2 Kings 11:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ Then he took the rulers over hundreds, the captains, the guard, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord and came by way of the guards’ gate to the king’s house. And [little] Joash was seated on the throne of the kings.

²⁰ So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been slain with the sword beside the king’s house.

²¹ Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.
