1 Athalia vero mater Ochoziæ, videns mortuum filium suum, surrexit, et interfecit omne semen regium. 2 Tollens autem Josaba filia regis Joram, soror Ochoziæ, Joas filium Ochoziæ, furata est eum de medio filiorum regis qui interficiebantur, et nutricem ejus de triclinio: et abscondit eum a facie Athaliæ ut non interficeretur. 3 Eratque cum ea sex annis clam in domo Domini: porro Athalia regnavit super terram. 4 Anno autem septimo misit Jojada, et assumens centuriones et milites, introduxit ad se in templum Domini, pepigitque cum eis fœdus: et adjurans eos in domo Domini, ostendit eis filium regis: 5 et præcepit illis, dicens: Iste est sermo, quem facere debetis: 6 tertia pars vestrum introëat sabbato, et observet excubias domus regis. Tertia autem pars sit ad portam Sur, et tertia pars sit ad portam quæ est post habitaculum scutariorum: et custodietis excubias domus Messa. 7 Duæ vero partes e vobis, omnes egredientes sabbato, custodiant excubias domus Domini circa regem. 8 Et vallabitis eum, habentes arma in manibus vestris: si quis autem ingressus fuerit septum templi, interficiatur: eritisque cum rege introëunte et egrediente. 9 Et fecerunt centuriones juxta omnia quæ præceperat eis Jojada sacerdos: et assumentes singuli viros suos qui ingrediebantur sabbato, cum his qui egrediebantur sabbato, venerunt ad Jojadam sacerdotem. 10 Qui dedit eis hastas et arma regis David, quæ erant in domo Domini. 11 Et steterunt singuli habentes arma in manu sua, a parte templi dextera usque ad partem sinistram altaris et ædis, circum regem. 12 Produxitque filium regis, et posuit super eum diadema et testimonium: feceruntque eum regem, et unxerunt: et plaudentes manu, dixerunt: Vivat rex. 13 Audivit autem Athalia vocem populi currentis: et ingressa ad turbas in templum Domini, 14 vidit regem stantem super tribunal juxta morem, et cantores, et tubas prope eum, omnemque populum terræ lætantem, et canentem tubis: et scidit vestimenta sua, clamavitque: Conjuratio, conjuratio. 15 Præcepit autem Jojada centurionibus qui erant super exercitum, et ait eis: Educite eam extra septa templi, et quicumque eam secutus fuerit, feriatur gladio. Dixerat enim sacerdos: Non occidatur in templo Domini. 16 Imposueruntque ei manus, et impegerunt eam per viam introitus equorum, juxta palatium, et interfecta est ibi. 17 Pepigit ergo Jojada fœdus inter Dominum, et inter regem, et inter populum, ut esset populus Domini: et inter regem et populum. 18 Ingressusque est omnis populus terræ templum Baal, et destruxerunt aras ejus, et imagines contriverunt valide: Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal occiderunt coram altari. Et posuit sacerdos custodias in domo Domini. 19 Tulitque centuriones, et Cerethi et Phelethi legiones, et omnem populum terræ, deduxeruntque regem de domo Domini: et venerunt per viam portæ scutariorum in palatium, et sedit super thronum regum. 20 Lætatusque est omnis populus terræ, et civitas conquievit: Athalia autem occisa est gladio in domo regis. 21 Septemque annorum erat Joas, cum regnare cœpisset.
