Preparations to Restore Judah. . 1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him. 2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. 3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David. 4 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors; 5 And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD . 6 But let none come into the house of the LORD , save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD . 7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. 8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. 9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God. 10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about. 11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king. We may well imagine the bad posture of affairs in Jerusalem during Athaliah's six years' usurpation, and may wonder that God permitted it and his people bore it so long; but after such a dark and tedious night the returning day in this revolution was the brighter and the more welcome. The continuance of David's seed and throne was what God had sworn by his holiness ( Psalms 89:35 ), and an interruption was no defeasance; the stream of government here runs again in the right channel. The instrument and chief manager of the restoration is Jehoiada, who appears to have been, 1. A man of great prudence, who reserved the young prince for so many years till he was fit to appear in public, and till the nation had grown weary of the usurper, who prepared his work beforehand, and then effected it with admirable secresy and expedition. When God has work to do he will qualify and animate men for it. 2. A man of great interest. The captains joined with him, 2 Chronicles 23:1 ; 2 Chronicles 23:1 . The Levites and the chief of the fathers of Israel came at his call to Jerusalem ( 2 Chronicles 23:2 ; 2 Chronicles 23:2 ) and were there ready to receive his orders. See what a command wisdom and virtue will give men. The Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada commanded ( 2 Chronicles 23:8 ; 2 Chronicles 23:8 ), and, which is strange, all that were entrusted with the secret kept their own counsel till it was executed. Thus the words of the wise are heard in quiet, Ecclesiastes 9:17 . 3. A man of great faith. It was not only common equity (much less his wife's relation to the royal family) that put him upon this undertaking, but a regard to the word of God, and the divine entail of the crown ( 2 Chronicles 23:3 ; 2 Chronicles 23:3 ): The king's son shall reign, must reign, as the Lord hath said. His eye to the promise, and dependence upon that, added a great deal of glory to this undertaking. 4. A man of great religion. This matter was to be done in the temple, which might occasion some breach of rule, and the necessity of the case might be thought to excuse it; but he gave special order that none of the people should come into the house of the Lord, but the priests and Levites only, who were holy, upon pain of death, 2 Chronicles 23:6 ; 2 Chronicles 23:7 . Never let sacred things be profaned, no, not for the support of civil rights. 5. A man of great resolution. When he had undertaken this business he went through with it, brought out the king, crowned him, and gave him the testimony, 2 Chronicles 23:11 ; 2 Chronicles 23:11 . He ventured his head, but it was in a good cause, and therefore he went on boldly. It is here said that his sons joined with him in anointing the young king. One of them, it is likely, was that Zechariah whom Joash afterwards put to death for reproving him ( 2 Chronicles 24:20 ; 2 Chronicles 24:20 ), which was so much the more ungrateful because he bore a willing part in anointing him. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-12-21" class="com-number"

유다를 왕정으로 회복하기 위한 준비. 1. 제7년에 여호야다가 담대하게 나서서, 여로함의 아들 아사랴, 여호하난의 아들 이스마엘, 오벳의 아들 아사랴, 아다야의 아들 마아세야, 시그리의 아들 엘리사밧, 이 백부장들을 자기와 함께 언약을 맺게 하였다. 2. 그들이 유다 전역을 두루 다니며, 유다 모든 성읍에서 레위인들과 이스라엘 족장들을 모아 예루살렘으로 왔다. 3. 온 회중이 하나님의 전에서 왕과 언약을 맺었다. 여호야다가 그들에게 말하기를, "보라, 여호와께서 다윗의 자손들에 대해 말씀하신 대로, 왕의 아들이 왕이 될 것이라"고 하였다. 4. "너희가 행할 일은 이러하다. 안식일에 들어오는 제사장들과 레위인들 중 삼분의 일은 문지기가 되고, 5. 삼분의 일은 왕궁에 있고, 삼분의 일은 기초 문에 있으라. 모든 백성은 여호와의 전 뜰에 있을 것이다. 6. 오직 제사장들과 섬기는 레위인들 외에는 아무도 여호와의 전에 들어오지 말라. 그들은 거룩하므로 들어갈 수 있다. 모든 백성은 여호와의 직분을 지킬 것이다. 7. 레위인들은 각자 손에 무기를 들고 왕을 사방으로 둘러서라. 누구든지 전에 들어오는 자는 죽일 것이다. 왕이 출입할 때에는 왕 곁에 있으라." 8. 레위인들과 온 유다 백성이 제사장 여호야다가 명한 모든 것을 그대로 행하였다. 각 대장은 안식일에 들어오는 자들과 나가는 자들을 모두 데려왔으니, 이는 제사장 여호야다가 반열을 해산하지 않았기 때문이다. 9. 제사장 여호야다가 하나님의 전에 있던 다윗 왕의 창과 작은 방패와 큰 방패를 백부장들에게 내주었다. 10. 그가 모든 백성을 각자 손에 무기를 들게 하여, 전 오른쪽에서부터 전 왼쪽까지, 제단과 전 옆을 따라 왕 주위를 둘러서게 하였다. 11. 그들이 왕의 아들을 데리고 나와 왕관을 씌우고 율법책을 주어 왕으로 삼았다. 여호야다와 그의 아들들이 그에게 기름을 붓고 "왕이여, 만수무강 하소서"라고 하였다.
