2 Chronicles 23:16-21
16Then 1JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 betweenH996 himself and allH3605 the peopleH5971 and the kingH4428, that they would be the Lord’sH3068 peopleH5971.
17And allH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 and toreH5422 it downH5422, and they brokeH7665 in piecesH7665 his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754, and 2killedH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196.
18Moreover, JehoiadaH3077 placedH7760 the officesH6486 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 under the 3authorityH3027 of 4the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548, 5whomH834 DavidH1732 had assignedH2505 overH5921 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, to offerH5927 the burntH5930 offeringsH5930 of the LordH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872--6with rejoicingH8057 and singingH7892 accordingH5921 to the 7orderH3027 of DavidH1732.
19He stationedH5975 8the gatekeepersH7778 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, so that noH3808 one would enterH935 who was in anyH3605 wayH1697 uncleanH2931.
209He tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, the noblesH117, the rulersH4910 of the peopleH5971 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and broughtH3381 the kingH4428 downH3381 from the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and cameH935 throughH8432 the upperH5945 gateH8179 to the king’sH4428 houseH1004. And they placedH3427 the kingH4428 upon the royalH4467 throneH3678.
21So 10allH3605 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055 and the cityH5892 was quietH8252. For they had putH4191 AthaliahH6271 to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.
