但约兰王的女儿，阿哈齐雅的姊姊约舍巴，将阿哈齐雅的儿子约阿士，从被杀的王太子中偷了出来，把他和他的奶妈安置在寝室内，藏了起来，没有让阿塔里雅看见：这样才没有被杀。

约阿士和他的奶妈，在上主的殿内隐藏了六年，当时由阿塔里雅主持国政。

第七年，约雅达派人将众百夫长，加黎人队长和卫队长召来，领进上主的殿，与他们立约，在上主殿内起誓，然后引君王的儿子出来与他们相见，

同时吩咐他们说：＂你们应这样行事，在安息日进宫值班的三分之一，要照例守卫王宫，
6anotherthirdshallbeatthegateSur;andthelastthirdshallbeatthegatebehindtheguards.
另三分之一守卫稣尔门，另三分之一把守守卫者的后门；仍照旧值班守卫圣殿。

在安息日从上主殿内下班的两队，仍应在上主的殿内戒备，

9ThecaptainsdidjustasJehoiadathepriestcommanded.Eachonewithhismen,boththosegoingondutyforthesabbathandthosegoingoffdutythatweek,cametoJehoiadathepriest.
百夫长就按照司祭约雅达所吩咐的一切去行，各自带领在安息日值班，和在安息日下班的士兵，来见司祭约雅达。
10HegavethecaptainsKingDavid'sspearsandshields,whichwereinthetempleoftheLORD.
司祭便将上主殿内属达味王的刀枪和盾牌，交给了众百夫长。
11Andtheguards,withdrawnweapons,linedupfromthesoutherntothenorthernlimitoftheenclosure,surroundingthealtarandthetempleontheking'sbehalf.
卫兵每人手持武器，自殿右至殿左，面对祭坛和圣殿，环立在君王四周；
12ThenJehoiadaledouttheking'ssonandputthecrownandtheinsigniauponhim.Theyproclaimedhimkingandanointedhim,clappingtheirhandsandshouting,＂Longlivetheking!＂
然后引出太子来，给他加冕，将约书交给他，立他为王，给他傅油，在场民众都鼓掌欢呼：＂君王万岁！＂
13Athaliahheardthenoisemadebythepeople,andappearedbeforetheminthetempleoftheLORD.
阿塔里雅听见民众叫喊声，就进上主的殿，到民众前。
142Whenshesawthekingstandingbythepillar,aswasthecustom,andthecaptainsandtrumpetersnearhim,withallthepeopleofthelandrejoicingandblowingtrumpets,shetorehergarmentsandcriedout,＂Treason,treason!＂
她一看，见君王照仪式站在高台上，官长和吹号角的，都站在君王两旁，所有当地人民欢乐吹号；阿塔里雅就撕裂了自己的衣服，喊叫说：＂反了，反了！＂
15ThenJehoiadathepriestinstructedthecaptainsincommandoftheforce:＂Bringheroutsidethroughtheranks.Ifanyonefollowsher,＂headded,＂lethimdiebythesword.＂HehadgivenordersthatsheshouldnotbeslaininthetempleoftheLORD.
约雅达司祭即吩咐带领军队的众百夫长说：＂将她从行列中赶出去，凡跟随她的，都用刀杀死。＂原来司祭曾吩咐说：不可在上主的殿内杀她。
16Shewasledoutforciblytothehorsegateoftheroyalpalace,whereshewasputtodeath.
于是众人捉住她；当她由马门进入王宫时，就地将她杀了。
17ThenJehoiadamadeacovenantbetweentheLORDasonepartyandthekingandthepeopleastheother,bywhichtheywouldbetheLORD'Speople;andanothercovenant,betweentheking此后，约雅达使君王和人民与上主立约，作上主的人民；又使君王与人民立约。

然后，所有当地人民都到巴耳庙去，将庙拆毁，将祭坛推翻，将神像完全打碎，在祭台前斩了巴耳的司祭玛堂。司祭约雅达又调派士兵把守上主的殿，
19withthecaptains,theCarians,theguards,andallthepeopleoftheland,ledthekingdownfromthetempleoftheLORDthroughtheguards'gatetothepalace,whereJoashtookhisseatontheroyalthrone.
以后，率领众百夫长、加黎人、卫兵和所有当地人民，请君王从上主的殿下来，经卫兵门进入王宫，请他坐在王位上。

全国人民都欢乐喜庆，京城也很平静。至于阿塔里雅，已在王宫死在刀下。
