2 Chronicles 23:1-3

New English Translation

23 In the seventh year Jehoiada made a bold move. He made a pact^[a] with the officers of the units of hundreds: Azariah son of Jehoram, Ishmael son of Jehochanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zikri. ² They traveled throughout Judah and assembled the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the Israelite family leaders.

They came to Jerusalem, ³ and the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in the temple of God. Jehoiada^[b] said to them, “The king’s son will rule, just as the Lord promised David’s descendants.
