Jehoiada Anoints the Child, Joash

Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign. His mother's name was zibea of beersheba. While ataliah reigned over the land, jehoida sent and brought the captains of the karites and of the guards,. He made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the lord. Whoever approaches the ranks is to be slain. Be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in. The people continued to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places.
