23:1 Anno autem septimo, confortatus Jojada, assumpsit centuriones, Azariam videlicet filium Jeroham, et Ismahel filium Johanan, Azariam quoque filium Obed, et Maasiam filium Adaiae, et Elisaphat filium Zechri : et iniit cum eis foedus.

11:1
Now Athalia, the mother of Ochozias, seeing that her son was dead, arose and slew all the royal seed.
*H And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.
Ver. 1. Seventh. Vat. Sept. by mistake, has "the eighth." — Encouraged, or "strengthened." Sept. &c. H. — Captains, whether Levites, or ancient officers of the crown, who were dissatisfied with the usurper. 4 K. xi.
Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἐκραταίωσεν Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους, τὸν Ἀζαρίαν υἱὸν Ἰωρὰμ, καὶ τὸν Ἰσμαὴλ υἱὸν Ἰωανὰν, καὶ τὸν Ἀζαρίαν υἱὸν Ὠβὴδ, καὶ τὸν Μαασαίαν υἱὸν Ἀδία, καὶ τὸν Ἐλισαφὰν υἱὸν Ζαχαρίου, μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.

23:2 Qui circumeuntes Judam, congregaverunt Levitas de cunctis urbibus Juda, et principes familiarum Israel, veneruntque in Jerusalem.
*H And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Ver. 2. Israel, of which Juda formed a part. M. — At the time when the author lived, Israel was destroyed, so that there was no danger of a mistake. — Jerusalem, on a sabbath-day, and most likely on one of the three great festivals: (C.) Salien (A. 3157) thinks at the Passover, to avoid suspicion. M.
Καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν τὸν Ἰούδαν, καὶ συνήγαγον τοὺς Λευίτας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ἰούδα, καὶ ἄρχοντας πατριῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

23:3 Iniit ergo omnis multitudo pactum in domo Dei cum rege, dixitque ad eos Jojada : Ecce filius regis regnabit, sicut locutus est Dominus super filios David.
And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.
Καὶ διέθεντο πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰούδα διαθήκην ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως βασιλευσάτω, καθὼς ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυίδ.

23:4 Iste est ergo sermo quem facietis :
*H And this is the thing that you shall do:
Ver. 4. Do. Though God's promise was absolute, human means were to be used. W.
Νῦν ὁ λόγος οὗτος, ὃν ποιήσετε· τὸ τρίτον ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰσπορευέσθωσαν τὸ σάββατον τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰς πύλας τῶν εἰσόδων,

23:5 tertia pars vestrum qui veniunt ad sabbatum, sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et janitorum erit in portis : tertia vero pars ad domum regis : et tertia ad portam quae appellatur Fundamenti : omne vero reliquum vulgus sit in atriis domus Domini.
*H A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king's house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
Ver. 5. To the sabbath. That is, to perform in your weeks the functions of your office, or the weekly watches. Ch. — Porters. Sept. "even to the entrance gates." — House, where Athalia resided, or in the apartments of Joas in the temple. — Foundation. Sept. "middle." Syr. "of the cooks, or guards." H. — It led from the palace up the steps, v. 21. M. — Perhaps it was also called Sur, 4 K. — But let. This seems to be transposed out of its place from v. 6.
καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου.

23:6 Nec quispiam alius ingrediatur domum Domini, nisi sacerdotes, et qui ministrant de Levitis : ipsi tantummodo ingrediantur, quia sanctificati sunt : et omne reliquum vulgus observet custodias Domini.
And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord.
Καὶ μὴ εἰσελθέτω εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, ἐὰν μὴ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῶν Λευιτῶν· αὐτοὶ εἰσελεύσονται ὅτι ἅγιοί εἰσι, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς φυλασσέτω φυλακὰς Κυρίου.

23:7 Levitae autem circumdent regem, habentes singuli arma sua (et siquis alius ingressus fuerit templum, interficiatur), sintque cum rege et intrante et egrediente.
*H And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.
Ver. 7. Slain. Athalia ventured to enter; but she was alone, and not much feared. C.
Καὶ κυκλώσουσιν οἱ Λευῖται τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ ἀνδρὸς σκεῦος σκεῦος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς τὸν οἶκον ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ ἔσονται μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐκπορευομένου καὶ εἰσπορευομένου αὐτοῦ.

23:8 Fecerunt ergo Levitae, et universus Juda, juxta omnia quae praeceperat Jojada pontifex : et assumpserunt singuli viros qui sub se erant, et veniebant per ordinem sabbati, cum his qui impleverant sabbatum et egressuri erant : siquidem Jojada pontifex non dimiserat abire turmas quae sibi per singulas hebdomadas succedere consueverant.
*H So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest had commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.
Ver. 8. High. Heb. "the priest dismissed not the courses." H. — In case of right and necessity, we see here what the high priest could do, though otherwise he would not interfere. W.
Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ Λευῖται καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεύς· καὶ ἔλαβον ἕκαστος τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς τοῦ σαββάτου ἕως ἐξόδου τοῦ σαββάτου, ὅτι οὐ κατέλυσεν Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰς ἐφημερίας.

23:9 Deditque Jojada sacerdos centurionibus lanceas, clypeosque et peltas regis David, quas consecraverat in domo Domini.
And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
Καὶ ἔδωκεν Ἰωδαὲ τὰς μαχαίρας καὶ τοὺς θυρεοὺς καὶ τὰ ὅπλα ἃ ἦν τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυὶδ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ.

