RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

21 And Yahu sent through kol Yisrael: and all the
worshippers of Ba’al came, so that there was not a man
left that did not come. And they came into the bayit of
Ba’al; and the bayit of Ba’al was full from one end to
another. 988
22 And he said to him that was over the wardrobe, Bring
forth garments for all the worshippers of Ba’al. And he
brought them forth garments.
23 And Yahu and Yehonadav the son of Rechav, went
into the bayit of Ba’al, and said to the worshippers of
Ba’al, Search, and look that there are here with you none
of the avadim of vuvh, but the worshippers of Ba’al
only. 989
24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt
offerings, Yahu appointed eighty men outside, and said, If
any of the men whom I have brought into your hands
escapes, he that lets him go, his chayim shall be in place
of the chayim of him that escaped.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of
offering the burnt offering, that Yahu said to the guard
and to the officers, Go in, and slay them; let none come
forth. And they killed them with the edge of the sword;
and the guard and the officers cast them out, and went to
the city of the bayit of Ba’al.
26 And they brought forth the images out of the bayit of
Ba’al, and burned them.
27 And they broke down the image of Ba’al, and broke
down the bayit of Ba’al, and made it a latrine to this day.
28 In this manner Yahu destroyed Ba’al out of Yisrael.
29 However from the sins of Yahravam the son of Nevat,
who made Yisrael to sin, Yahu departed not from after
them, from the golden calves that were in Beth-El, and
that were in Dan.
30 And vuvh said to Yahu, Because you have done well in
executing that which is tzadik in My eyes, and have done
to Beit Achav according to all that was in My lev, your
children until the fourth generation shall sit on the kesay
of Yisrael.
31 But Yahu took no heed to have his halacha in the
Torah of vuvh Elohim of Yisrael with all his lev: for he
departed not from the sins of Yahravam, who made
Yisrael to sin.
32 In those days vuvh began to cut Yisrael short: and
Haza-El killed them in all the borders of Yisrael;
33 From Yarden eastward, all the land of Gilad, the
Gadites, and the Reuvenites, and the Menashshehites,
from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, even Gilad and
Bashan.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Yahu, and all that he did,
and all his might, are they not written in the Scroll of the
Divre HaYamim about the melechim of Yisrael?
35 And Yahu slept with his ahvot: and they buried him in
Shomron. And Yahuachaz his son reigned in his place.
36 And the time that Yahu reigned over Yisrael in
Shomron was twenty-eight years.

And when Athalyah the eema of Achazyahu saw that
her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal
offspring.
2 But Yehosheva, the daughter of melech Yahuram, sister
of Achazyahu, took Yoash the son of Achazyahu and
stole him from among the melech's sons that were killed;
and they hid him and his nurse, in the bedroom from
MELECHIM BET - SECOND KINGS
- 258 -
Athalyah, so that he was not killed.
3 And he was with her hidden in the Bayit of vuvh six
years. And Athalyah did reign over the land.
4 And the seventh year Yahuyadah sent and got the rulers
over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and
brought them to him into the Bayit of vuvh, and made a
brit with them, and took an oath from them in the Bayit of
vuvh, and showed them the melech's son.
5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that
you shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the
Shabbat shall even be guards of the melech's bayit;
6 And a third part shall be at the Gate of Sur; and a third
part at the gate behind the guard: so shall you keep the
watch of the bayit; that it is not broken down.
7 And two parts of all that go forth on the Shabbat, even
they shall keep the watch of the Bayit of vuvh for the
melech.
8 And you shall surround the melech all around, every
man with his weapons in his hand: and he that comes
inside the ranks, let him be killed: and be with the melech
as he goes out and as he comes in.
9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all
things that Yahuyadah the kohen commanded: and they
took every man his men that were to come in on the
Shabbat, with them that should go out on the Shabbat, and
came to Yahuyadah the kohen.
10 And to the captains over hundreds did the kohen give
melech Dawid's spears and shields, that were in the Bayit
of vuvh.
11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in
his hand, all around the melech, from the right corner of
the Bayit to the left corner of the Bayit, along by the altar
of the Bayit.
12 And he brought forth the melech's son, and put the
keter upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they
made him melech, and anointed him; and they clapped
their hands, and said, Le-Chayim to the melech.
13 And when Athalyah heard the noise of the guards and
of the people, she came to the people into the Bayit of
vuvh.
14 And when she looked, see, the melech stood by a
pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the
trumpeters by the melech, and all the people of the land
rejoiced, and blew with shofars: and Athalyah tore her
clothes, and cried, Treason! Treason!
15 But Yahuyadah the kohen commanded the captains of
the hundreds, the officers of the armies, and said to them,
Taker her away outside the ranks: and whoever follows
her kill with the sword. For the kohen had said, Let her
not be killed in the Bayit of vuvh.
16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the
derech that the horses came into the melech's bayit: and
there was she killed.
17 And Yahuyadah made a brit between vuvh and the
melech and the people that they should be vuvh's people;
between the melech also and the people.
18 And all the people of the land went into the bayit of
Ba’al, and broke it down; his altars and his images they
broke in pieces fully, and killed Mattan the pagan priest
of Ba’al before the altars. And the kohen appointed
officers over the Bayit of vuvh.
19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains,
and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they
