2nd Kings 11:2-13

²And Jehosheba, the daughter of king Jehoram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst of the sons of the king, that were slain; and she took the nurse of him from the house of three stages; and she hid him from the face of Athaliah, so that he were not slain.

³And he was with her in the house of the Lord privily six years. Forsooth Athaliah reigned upon the land six years.

⁴But in the seventh year Jehoiada, the priest, sent, and took chieftains upon hundreds, and knights, and he brought them to him into the temple of the Lord; and covenanted with them a bond of peace, and he made them to swear in the temple of the Lord, and showed to them the son of the king.

¹¹And all stood having arms in their hand, from the right side of the temple unto the left side of the altar and of the house, about the king.

¹²And he brought forth the son of the king, and put upon his head a diadem, and the witnessing; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped with the hands, and said, The king live!