아달랴가 6년 동안 왕위를 찬탈하는 동안 예루살렘의 형편이 얼마나 참담했는지는 충분히 짐작할 수 있다. 하나님이 그 일을 허락하시고 그의 백성이 그토록 오래 인내해야 했다는 것이 놀랍기도 하다. 그러나 이처럼 어둡고 긴 밤이 지난 후에 이 혁명으로 되돌아온 날빛은 더욱 밝고 반가운 것이었다. 다윗의 씨와 왕좌가 이어지는 것은 하나님이 그의 거룩함을 두고 맹세하신 바였고(시편 89:35), 중단은 결코 폐기가 아니었다. 통치의 물줄기는 마침내 올바른 방향으로 다시 흘렀다.
이 회복의 주역이자 핵심 관리자는 여호야다였는데, 그는 다음과 같은 인물로 드러난다.
**1. 큰 지혜의 사람.** 그는 어린 왕자를 여러 해 동안 공개적으로 나타날 준비가 될 때까지, 그리고 온 나라가 찬탈자에게 싫증을 느낄 때까지 숨겨 두었다. 그는 일을 미리 준비하고, 놀라운 비밀 유지와 신속함으로 이를 완수하였다. 하나님이 하실 일이 있을 때에는 반드시 그 일에 합당한 자를 세우시고 힘을 주신다.
**2. 큰 영향력의 사람.** 백부장들이 그와 함께하였고(역대하 23:1), 레위인들과 이스라엘 족장들이 그의 부름에 예루살렘으로 왔으며(역대하 23:2), 그의 명을 받을 준비가 되어 있었다. 지혜와 덕이 사람들에게 얼마나 큰 권위를 주는지 알 수 있다. 레위인들과 온 유다 백성이 여호야다의 명대로 행하였고(역대하 23:8), 더욱 놀라운 것은, 비밀을 알고 있던 자들 모두가 일이 완수될 때까지 입을 꼭 다물었다는 것이다. 이처럼 지혜로운 자의 말은 조용히 경청된다(전도서 9:17).
**3. 큰 믿음의 사람.** 그가 이 일을 추진한 것은 단순한 공평의 원칙(하물며 그의 아내의 왕실 혈통 때문은 더욱 아니었다) 때문이 아니라, 하나님의 말씀과 다윗 왕가의 왕위 계승에 관한 하나님의 약속을 존중했기 때문이었다(역대하 23:3). "여호와께서 말씀하신 대로 왕의 아들이 반드시 왕이 될 것이라." 약속을 바라보며 그것에 의지한 것이 이 행동에 큰 영광을 더했다.
**4. 큰 경건의 사람.** 이 일은 성전에서 이루어져야 했는데, 그 과정에서 일부 규칙이 어겨질 수도 있었다. 상황의 필요가 그것을 정당화할 수도 있었지만, 그는 제사장들과 레위인들만이 거룩하므로 들어올 수 있으며, 그 외의 누구도 여호와의 전에 들어오면 죽임을 당할 것이라고 특별히 명하였다(역대하 23:6-7). 거룩한 것은 세속적 권리를 세우기 위해서라도 결코 더럽혀져서는 안 된다.
