4 And in the seventh year Je·hoiʹa·da+ sent and then took the chiefs of hundreds of the Caʹri·an+ bodyguard and of the runners+ and brought them to himself at the house of Jehovah and concluded a covenant+ with them and made them swear+ at the house of Jehovah, after which he showed them the son of the king.

15 But Je·hoiʹa·da the priest commanded the chiefs of hundreds, the appointed ones of the military force,+ and said to them: “Take her out from inside the rows, and, as for anyone coming after her, let there be an execution of death* with the sword!”+ For the priest had said: “Do not let her be put to death in the house of Jehovah.”
