2 Raja-raja 11

2 Kings 11

Atalya dibunuh dan Yoas menjadi raja 11:1 Ketika Atalya, ibu Ahazia, melihat bahwa anaknya sudah mati, maka bangkitlah ia membinasakan semua keturunan raja. 11:2 Tetapi Yoseba, anak perempuan raja Yoram, saudara perempuan Ahazia, mengambil Yoas bin Ahazia, menculik dia dari tengah-tengah anak-anak raja yang hendak dibunuh itu, memasukkan dia dengan inang penyusunya ke dalam gudang tempat tidur, dan menyembunyikan dia terhadap Atalya, sehingga dia tidak dibunuh. 11:3 Maka tinggallah dia enam tahun lamanya bersama-sama perempuan itu dengan bersembunyi di rumah TUHAN, sementara Atalya memerintah negeri. 11:4 Dalam tahun yang ketujuh Yoyada mengundang para kepala pasukan seratus dari orang Kari dan dari pasukan bentara penunggu. Disuruhnyalah mereka datang kepadanya di rumah TUHAN, lalu diikatnya perjanjian dengan mereka dengan menyuruh mereka bersumpah di rumah TUHAN. Kemudian diperlihatkannyalah anak raja itu kepada mereka. 11:5 Sesudah itu ia memerintahkan kepada mereka: "Inilah yang harus kamu lakukan: sepertiga dari kamu, yakni yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat di sini, tetapi mengawal di istana raja -- 11:6 sepertiga lagi ada di pintu gerbang Sur dan sepertiga pula di pintu gerbang di belakang para bentara penunggu -- haruslah mengawal di istana; 11:7 dan kedua regu dari pada kamu, yakni semua orang yang bertugas di sini pada hari Sabat dan mengawal di rumah TUHAN, 11:8 haruslah mengelilingi raja dari segala penjuru, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, dan siapa yang mendatangi barisan haruslah mati dibunuh. Dan baiklah kamu menyertai raja setiap kali ia keluar atau masuk." 11:9 Para kepala pasukan seratus itu melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan imam Yoyada. Masing-masing mengambil orang-orangnya yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang masuk bertugas pada hari itu, lalu datanglah mereka kepada imam Yoyada. 11:10 Imam memberikan kepada para kepala pasukan seratus itu tombak-tombak dan perisai-perisai kepunyaan raja Daud yang ada di rumah TUHAN. 11:11 Kemudian para bentara itu, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, mengambil tempatnya di lambung kanan sampai ke lambung kiri rumah itu, dengan mengelilingi mezbah dan rumah itu untuk melindungi raja. 11:12 Sesudah itu Yoyada membawa anak raja itu ke luar, mengenakan jejamang kepadanya dan memberikan hukum Allah kepadanya. Mereka menobatkan dia menjadi raja serta mengurapinya, dan sambil bertepuk tangan berserulah mereka: "Hiduplah raja!" 11:13 Ketika Atalya mendengar suara bentara-bentara penunggu dan rakyat, pergilah ia mendapatkan rakyat itu ke dalam rumah TUHAN. 11:14 Lalu dilihatnyalah raja berdiri dekat tiang menurut kebiasaan, sedang para pemimpin dengan para pemegang nafiri ada dekat raja. Dan seluruh rakyat negeri bersukaria sambil meniup nafiri. Maka Atalya mengoyakkan pakaiannya sambil berseru: "Khianat, khianat!" 11:15 Tetapi imam Yoyada memerintahkan para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni orang-orang yang mengepalai tentara, katanya kepada mereka: "Bawalah dia keluar dari barisan! Siapa yang memihak kepadanya bunuhlah dengan pedang!" Sebab tadinya imam itu telah berkata: "Janganlah ia dibunuh di rumah TUHAN!" 11:16 Lalu mereka menangkap perempuan itu. Pada waktu ia masuk ke istana raja dengan melalui pintu bagi kuda, dibunuhlah dia di situ. 11:17 Kemudian Yoyada mengikat perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan raja dan rakyat, bahwa mereka menjadi umat TUHAN; juga antara raja dengan rakyat. 11:18 Sesudah itu masuklah seluruh rakyat negeri ke rumah Baal, lalu merobohkannya; mereka memecahkan sama sekali mezbah-mezbahnya dan patung-patung dan membunuh Matan, imam Baal, di depan mezbah-mezbah itu. Kemudian imam Yoyada mengangkat penjaga-penjaga untuk rumah TUHAN. 11:19 Sesudah itu ia mengajak para kepala pasukan seratus orang-orang Kari dan para bentara penunggu dan seluruh rakyat negeri, lalu mereka membawa raja turun dari rumah TUHAN; mereka masuk ke istana raja melalui pintu gerbang para bentara; kemudian duduklah raja di atas takhta kerajaan. 11:20 Bersukarialah seluruh rakyat negeri dan amanlah kota itu, setelah Atalya mati dibunuh dengan pedang di istana raja. Yoas, raja Yehuda 11:21 Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja.

11:1 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs.
11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took 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.
11:3 So he was hidden with her in the house of the LORD for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
11:4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundredsof the bodyguards and the escortsand 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.
11:5 Then he commanded them, saying, "This [is] what you shall do: Onethird of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king's house,
11:6 "onethird [shall be] at the gate of Sur, and onethird at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down.
11:7 "The two contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD for the king.
11:8 "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."
11:9 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.
11:10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields which [had belonged] to King David, that were in the temple of the LORD.
11:11 Then the escorts stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, all around the king, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, by the altar and the house.
11:12 And he brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and [gave him] the Testimony; they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, "Long live the king!"
11:13 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the escorts [and] the people, she came to the people [in] the temple of the LORD.
11:14 When she looked, there was the king standing by 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!"
11:15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said to them, "Take her outside 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."
11:16 So they seized her; and she went by way of the horses' entrance [into] the king's house, and there she was killed.
11:17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD, the king, and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people, and [also] between the king and the people.
11:18 And all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal, and tore it down. They thoroughly broke in pieces its altars and images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
11:19 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.
11:20 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.
11:21 Jehoash [was] seven years old when he became king.