**5. 큰 결단력의 사람.** 일을 맡은 후에 그는 끝까지 밀고 나갔다. 왕을 데리고 나와 왕관을 씌우고 율법책을 주었다(역대하 23:11). 그는 목숨을 걸었지만, 그것은 선한 명분이었으므로 담대히 나아갔다. 그의 아들들도 어린 왕에게 기름 붓는 일에 함께 참여했다고 기록되어 있다. 그 아들들 중 하나는 훗날 요아스가 자신을 책망한다는 이유로 죽인 스가랴였을 것이다(역대하 24:20). 요아스에게 기름 붓는 일에 기꺼이 참여했던 여호야다의 아들을 그토록 배은망덕하게 죽인 것은 더욱 큰 잘못이었다.

역대하 23장. 아달랴가 6년 동안 피로 물든 폭정을 휘두른 끝에, 이 장에서 우리는 그녀가 폐위되고 처형되며, 정당한 왕위 계승자인 요아스가 왕좌에 오르는 것을 보게 된다. 이 이야기는 열왕기하 11:4-21 등에서 거의 동일하게 기록되어 있다. 1. 여호야다가 백성을 왕 즉위를 위해 준비시키고, 자신의 계획을 알리며, 무장시키고, 각자의 위치를 정해 주었다(역대하 23:1-10). 2. 그가 왕을 백성 앞에 내세우고, 왕관을 씌우고, 기름을 부었다(역대하 23:11). 3. 그가 찬탈자를 처형했다(역대하 23:12-15). 4. 그가 왕국을 개혁하고, 종교를 재정립하며, 민간 통치를 회복했다(역대하 23:16-21).

Joash Crowned and Athaliah Slain. . 12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD : 13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason. 14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD . 15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there. 16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD 's people. 17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD , to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD , as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David. 19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD , that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in. 20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD : and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. 21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword. Here we have, I. The people pleased, 2 Chronicles 23:12 ; 2 Chronicles 23:13 . When the king stood at his pillar, whose right it was to stand there, all the people of the land rejoiced to see a rod sprung out of the stem of Jesse, Isaiah 11:1 . When it seemed a withered root in a dry ground, to see what they despaired of ever seeing--a king of the house of David, what a pleasing surprise was it to them! They ran in transports of joy to see this sight, praised the king, and praised God, for they had with them such as taught to sing praise. II. Athaliah slain. She ran upon the point of the sword of justice; for, imagining her interest much better than it was, she ventured into the house of the Lord at that time, and cried, Treason, treason! But nobody seconded her, or sided with her. The pride of her heart deceived her. She thought all her own, whereas none were cordially so. Jehoiada, as protector in the king's minority, ordered her to be slain ( 2 Chronicles 23:14 ; 2 Chronicles 23:14 ), which was done immediately ( 2 Chronicles 23:15 ; 2 Chronicles 23:15 ), only care was taken that she should not be slain in the house of the Lord, that sacred place must not be so far disgraced, nor that wicked woman so far honoured. III. The original contract agreed to, 2 Chronicles 23:16 ; 2 Chronicles 23:16 . In the Kings it is said that Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, the people, and the king, 2 Kings 11:17 . Here it is said to be between himself, the people, and the king; for he, as God's priest, was his representative in this transaction, or a sort of mediator, as Moses was. The indenture was tripartite, but the true intent and meaning of the whole was that they should be the Lord's people. God covenanted by Jehoiada to take them for his people; the king and people covenanted with him to be his; and then the king covenanted with the people to govern them as the people of God, and the people with the king to be subject to him as the Lord's people, in his fear and for his sake. Let us look upon ourselves and one another as the Lord's