23:10 Constituitque omnem populum tenentium pugiones a parte templi dextra, usque ad partem templi sinistram, coram altari et templo, per circuitum regis.
*H And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king.
Ver. 10. Altar of holocausts, in the court of the priests, while the people stood in their own court. T.
Καὶ ἔστησε τὸν λαὸν πάντα ἕκαστον ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου τῆς δεξιᾶς ἕως τῆς ὠμίας τῆς ἀριστερᾶς τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου, ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα κύκλῳ.

23:11 Et eduxerunt filium regis, et imposuerunt ei diadema et testimonium, dederuntque in manu ejus tenendam legem, et constituerunt eum regem : unxit quoque illum Jojada pontifex, et filii ejus : imprecatique sunt ei, atque dixerunt : Vivat rex.
*H And they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.
Ver. 11. Crown. Lit. "diadem." — Testimony. This is explained in the following sentence, (H.) which is not in Heb. nor in many Latin MSS. The Jews understand the phylacteries. Deut. xvii. 18.
Καὶ ἐξήγαγε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὸ βασίλειον καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν, ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς.

23:12 Quod cum audisset Athalia, vocem scilicet currentium atque laudantium regem, ingressa est ad populum in templum Domini.
Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord.
Καὶ ἤκουσε Γοθολία τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ λαοῦ τρεχόντων, καὶ ἐξομολογουμένων, καὶ αἰνούντων τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.

23:13 Cumque vidisset regem stantem super gradum in introitu, et principes, turmasque circa eum, omnemque populum terrae gaudentem, atque clangentem tubis, et diversi generis organis concinentem, vocemque laudantium, scidit vestimenta sua, et ait : Insidiae, insidiae.
*H And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason.
Ver. 13. Step. Heb. hamudo, "his pillar," to which he ascended by steps. D. — Entrance into the court of the priests; but the tribune stood in that of the people, where Joas was in his royal attire.
Καὶ εἶδε, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τῆς στάσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ οἱ σάλπιγγες· καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες περὶ τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ηὐφράνθη, καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξι, καὶ οἱ ᾄδοντες ἐν τοῖς ὀργάνοις ᾠδοὶ, καὶ ὑμνοῦντες αἶνον· καὶ διέῥῥηξε Γοθολία τὴν στολὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐβόησεν, ἐπιτιθέμενοι ἐπιτίθεσθε.

23:14 Egressus autem Jojada pontifex ad centuriones et principes exercitus, dixit eis : Educite illam extra septa templi, et interficiatur foris gladio. Praecepitque sacerdos ne occideretur in domo Domini,
And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχοις, καὶ τοῖς ἀρχηγοῖς τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐκβάλετε αὐτὴν ἐκτὸς τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ εἰσέλθατε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀποθανέτω μαχαίρᾳ, ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεὺς, μὴ ἀποθανέτω ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

23:15 et imposuerunt cervicibus ejus manus : cumque intrasset portam equorum domus regis, interfecerunt eam ibi.
And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.
Καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτῇ ἄνεσιν, καὶ διῆλθε διὰ τῆς πύλης τῶν ἱππέων τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ.

23:16 Pepigit autem Jojada foedus inter se, universumque populum, et regem, ut esset populus Domini.
*H And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the lord.
Ver. 16. Himself, as God's vicegerent. C. — A double covenant was made between God and the people, and between the king and his subjects. D.
Καὶ διέθετο Ἰωδαὲ διαθήκην ἀναμέσον αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τοὺ βασιλέως, εἶναι λαὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ.

23:17 Itaque ingressus est omnis populus domum Baal, et destruxerunt eam, et altaria ac simulacra illius confregerunt : Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal interfecerunt ante aras.
*H And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Ver. 17. Idols. Prot. "images." H. — Those are wilfully blind who will not distinguish these from the images of Christ and his saints. W.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς εἰς οἶκον Βάαλ, καὶ κατέσπασαν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτοῦ ἐλέπτυναν, καὶ τὸν Ματθὰν ἱερέα Βάαλ ἐθανάτωσαν ἐναντίον τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτοῦ.

23:18 Constituit autem Jojada praepositos in domo Domini sub manibus sacerdotum et Levitarum quos distribuit David in domo Domini, ut offerrent holocausta Domino, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi, in gaudio et canticis, juxta dispositionem David.
*H And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.
Ver. 18. David, which had been long neglected. 1 Par. xxiv. M.
Καὶ ἐνεχείρισεν Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς ἱερέων καὶ Λευιτῶν, καὶ ἀνέστησε τὰς ἐφημερίας τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν, ἃς διέστειλε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ἀνενέγκαι ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν νόμῳ Μωυσῆ, ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς διὰ χειρὸς Δαυίδ.

23:19 Constituit quoque janitores in portis domus Domini, ut non ingrederetur eam immundus in omni re.
He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.
Καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ πυλωροὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται ἀκάθαρτος εἰς πᾶν πρᾶγμα.

23:20 Assumpsitque centuriones, et fortissimos viros, ac principes populi, et omne vulgus terrae, et fecerunt descendere regem de domo Domini, et introire per medium portae superioris in domum regis, et collocaverunt eum in solio regali.
*H And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king's house, and set him on the royal throne.
Ver. 20. Upper gate of the guards, at the back or western end of the temple. C. v. 5.
Καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς πατριάρχας, καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ εἰσῆλθε διὰ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἐσωτέρας εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐκάθισαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς βασιλείας.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
