2 Kings 11:12-21

12Then he broughtH3318 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 out and 1putH5414 the crownH5145 on him and gave him 2the testimonyH5715; and they madeH4427 him kingH4427 and anointedH4886 him, and they clappedH5221 their handsH3709 and saidH559, “3Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!”

134When AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the guardH7323 and of the peopleH5971, she cameH935 to the peopleH5971 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 14She lookedH7200 and beholdH2009, the kingH4428 was standingH5975 5by the pillarH5982, according to the customH4941, with the captainsH8269 and the 6trumpetersH2689 besideH413 the kingH4428; and 7allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056 and blewH8628 trumpetsH2689. Then AthaliahH6271 8toreH7167 her clothesH899 and criedH7121, “9TreasonH7195! TreasonH7195!” 15And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 who were appointedH6485 over the armyH2428 and saidH559 to them, “BringH3318 her out 10betweenH413H4480H1004 the ranksH7713, and whoever followsH935H310 her putH4191 to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.” For the priestH3548 saidH559, “Let her not be putH4191 to deathH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 16So they 11seizedH7760H3027 her, and when she arrivedH935 at the horses’H5483 entranceH3996 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, she was 12putH4191 to deathH4191 thereH8033.

17Then 13JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 betweenH996 the LordH3068 and the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971, that they would be the Lord’sH3068 peopleH5971, also 14betweenH996 the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971. 18AllH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 wentH935 to 15the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and toreH5422 it downH5422; 16his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 they brokeH7665 in piecesH7665 thoroughlyH3190, and 17killedH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. And the priestH3548 appointedH7760 18officersH6486 overH5921 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 19He tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 and the 19CaritesH3746 and the 20guardsH7323 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and they broughtH3381 the kingH4428 downH3381 from the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and cameH935 by the wayH1870 of 21the gateH8179 of the 22guardsH7323 to the king’sH4428 houseH1004. And he satH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428. 20So 23allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055 and the cityH5892 was quietH8252. For they had putH4191 AthaliahH6271 to deathH4191 with the swordH2719 at the king’sH4428 houseH1004.

212425JehoashH3060 was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427.
