Kings IV 11:2-13

²And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, secreting him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.

³And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.

⁴And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.

⁵And charged them, saying, This is the thing which you° shall do.

⁶Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath-day, and keep you° the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you° the guard of the house.

⁷And there shall be two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.

⁸And do you° compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.

⁹And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.

¹⁰And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.

¹¹And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, by the altar and the house round about the king.

¹²And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and gave him the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king.

¹³And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
