2 Kings 11:19-21

19And he took the captains of hundreds and the 1Carites, and the 2guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and came by way of 3the gate of the 4guards to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 20So 5all the people of the land rejoiced and the city was 6peaceful. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king’s house.
