Chapter 23
1In the seventh year of Athaliah’s reign, Jehoiada the priest decided to act. He summoned his courage and made a pact with five army commanders: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zicri. 2These men traveled secretly throughout Judah and summoned the Levites and clan leaders in all the towns to come to Jerusalem.
3They all gathered at the Temple of God, where they made a solemn pact with Joash, the young king. Jehoiada said to them, 'Here is the king’s son! The time has come for him to reign! The Lord has promised that a descendant of David will be our king.
4This is what you must do. When you priests and Levites come on duty on the Sabbath, a third of you will serve as gatekeepers.