people, and this will have a powerful influence upon us in the discharge of all our duty both to God and man. IV. Baal destroyed, 2 Chronicles 23:17 ; 2 Chronicles 23:17 . They would not have done half their work if they had only destroyed the usurper of the king's right, and not the usurper of God's right--if they had asserted the honour of the throne, and not that of the altar. The greatest grievance of Athaliah's reign was the bringing in of the worship of Baal, and supporting of that; therefore that must be abolished in the first place. Down with Baal's house, his altars, his images; down with them all, and let the blood of his priests be mingled with his sacrifices; for God had commanded that seducers to idolatry should be put to death, Deuteronomy 13:5 ; Deuteronomy 13:6 . V. The temple service revived, 2 Chronicles 23:18 ; 2 Chronicles 23:19 . This had been neglected in the last reigns, the priest and people wanting either power or zeal to keep it up when they had princes that were disaffected to it. But Jehoiada restored the offices of the house of the Lord, which in the late times had been disturbed and invaded, to the proper course and proper hands. 1. He appointed the priests to their courses, for the due offering of sacrifices, according to the law of Moses. 2. The singers to theirs, according to the appointment of David. The sacrifices (it should seem) were offered with rejoicing and singing, and with good reason. We joy in God when we receive the atonement, Romans 5:11 . 3. The porters were put in their respective posts as David ordered ( 2 Chronicles 23:19 ; 2 Chronicles 23:19 ), and their office was to take care that none who were upon any account ceremonially unclean should be admitted into the courts of the temple. VI. The civil government re-established, 2 Chronicles 23:20 ; 2 Chronicles 23:20 . They brought the king in state to his own palace, and set him upon the throne of the kingdom, to give law, and give judgment, either in his own person or by Jehoiada his tutor. Thus was this happy revolution perfected. The generality of the people rejoiced in it, and the rest were quiet and made no opposition, 2 Chronicles 23:21 ; 2 Chronicles 23:21 . When the Son of David is enthroned in the soul all is quiet and springs of joy are opened. return to ' Top of Page ' 2 Chronicles 2Ch 22 2 Chronicles 2Ch 2 Chronicles 2Ch 24 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

요아스 즉위와 아달랴 처형. 12. 아달랴가 백성이 달려가며 왕을 찬양하는 소리를 듣고, 여호와의 전으로 백성에게 나아갔다. 13. 그녀가 보니, 왕이 입구 자기 기둥 곁에 서 있고, 지도자들과 나팔수들이 왕 곁에 있으며, 온 땅의 백성이 기뻐하며 나팔을 불었다. 노래하는 자들도 악기를 잡고 찬양을 인도하였다. 아달랴가 그 옷을 찢으며 "반역이다! 반역이다!"라고 외쳤다. 14. 제사장 여호야다가 군대를 지휘하는 백부장들을 불러내며 말하기를, "그녀를 군대 밖으로 끌어내라. 누구든지 그녀를 따르는 자는 칼로 죽여라"고 하였다. 제사장이 말하기를, "여호와의 전 안에서는 그녀를 죽이지 말라"고 하였다. 15. 그들이 그녀를 붙잡아, 왕궁 옆 말 문 입구에 이르렀을 때 거기서 죽였다. 16. 여호야다가 자신과 모든 백성과 왕 사이에 언약을 세워, 그들이 여호와의 백성이 되게 하였다. 17. 온 백성이 바알의 신전으로 가서 그것을 헐어버리고, 그 제단들과 형상들을 부수었으며, 제단 앞에서 바알의 제사장 맛단을 죽였다. 18. 여호야다가 모세의 율법에 기록된 대로, 여호와의 번제를 드리게 하기 위해, 다윗이 여호와의 전에 세운 제사장 레위인들의 손에 여호와의 전 직무를 맡겼다. 이는 다윗이 정한 대로 기쁨으로 노래하며 드리는 것이었다. 19. 그가 여호와의 전 문들에 문지기들을 세워, 어떤 이유로든 의식상 부정한 자는 아무도 들어오지 못하게 하였다. 20. 그가 백부장들과 귀인들과 백성의 지도자들과 온 땅의 백성을 데리고 왕을 여호와의 전에서 내려가게 하여, 윗 문을 통해 왕궁으로 들어가서 왕을 왕국의 보좌에 앉혔다. 21. 온 땅의 백성이 기뻐하고, 아달랴를 칼로 죽인 후에 성이 평온하였다.
이 본문에서 우리는 다음을 보게 된다.
**1. 백성의 기쁨(역대하 23:12-13).** 왕이 마땅히 서야 할 그의 기둥 곁에 서자, 온 땅의 백성이 이사야 11:1의 이새의 줄기에서 돋아난 가지를 보며 기뻐하였다. 마른 땅에서 자란 것처럼 보였던 줄기에서, 결코 보지 못할 것이라 절망했던 다윗 왕가의 왕을 보게 되었으니, 얼마나 기쁜 놀라움이었겠는가! 그들은 기쁨에 넘쳐 달려와 이 광경을 보고, 왕을 찬양하고 하나님을 찬양하였다. 그들과 함께 찬양을 인도하는 자들도 있었다.
