brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
28
Thus Jehu destroyed
Baal out of Israel.
29
Howbeit
from
the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed
not from after them,
to wit,
the golden calves that
were
in Bethel, and that
were
in Dan.
30
And the
L
ORD
said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing
that which is
right in mine eyes,
and
hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that
was
in mine heart, thy children of the
fourth
generation
shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of
the L
ORD
God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which
made Israel to sin.
32
In those days the L
ORD
began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of
Israel;
33
From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the
Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34
Now the rest of
the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might,
are
they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35
And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria.
And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
36
And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria
was
twenty and eight years.
CHAPTER KINGS 11
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all
the seed royal.
2
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son
of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king’s sons
which were
slain; and they hid him,
even
him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3
And he was with
her hid in the house of the L
ORD
six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
4
And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains
and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the L
ORD
, and made a covenant with them,
and took an oath of them in the house of the L
ORD
, and shewed them the king’s son.
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;
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.
7
And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall
keep the watch of the house of the L
ORD
about the king.
8
And ye shall compass the king round
about, 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.
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.
10
And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David’s spears
