2 Kings 11:4 in Context — 2 Kings 11

2 Pero tomando Josaba hija del rey Joram, hermana de Ochôzías, á Joas hijo de Ochôzías, sacólo furtivamente de entre los hijos del rey, que se mataban, y ocultólo de delante de Athalía, á él y á su ama, en la cámara de las camas, y [así] no lo mataron.

3 Y estuvo con ella escondido en la casa de Jehová seis años: y Athalía fué reina sobre el país.

4 Mas al séptimo año envió Joiada, y tomó centuriones, capitanes, y gente de la guardia, y metiólos consigo en la casa de Jehová: é hizo con ellos liga, juramentándolos en la casa de Jehová; y mostróles al hijo del rey.

5 Y mandóles, diciendo: Esto es lo que habéis de hacer: la tercera parte de vosotros, los que entrarán el sábado, tendrán la guardia de la casa del rey;

6 Y la [otra] tercera parte estará á la puerta del sur, y la [otra] tercera parte á la puerta del postigo de los de la guardia: así guardaréis la casa, para que no sea allanada.