**2. 아달랴의 처형.** 그녀는 스스로 정의의 칼날에 달려들었다. 자신의 세력이 실제보다 훨씬 강하다고 착각한 그녀는 감히 그 시각 여호와의 전에 들어와 "반역이다! 반역이다!"라고 외쳤다. 그러나 아무도 그녀의 편에 서지 않았고, 그녀를 지지하는 자도 없었다. 그 마음의 교만이 그녀를 속인 것이다. 그녀는 모두를 자기 것으로 여겼지만, 진심으로 그녀 편인 자는 아무도 없었다. 왕이 어린 동안 섭정직을 맡은 여호야다는 그녀를 죽이라고 명했고(역대하 23:14), 이는 즉시 집행되었다(역대하 23:15). 다만 여호와의 전 안에서 그녀를 죽이지 않도록 조심하였으니, 거룩한 그 장소가 그렇게까지 욕되게 되어서는 안 되었고, 또한 그 악한 여인이 그런 예우를 받아서도 안 되었다.
**3. 원래의 언약에 동의함(역대하 23:16).** 열왕기에는 여호야다가 여호와와 백성과 왕 사이에 언약을 맺었다고 기록되어 있다(열왕기하 11:17). 여기에서는 여호야다 자신과 백성과 왕 사이에 맺은 것으로 나오는데, 이는 그가 하나님의 제사장으로서 이 거래에서 하나님의 대리자였거나, 모세가 그러했던 것처럼 일종의 중보자였기 때문이다. 언약은 세 당사자 사이에 맺어졌지만, 그 전체의 참된 의미와 목적은 그들이 여호와의 백성이 되는 것이었다. 하나님은 여호야다를 통해 그들을 자신의 백성으로 삼겠다는 언약을 하셨고, 왕과 백성은 하나님의 백성이 되겠다고 그 앞에 언약하였다. 왕은 백성에게 하나님의 백성으로 통치하겠다고, 백성은 왕에게 하나님의 백성으로 그를 섬기겠다고 하나님을 경외하며 언약하였다. 우리 서로를 여호와의 백성으로 바라볼 때, 그것이 하나님과 사람에 대한 우리 모든 의무를 이행하는 데 강한 영향을 미친다.
**4. 바알 제거(역대하 23:17).** 찬탈자를 제거하기만 하고 하나님의 권리를 찬탈한 자를 제거하지 않았다면, 왕좌의 명예는 주장하면서 제단의 명예는 방치한 것이니, 일의 절반밖에 하지 못한 것이다. 아달랴 통치의 가장 큰 악은 바알 숭배를 도입하고 유지한 것이었다. 그러므로 그것을 먼저 없애야 했다. 바알의 신전, 그 제단, 그 형상들을 모두 무너뜨리고, 그 제사장들의 피를 그들의 제물과 함께 섞어라. 하나님은 우상 숭배로 유혹하는 자는 죽이라고 명하셨다(신명기 13:5-6).
**5. 성전 예배 회복(역대하 23:18-19).** 이것은 지난 통치들에서 방치되었는데, 제사장들과 백성이 왕들이 거부적일 때 그것을 유지할 힘도 열심도 없었기 때문이다. 그러나 여호야다는 최근에 교란되고 침범당했던 여호와의 전 직무를 마땅한 순서와 마땅한 담당자들에게 돌려놓았다. 첫째, 그는 모세의 율법에 따라 제사를 드리기 위해 제사장들에게 그 반열을 다시 정해 주었다. 둘째, 다윗의 정한 바에 따라 노래하는 자들에게도 그리 하였다. 제사들은 기쁨과 노래로 드려진 것으로 보이며, 그럴 만한 충분한 이유가 있었다. 우리는 화목을 받을 때 하나님 안에서 기뻐한다(로마서 5:11). 셋째, 문지기들이 다윗이 정한 대로 각자의 자리에 배치되었고(역대하 23:19), 그들의 임무는 어떤 이유로든 의식상 부정한 자가 성전 뜰에 들어오지 못하도록 하는 것이었다.
**6. 민간 통치 재건(역대하 23:20).** 그들이 왕을 예를 갖추어 왕궁으로 모시고, 왕국의 보좌에 앉혀 율법을 반포하고 재판을 행하게 하였다. 이는 왕이 친히 하든지, 그의 스승 여호야다를 통해 하든지 하였다. 이렇게 하여 이 행복한 혁명이 완수되었다. 백성의 대다수가 이를 기뻐하였고, 나머지도 잠잠하여 반대하지 않았다(역대하 23:21). 다윗의 자손이 영혼의 왕좌에 즉위할 때, 모든 것이 고요해지고 기쁨의 샘이 열린다.
