2 Kings 11:14-16

14Then she saw the king! He was standing in the king's place beside the pillar in the temple. The army officers and the men with trumpets were standing beside the king. All the people of Judah were shouting with joy. Many of them made music with trumpets. When Athaliah saw this, she was very upset. She tore her clothes. She shouted, ‘Treason! Treason!’

15Jehoiada the priest gave a command to the army officers who had authority over groups of soldiers. He told them, ‘Bring her out of the temple to the line of guards outside. Use your swords to kill anyone who follows her.’ That was because Jehoiada had said, ‘You must not kill her inside the Lord's temple.’

16So they took hold of Athaliah. They took her through the gate for the king's horses into the yard of the palace. They killed her there.
