Jehoiada makes a covenant, and all the people of the land break down the house of Baal and kill Mattan the priest of Baal

여호야다가 언약을 세우게 하고 온 국민이 바알의 당을 훼파하며 바알의 제사장 맛단을 죽임

2 Kings 11:17–21: Jehoiada makes a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also between the king and the people. All the people of the land go to the house of Baal, and break it down. They break his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and kill Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The text says, “The priest appointed officers over the LORD’s house. He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the LORD’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings. So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.” It also says, “Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.” Where WEB reads “before the altars” (11:18), the Korean Revised Version reads 그 단 앞에서, before the altar; it gives 11:19 no subject at its start, where WEB reads “He took”; and where WEB reads “the throne of the kings”, it reads 왕의 보좌, the king’s throne. It names the king 요아스 (Joash) at 11:21.
