3 E esteve com ela escondido na casa do SENHOR durante seis anos; e Atalia foi rainha sobre aquela terra.
4 Mas ao sétimo ano enviou Joiada, e tomou comandantes de cem, capitães, e gente da guarda, e meteu-os consigo na casa do SENHOR: e fez com eles liga, juramentando-os na casa do SENHOR; e mostrou-lhes ao filho do rei.
5 E mandou-lhes, dizendo: Isto é o que haveis de fazer: a terceira parte de vós, os que entrarão o sábado, terão a guarda da casa do rei;
6 E a outra terceira parte estará à porta do Sur, e a outra terceira parte à porta da entrada dos da guarda: assim guardareis a casa, para que não seja invadida.
7 E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem o sábado, tereis a guarda da casa do SENHOR junto ao rei.
