2 Kings 11:4 in Context — 2 Kings 11
2 Mais Joschéba, fille du roi Joram, sœur d’Achazia, prit Joas, fils d’Achazia, et l’enleva du milieu des fils du roi, quand on les fit mourir: elle le mit avec sa nourrice dans la chambre des lits. Il fut ainsi dérobé aux regards d’Athalie, et ne fut point mis à mort.
3 Il resta six ans caché avec Joschéba dans la maison de l’Éternel. Et c’était Athalie qui régnait dans le pays.
4 La septième année, Jehojada envoya chercher les chefs de centaines des Kéréthiens et des coureurs, et il les fit venir auprès de lui dans la maison de l’Éternel. Il traita alliance avec eux et les fit jurer dans la maison de l’Éternel, et il leur montra le fils du roi.
5 Puis il leur donna ses ordres, en disant: Voici ce que vous ferez. Parmi ceux de vous qui entrent en service le jour du sabbat, un tiers doit monter la garde à la maison du roi,
6 un tiers à la porte de Sur, et un tiers à la porte derrière les coureurs: vous veillerez à la garde de la maison, de manière à en empêcher l’entrée.
