2 Chronicles 23:12-15

12When AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 runningH7323 and cheeringH1984 the kingH4428, she went outH935 toH413 them in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 13And she lookedH7200 and sawH2009 the kingH4428 standingH5975 byH5921 his pillarH5982 at the entranceH3996. The officersH8269 and trumpetersH2689 were besideH5921 the kingH4428, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 were rejoicingH8056 and blowingH8628 trumpetsH2689, while the singersH7891 with musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 were leadingH3045 the praisesH1984.

Then AthaliahH6271 toreH7167 her clothesH899 and screamedH559, “TreasonH7195, treasonH7195!”

14And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 sent outH3318 the commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967 in charge ofH6485 the armyH2428, sayingH559H413, “Bring her outH3318H413 betweenH1004 the ranksH7713,1 and put toH4191 the swordH2719 anyone who followsH935 herH310.” ForH3588 the priestH3548 had saidH559, “She must notH3808 be put to deathH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.”

15So they seizedH7760 Athaliah as she reachedH935H413 the entranceH3996 of the HorseH5483 GateH8179 on the palace groundsH4428H1004, and thereH8033 they put her to deathH4191.
