2 Kings 11:13-20
13When AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 from the guardsH7323 and the peopleH5971, she went outH935 toH413 the peopleH5971 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 14And she looked outH7200 and sawH2009 the kingH4428 standingH5975 byH5921 the pillarH5982, according to the customH4941. The officersH8269 and trumpetersH2689 were besideH413 the kingH4428, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 were rejoicingH8056 and blowingH8628 trumpetsH2689.
Then AthaliahH6271 toreH7167 her clothesH899 and screamedH7121, “TreasonH7195! TreasonH7195!”
15And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 orderedH6680 the commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967 in charge ofH6485 the armyH2428, “Bring her outH3318 between the ranksH7713,1 and put toH4191 the swordH2719 anyone who followsH935 herH310.” ForH3588 the priestH3548 had saidH559, “She must notH408 be put to deathH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.”
16So they seizedH7760 Athaliah as she reachedH935H1870 the horsesH5483’ entranceH3996 to the palace groundsH4428H1004, and thereH8033 she was put to deathH4191.
17Then JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 betweenH996 the LORDH3068 andH996 the kingH4428H996 and the peopleH5971 that they would beH1961 the LORD’sH3068 peopleH5971. He also made a covenant betweenH996 the kingH4428 andH996 the peopleH5971.
18So allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 wentH935 to the templeH1004 of BaalH1168 and tore it downH5422. They smashed the altarsH4196 and idolsH6754 to piecesH7665H3190, and they killedH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 in front ofH6440 the altarsH4196.
And Jehoiada the priestH3548 postedH7760 guardsH6486 forH5921 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 19He took with himH3947 the commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967, the CaritesH3746, the guardsH7323, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and they broughtH3381 the king downH4428 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and enteredH935 the royalH4428 palaceH1004 by wayH1870 of the GateH8179 of the GuardsH7323.
Then Joash took his seatH3427 onH5921 the royalH4428 throneH3678, 20and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055. And the cityH5892 was quietH8252, because AthaliahH6271 had been put toH4191 the swordH2719 at the royalH4428 palaceH1004.
