan ng hari. 12 Inilabas ni Joiada ang prinsipe. Kinoronahan niya ito, iniabot ang aklat ng Kautusan, binuhusan ng langis, at ipinahayag na hari. Pagkatapos, nagpalakpakan sila at nagsigawan: “Mabuhay ang hari!”
13 Nang marinig ni Atalia ang ingay ng mga bantay at ng taong-bayan, pinuntahan niya ang mga ito sa Templo ni Yahweh. 14 Pagdating(B) doon, nakita niyang nakatindig ang hari sa tabi ng isang haligi sa harapan ng Templo, tulad ng kaugalian. Ang mga opisyal at ang mga taga-ihip ng trumpeta ay nakatayo sa tabi ng hari. Ang buong bayan naman ay di magkamayaw sa galak at walang malamang gawin sa pag-ihip ng kanilang trumpeta. Nang makita ito ni Atalia, sinira niya ang kanyang kasuotan at malakas na sinabi, “Ito'y isang malaking kataksilan!”
15 Iniutos ng paring si Joiada sa mga opisyal ng hukbo, “Ilabas ang babaing iyan at patayin pati ang sinumang magtatangkang magligtas sa kanya. Ngunit huwag ninyo silang papatayin sa loob ng Templo ni Yahweh.” 16 Siya'y sinunggaban nila, inilabas sa daanan ng mga kabayo ng hari, papasok sa palasyo at doon pinatay.
Ang mga Pagbabagong Isinagawa ni Joiada(C)
17 Pagkatapos, pinanumpa ni Joiada si Haring Joas at ang taong-bayan na maging tapat bilang sambayanan ni Yahweh. Pinanumpa rin niya sa isang kasunduan ang hari at ang sambayanan. 18 Pagkatapos, pumunta ang mga tao sa templo ni Baal. Giniba nila ito at winasak pati ang rebulto ni Baal. Pinatay nila sa harap ng altar si Matan na isang pari ni Baal. At si Joiada ay naglagay ng mga bantay sa Templo ni Yahweh. 19 Tinipon niya ang mga pinuno ng mga bantay ng hari at ng mga bantay ng palasyo at sinamahan nila ang hari mula sa Templo ni Yahweh hanggang sa palasyo kasunod ang mga tao. Pumasok si Joas sa pintuan ng bantay at umupo siya sa trono bilang hari. 20 Nagdiwang ang bayan. At naging mapayapa sila mula nang patayin si Atalia sa tirahan ng hari.
21 Si Joas ay pitong taóng gulang nang maging hari ng Juda.
2 Kings 11
New King James Version
Athaliah Reigns in Judah(A)
11 When (B)Athaliah (C)the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was (D)dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs. 2 But [a]Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of (E)Ahaziah, took [b]Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered; and they hid him and his nurse in the bedroom, from Athaliah, so that he was not killed. 3 So he was hidden with her in the house of the Lord for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Joash Crowned King of Judah(F)
4 In (G)the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds—of the bodyguards and the [c]escorts—and brought them into the house of the Lord to him. And he made a covenant with them and took an oath from them in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king’s son. 5 Then he commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall do: One-third of you who [d]come on duty (H)on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king’s house, 6 one-third shall be at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down. 7 The two [e]contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord for the king. 8 But you shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within range, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.”
9 (I)So the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each of them took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields which had belonged to King David, (J)that were in the temple of the Lord. 11 Then the escorts stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, all around the king, from the right [f]side of the temple to the left side of the temple, by the altar and the house. 12 And he brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, and gave him the (K)Testimony;[g] they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, (L)“Long live the king!”
Death of Athaliah(M)
13 (N)Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the escorts and the people, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord. 14 When she looked, there was the king standing by (O)a pillar according to custom; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. So Athaliah tore her clothes and cried out, “Treason! Treason!”
15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said to them, “Take her outside [h]under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of the Lord.” 16 So they seized her; and she went by way of the horses’ entrance into the king’s house, and there she was killed.
17 (P)Then Jehoiada (Q)made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people, and also (R)between the king and the people. 18 And all the people of the land went to the (S)temple of Baal, and tore it down. They thoroughly (T)broke in pieces its altars and [i]images, and (U)killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And (V)the priest appointed [j]officers over the house of the Lord. 19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, the bodyguards, the escorts, and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and went by way of the gate of the escorts to the king’s house. Then he sat on the throne of the kings. 20 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword in the king’s house. 21 Jehoash was (W)seven years old when he became king.

Athaliah Reigns in Judah
11 (A)Now when (B)Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took (C)Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king's sons who were being put to death, and she put[a] him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus they[b] hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death. 3 And he remained with her six years, hidden in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Joash Anointed King in Judah
4 (D)But in the seventh year (E)Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of (F)the Carites and of the guards, and had them come to him in the house of the Lord. And he made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the Lord, and he showed them the king's son. 5 And he commanded them, “This is the thing that you shall do: one third of you, (G)those who come off duty on the Sabbath and guard the king's house 6 ((H)another third being at the gate Sur and a third at the gate behind the guards) shall guard the palace.[c] 7 And the two divisions of you, which come on duty in force on the Sabbath and guard the house of the Lord on behalf of the king, 8 shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand. And whoever approaches the ranks is to be put to death. Be with the king (I)when he goes out and when he comes in.”
9 The captains did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they each brought his men who were to go off duty on the Sabbath, with those who were to come on duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 And the priest gave to the captains the spears and (J)shields that had been King David's, which were in the house of the Lord. 11 And the guards stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the south side of the house to the north side of the house, around the altar and the house on behalf of the king. 12 Then he brought out the king's son and put (K)the crown on him and gave him (L)the testimony. And they proclaimed him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, (M)“Long live the king!”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she went into the house of the Lord to the people. 14 And when she looked, there was the king standing (N)by the pillar, according to the custom, and the captains and the trumpeters beside the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and (O)blowing trumpets. And Athaliah (P)tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!” 15 Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains who were set over the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to death with the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest said, “Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.” 16 So they laid hands on her; and she went through the horses' entrance to the king's house, and there she was put to death.
17 And Jehoiada (Q)made a covenant between the Lord and the king and people, that they should be the Lord's people, and also (R)between the king and the people. 18 Then all the people of the land went to (S)the house of Baal and tore it down; (T)his altars and his images they broke in pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest posted watchmen over the house of the Lord. 19 And he took the captains, (U)the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, marching through (V)the gate of the guards to the king's house. And he took his seat on the throne of the kings. 20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been put to death with the sword at the king's house.
